Abstract
We compare the effectiveness and efficiency of alternative operational dispatching policies that are integrated into the design phase of a circular material handling network for automated material handling vehicles. Exact formulations describe the problem of optimal concurrent design of the unidirectional loop track layout along with the locations of the pickup and drop-off stations. The objective is to minimise the total loaded and empty vehicle trip distances, which is a surrogate for vehicle fleet size. Since first-encounter-first-served cannot be modelled on a loop and station locations which are not yet designed, we approach first-encounter-first-served optimal design through shortest-trip-distance-first. Managerial observations in support of shortest-trip-distance-first are reported. The findings of the optimisation models in the design phase are well supported by the outcomes of the simulation model in the operation phase. We conclude that one should apply shortest-trip-distance-first dispatching when designing the loop and stations and then follow first-encountered-first-served in operating the fleet of the vehicles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
