The paper presents both an intelligent approach to better management of pedestrian flows by means of a mobile application and a simulation model to asses this approach. The proposed concept is supposed to be used at heritage sites, which are overloaded by tourists, and which have a number of potential attractions within a walking distance. The proposed approach assumes to use data of a number of visitors...
Response surface-based simulation metamodelling procedure is presented. It is aided by a computer generated experimental designs, automatic control of simulation experiments and sequential optimisation of the metamodels fitted to a simulation response surface function. The metamodelling procedure is applied to optimisation of a shop-floor production level.
The order picking process – the retrieval of products from specified locations according to customer orders – is the most laborious and costly process in a warehouse. It consumes almost 60% of all warehouse labour activities. Various routing methods can lead to significant improvements. This chapter analyses the influence of routing methods on picker travel distance in a wide-aisle warehouse. In order...
This case study concerns support for customised solving of a production planning and scheduling problem in the piece-part medium-sized manufacturing company. To make the best use of an advanced scheduling tool and to find an optimal configuration of its rules and parameters, modular simulation models of the entire business/production process and production anodising stage are developed. Planning scenarios...
This case study analyses different simulation-based optimisation methods of multi-echelon supply chain planning in the maturity phase of the product life cycle. Some standard optimisation software add-ons as well as the proposed model in the case study are used to solve the problem. A supply chain generic network is employed as an application system. Several optimisation scenarios are introduced in...
Simulation-based Case Studies in Logistics presents an intensive learning course on the application of simulation as a decision support tool to tackle complex logistic problems. The book describes and illustrates different approaches to developing simulation models at the right abstraction level to be used efficiently by engineers when dealing with strategic, tactical or operational decisions in...
The paper presents the state-of-the-art in flood forecasting and simulation applied to a river flood analysis and risk prediction. Different water flow forecasting and river simulation models and systems are analysed. An advanced river flood monitoring, modelling and forecasting approach is introduced. It extends the traditional approach based on modelling river physical processes by integration of...
The paper presents main results received within the project 'Integrated Intelligent Platform for Monitoring the Cross-Border Natural-Technological systems' (INFROM) in the area of integrated monitoring of complex systems, which contain natural, technological and social elements, based on heterogeneous data received from space and ground-based information sources. An integrated conceptual framework...
This paper discusses simulation of the vehicle schedule with time windows. The simulation model is developed in AnyLogic simulation environment. A short overview of AnyLogic structure and scope is provided. A detailed description of a conceptual model with focus on input and output data is given. The structure of the simulation model and operation of its main blocks are described. Each vehicle is...
One of the most important simulation applications is the comparison of alternatives. Possible decisions, operating procedures, system designs can be compared through simulation experiments before implementing them in the real life. Stochastic simulation leads to variance of the estimated difference between systems performance measures. The goal of simulation experiments is to obtain point and interval...
The ECLIPS project 'Extended collaborative integrated life cycle supply chain planning system' is introduced. The discussed project scope focuses on development of concepts and technologies in the domain of supply chain planning and managing at the product maturity phase. The concerned concepts and technologies are based on integrating analytical and simulation techniques in multi-echelon cyclic planning...
