Abstract Details

2005, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Industrial Engineering.
Simulation is a very powerful and flexible tool in the design and analysis of many different types of systems. Discrete-event simulation is commonly used tool in warehousing and manufacturing industry. Although it is a very powerful and flexible means for designing and analyzing many different types of systems, without a systematic approach, it can be inefficient, expensive, and even misleading. However, a close examination of the steps one has to take through real-life applications shows that a common methodology can be used to successfully utilize simulation in all application areas. This project presents a simulation model for the warehouse operations. The warehouse operations comprising an AGV system is simulated for a random environment. The randomness is created in the system due to varying demand and the service time. ARENA 7.0 is used to develop a discrete simulation model. The significance of the study is to interpret this simulation technique that will enable the management to make better decisions.
