Simulation Models for Development of Optimal Material Handling, Storage and Distribution, Phase I
2006
Storch, Richard L.
The initial phase of a two part study to develop a simulation procedure for shipyard material handling operations is described. This phase involved investigation of software alternatives available for simulation, optimization, material handling and data base management. Additionally, material classifications, equipment choice figures of merit and a material handling equipment data base have been developed. The report presents a discussion of the software investigation and presents choices and rationales to be used in the second phase. Additionally, the format and typical entries in the material handling data base are presented. A detailed discussion of the final figure of merit equation developed and to be used is also included. A detailed description of the simulation and optimization model is also presented. Finally, the results of a feasibility study concerning the potential for successful simulation of the problem is presented.
