    Tutorial 3 - Analysis of Vehicle-Based Systems

    Uploaded by

    aziz
    The document analyzes material transport systems and vehicle-based delivery cycles. It presents a formula to calculate the total cycle time per delivery as the sum of loading time, travel time when loaded, unloading time, and empty travel time. It then shows how the cycle time can be used to determine the hourly delivery rate per vehicle and the number of vehicles required to meet a specified delivery requirement. As an example, it calculates the cycle time, hourly delivery rate, and number of vehicles required for an AGVS system with given parameters.

    Analysis of

    Material Transport Systems

    ▪ Analysis of vehicle-based systems


    ▪ From-to charts and network diagrams
    ▪ Rate of deliveries per vehicles
    ▪ Number of vehicles required
    ▪ The time for a typical delivery cycle consists of
    1. Loading at the pickup station
    2. Travel time to the drop off station
    3. Unloading at the drop off station
    4. Empty travel time of the vehicle between deliveries
    Total cycle time per delivery per vehicle

    Tc = TL + Ld/Vc + TU + Le/Ve

    ▪ Tc: delivery cycle time (min/del)


    ▪ TL: time to load at load station (min)
    ▪ Ld: distance between load and unload stations (m)
    ▪ Vc: carrier velocity when loaded (m/min)
    ▪ TU: time to unload at unload station (min)
    ▪ Le: distance the vehicle travels empty before next cycle
    ▪ Ve: velocity of empty vehicle (m/min)
    Usage of delivery cycle time

    Tc: can be used to determine 2 parameters


    ▪ Tc: delivery cycle time (min/del)

    ▪ Rate of deliveries per vehicle

    ▪ Number of vehicles required to satisfy a specified total


    delivery requirement
    Hourly rate of deliveries per vehicle
    The hourly rate of deliveries per vehicle is 60min, adjusted
    for any time losses during the hour, divided by the delivery
    cycle time.

    Rdv = AT / Tc = (60.A.Tf.E) / Tc

    ▪ Rdv: hourly delivery rate per vehicle (del/hour per vehicle)


    ▪ AT: available time in 1 hour with adjustments for time losses (min/hr)
    ▪ Tc: delivery cycle time (min/del)
    ▪ A: availability (vehicle not broken down or repaired)
    ▪ Tf: traffic factor (time losses due to traffic congestion)
    ▪ E: worker efficiency
    Number of vehicles required
    The total number of vehicles can be estimated by calculating
    the total workload required and then dividing by the
    available time per cycle.

    Nc = WL / AT = Rf.Tc / AT = Rf / Rdv

    ▪ Nc: number of carriers required


    ▪ WL = work load (min/hr): total amount of work, expressed in
    terms of time, that must be done in 1 hour = Flow rate X Tc
    ▪ AT: available time in 1 hour with adjustments for time losses (min/hr)
    ▪ Rf: specified flow rate of total deliveries per hour (del/hr)
    ▪ Tc: delivery cycle time (min/del)
    ▪ Rdv: hourly delivery rate per vehicle (del/hour per vehicle)
    AGVS data
    ▪ Loading time at load station: 0.75 min - TL
    ▪ Unloading time at unload station: 0.50 min - Tu
    ▪ AGVS complete total 40 del/hr – Flow rate Unload

    ▪ Vehicle velocity: 50 m/min – Vc, Ve A

    ▪ Ideal delivery cycle time –Tc ?


    ▪ Number of vehicles required –Nc ?
    Determining number of vehicles
    required in this AGVS
    ▪ Loaded travel distance: Ld = 35 + 40 + 35 = 110m
    ▪ Travel distance empty: Le = 20 + 40 + 20 = 80m
    ▪ Ideal cycle time per delivery per vehicle Unload
    man

    ▪ Tc = TL + Ld/Vc + TU + Le/Ve A

    V
    ▪ Tc = 0.75 + 110/50 + 0.50 + 80/50 20

    ▪ Tc = 5.05 min = Delivery cycle time 55

    ▪ Workload of AGVS:
    ▪ WL = flow rate X Tc = 40(5.05) = 202 min 20

    ▪ AT = 51.3 min per hour per vehicle
    ▪ Number of vehicles: Nc = WL/AT = 202/51.3 = 3.94
