Justification of automatic storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) in a heavy engineering industry

In this paper the authors attempt to modify the Brown Gibson Plant location model to consider the objective factors and applied analytic hierarchical process to consider the subjective factors in the decision process of selecting automatic storage and retrieval systems in place of traditional storage systems.
