dc.description.abstractThe County Airport Mail Center provides air mail services for a large metropolis. The current state of the facility is not Keeping up with the growing demand of mail processing in its service area. The purpose of this project Is to complete the conceptual design of a material handling system for the County Airport Mail Center. The front-end needs analysis and initial design activity were completed by XYZ Company, contracted by the United States Postal Service to define systems requirements and provide an Operational Systems Layout (OSL) for the County AMC. The scope of this project was to complete the conceptual design using systems engineering tools to define design characteristics for the County AMC. The Operational Systems Layout delivered by XYZ Company was used as the baseline for defining these characteristics. A detailed discussion of the front-end analysis performed by XYZ Company including their simulation effort is provided to justify using their work as the baseline for completing the conceptual design. Their project emphasized the use of simulation. My effort to complete the conceptual design included cost analysis to ensure that both operational and financial requirements were met. A summary of the Systems Engineering activities that were undertaken from needs analysis to definition of design characteristics is also provided as a guideline for future development of material handling systems.en
