Haul truck simulation for mining industry

Discrete-event simulation offers numerous benefits for haul truck simulations. It provides a realistic representation of real-world scenarios, incorporating factors like traffic, loading/unloading, and route variability. This flexibility allows for the testing of different scenarios, leading to optimized trucking operations and…

Truck haulage simulation animation in Python

In this article I will share a discrete-event simulation animation example in Python. More specifically a truck haul transport simulation animation for a mine, using SimPy and DesViz in Python. This example, and the DesViz module, was developed by Prof.…

Emulation and simulation in SCM

This article aims to elucidate the distinctions between emulation and simulation, two essential concepts in the fields of computer science, engineering, and various other domains. Emulation and simulation are often used interchangeably, but they represent distinct approaches to replicating real-world…

Production levelling for improved planning

Production levelling helps in smoothing customer demand out over time, and aims at proposing a feasible and steady production schedule and plan. This helps production planning departments and production control in smoothing out peaks and reduces the risk of backlogs,…

Simulation in meat processing supply chains

In this article I explain meat processing supply chain characteristics and its main challenges. Referring to my poultry meat industry supply chain simulation framework in Python I point out common simulation applications in meat processing industry. Meat processing supply chains…
