Simulation of Supply Chain with Disturbances Using Flexsim - Case Study

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of the paper is to present a simulation model of transportation which includes different disturbances. The paper describes in detail modeled route and way of modeling some disturbances. In article authors presented influence of distinguished distortion to time of realization transport task. Authors create own object with using Discrete Event Simulation and Agent Based Simulation approach. The research highlights of the performed works are as follows: showing influence of disturbances to transportation time and present a description to build objects, which represent disturbances.

Empirical Model of Discretized Copper Ore Flow Within the Underground Mine Transport System

“…One of such tools, the FlexSim package [1][2][3], was recently applied in various branches of industry. These include simulating the process of mass customization of products [4], performance improvement of airport security control system [5,6], fully-automatic sorting system design [7], dynamic redesign of the production system [8], lot sizing optimization [9], order batching algorithm for pick-and-pass system [10], production logistics optimization [11], production of tapered roller bearings [12], supply chain management [13][14][15], mixed line production in automotive sector [16] or implementation of lean manufacturing system in printing facility [17].…”
