<br/><br/> This research study deals with item class design in an automated warehouse when class-based storage is used as the assignment policy.  The objective of t he class design is the maximiza tion of  system throughput capacity. The problem is represented as a mixed integer, nonlinear programming problem and is solved by an enumerative type of algorithm. The solution method is tested on a computer.  The impact on item c lass design by changing some of the  warehouse and item characteristics is studied with the aid of the model.
