The flow of material simulation is a simulation in connection with logistic systems. She applies when production and assembly assembling, in camps, conveyor plants, workshops, distribution centers, airports et cetera.

Simulation in planning

New production plants are examined with the help of a simulation model for throughput, sufficient dimensionings, turn-around times, power limits, influences of noise, personnel requirements and for other planning parameters. Besides different alternatives can be evaluated and compared with one another.

Existing plants are illustrated in the actual condition and optimized by purposeful modifications within the model. So the employment of another control strategy can e.g. lead to a higher throughput.

Simulation in the realization

The simulation model serves the control programmers as collecting main for the production of the plant control. A faster, error-poor start-up is the result. A coupling of the central administrative computer (dispositive control computer) with the simulation model makes a start-up possible before the employment in the plant. The starting behavior can be played to the end in different scenarios. That is important straight if start-up is accomplished during the current enterprise and a smooth transition to the new plant is demanded.

Simulation during the enterprise

The foresighted test of the daily schedule of a plant informs about necessary supply of personnel and operational funds, over order turn-around times and over extent of utilization to the plant. The optimization of the order sequence in the apron of the Tagesbetriebs can be verified with the help of the simulation model.
