Abstract
This thesis presents a case study in the modernization of existing bulk material storage facilities at the Naval Supply Center, Oakland, California. By means of a physical random sample of material stored in the bulk storage branch, the requirements for a modernized system are determined. An overview of current state-of-the-art material handling technology provides a choice of alternatives for the modernization. Economic analysis of alternatives is conducted utilizing the criteria contained in the Naval Supply Systems Command Publication 52 9, Warehouse Modernization and Layout Planning Guide, and the Naval Supply Systems Command Instruction 7000. 10A of 29 October 1974, "Economic Analysis and Program Evaluation for Resource Management." The recommended solution for modernizing the bulk materials storage facility is a high-rise storage retrieval system utilizing unmanned stacker cranes and. transfer cars.
