Optimalization of transport and logistic processes by simulation

Abstract

Logistic centres are a necessary part of the transport and logistics processes. They are beneficial in the entire scale of their importance, ranging from the economical, ecological up to the social benefits. The costs for the construction of the logistics centres are very high. It is therefore important to set up sufficient capacity for all partial parts of the logistic centre. One possibility is to use the simulation processes to verify the expected future operations in the logistics centre. This article deals with the benefits of the simulation processes and their possible use in the design of new logistics centres

Keywords

• logistic centre, simulation process, optimization
