METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SELECTING A LOCATION TO STORE A PRODUCTION CONSUMABLE

A method of determining a location of one or more print production items in a storage facility may include identifying one or more print production items used by one or more autonomous production cells in a print shop, and determining, by a computing device, a demand value associated with each of the identified print production items. The demand value may represent a frequency with which the print production item is used by the autonomous production cells over a period of time. The method may include grouping the identified print production items into one or more groups based on the autonomous production cell that uses the identified print production items, assigning each group to an autonomous storage cell, and determining a location of one or more autonomous storage cells based on the demand values associated with the print production items in the group associated with the autonomous storage cell.
