Abstract
In this paper we investigate automated storage/retrieval systems where a due date is specified for each retrieval order. We consider the inclusion of both order retrieval and storage in the same tour when possible. Rules are developed for sequencing and batching orders to tours such that the total tardiness of retrievals per group of orders is minimized.

It is shown that significant reductions in crane travel time and distance are obtainable from turnover-based rules, and these improvements can be directly translated into increased throughput capacity for existing systems, and may be used to alter the design of proposed systems.

Four heuristics are developed for the order batching problem, based on the time-saving criterion of combining two or more orders in a single tour rather than processing them one order at a time.
