Abstract

The purpose of this research is to propose a solution that minimizes fuel consumption and the average travel distance, and at the same time, maximizes the utilization of forklift usage in the biggest glass manufacturer in Indonesia. The methods are by using Class-Based Storage, Dedicated Storage, and simulation. We simulate 18 scenarios for various assignment policies, the arrival probabilities of entities, and the number of available forklifts. The best scenario is obtained by using Dedicated Storage with a combination of one storage forklift and one delivery forklift
