Simulation Based Logistics Distribution Planning and Analysis for an Assembly Line of Engineering Machinery Products

Abstract:

This paper investigates the planning of the workshop logistics distribution system for an assembly line in an engineering machinery manufacturing company producing mainly concrete mixer trucks. The study covers mainly some methodologies in selecting appropriate logistics distribution mode, determining the distribution lot size and part-sets, and deciding the material packing method under some distribution batching rules. The simulation software QUEST is employed for carrying out some systematic simulation experiments and analysis, so as for finding an ideal logistics distribution scheme and improving the performance of the production logistics system.
