SELECTED ASPECTS OF SIMULATION MODELLING OF INTERNAL TRANSPORT PROCESSES PERFORMED AT LOGISTICS FACILITIES
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2014, Vol 30, Issue 2
Abstract
The transport is an important part of logistic systems. Improper management of transport operations may contribute to the low level of the usage of vehicles and to high transport costs, as well as to the formation of unnecessary high inventory at each location of storage, as well as prolonged time of order realization and not full use of company capacity. It is therefore important the appropriate dimensioning, planning of the transport system and performed transport operations so as to allow the supply of certain goods at the right time and the amount to the appropriate points of the system. The article presents the methods of transport operations modelling, taking into account different criteria based on discrete event simulation. In the article the case study of modelling transport operations in the small cross-docking centre is also presented<br/><br/>
