Abstract	The sequencing of storage and retrieval requests in multi-shuttle automated storage and retrieval systems is formulated based on a new approach—the complete grouping formulation. The main objective of this sequencing problem is to minimize total travel time of a storage and retrieval machine to complete a list of storage and retrieval requests. Different local search algorithms are employed to solve the formulated sequencing problem. Since no local search suitable for the formulated problem is currently available, we have proposed several variation operators integrated into common local search algorithms for solving the problem. The performance of the proposed algorithms are examined and evaluated through extensive computational experiments. Through the experiments, suitable local search as well as effective variation operator are suggested.
