Warehouse receiving process simulation

A warehouse receiving process simulation study was conducted for bottleneck detection and resolution, applying the SCDA pallet receival simulator. The simulation study modelled various warehouses with different pallet receival processes and directly impacted warehouse process adjustments, contract management, and capacity-related…

Simulation for yogurt supply chain optimization

Dairy products are especially challenging when it comes to inventory management, production planning, warehousing, and distribution. One reason for this is the expiry date of products, and the need for cooling. A supply chain simulation app was developed and deployed…

Injection molding factory simulator reduces logistics costs

A factory cost simulator was developed for an injection molding factory. The production was characterized by high setup costs and times in the injection molding process. Another process characteristic was the centralized inspection area for final product inspection. The factory…

Simulation tools for SCM, warehousing, and production

This blog post povides a rough list of simulation tools for SCM, i.e. a list of software used in warehouse design, supply chain management, distribution and transport network design, and manufacturing process and factory simulation. This blog post seeks to…

Supply chain simulation software list

In this blog post I list and briefly describe 38 software solutions that can be used for supply chain simulation. Some of the software solutions listed here are primarily meant for factory or general process simulation but can be applied…
