    This document contains 4 problems related to automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs). The first problem asks how many vehicles are needed to satisfy a delivery requirement of 35 deliveries/hr given average travel distances, speeds, load/unload times, and system factors. The second problem involves calculating production rates and vehicle needs for a multi-station manufacturing layout. The third problem repeats the second but with lower system factors. The fourth problem develops an equation relating vehicle needs to average empty travel distance for a given delivery requirement and system parameters.

    AGV PROBLEMS

    1) An automated guided vehicle system has an average travel distance per delivery =
    220 m and an average empty travel distance =160 m. Load and unload times are each
    24sec and the and speed of the AGV = 1 m/sec. Traffic factor = 0.9 and availability =
    0.94. How many vehicles are needed to satisfy a delivery requirement of 35
    deliveries/hr?

    2) A planned manufacturing system will have the layout pictured in Figure and will use
    an automated guided vehicle system to move parts between stations ln the layout. All
    work parts are loaded into the system at station 1, moved to one of three processing
    stations (2,3, or 4), and then brought back to station 1 for unloading. once loaded onto
    its AGV, each work part stays onboard the vehicle throughout its time ii the
    manufacturing system. Load and unload times at station 1 are each 0.5 min. Processing
    times at the processing stations are 6.5 min at station 2, 8.0 min at station 3, and 9.5 min
    at station 4. Vehicle speed = 50 m/min. Assume that the traffic factor = 1.0 and vehicle
    availability = 100%.
    (a) Construct the from-to chart for distances.
    (b) Determine the maximum hourly production rate for each of the three processing
    stations, assuming that 15 sec will be lost between successive vehicles at each station;
    this is the time for the vehicle presently at the station to move out and the next vehicle
    to move into the station for processing.
    (c) Find the total number of AGVs that will be needed to achieve these production rates.

    3) In the previous problem, it is unrealistic to assume that the traffic factor will be 1.0
    and that vehicle availability will be 100%. It is also unrealistic to believe that the
    processing stations will operate at 100% reliability. Solve the problem except the traffic
    factor = 90% and availability of the vehicles and processing workstations = 95 %.

    4) An AGVS has an average loaded travel distance per delivery = 500 ft. The average
    empty travel distance is not known. Required number of deliveries/hr = 30. Load and
    unload times are each 1.0 min and the AGV speed = 350 ft/min. Anticipated traffic factor
    = 0.90 and availability = 0.85. Develop an equation that relates the number of vehicles
    required to operate the system as a function of the average empty travel distance Le.
