Modelling of Selected Logistic Process in Logistic Centre Using Dynamic Simulation

Abstract

Today's turbulent and highly competitive market environment forces companies to continually improve and streamline their processes. One of the management and planning tools is modelling and dynamic simulation of business processes. It allows to model selected processes and simulate various proposed changes in processes in order to determine if these changes will improve the current situation. Logistic centres are one of the most important points of the logistic infrastructure, as they are usually supplied with different modes of transport. There are many logistic processes in logistic centres that need to be constantly monitored, analysed and improved. The logistic process of sorting consignments for further distribution is modelled and dynamically simulated using Witness Horizon Manufacturing Performance Edition software within this article. The aim of this paper is to improve the logistic process of consignments sorting using modelling and dynamic simulation.
