Determination of warehouse performance using dynamic simulation
Original language description
This paper describes the effective use of dynamic simulation in warehouse performance determination. The proposed model for calculating warehouse performance and other indicators, such as the use of handling equipment or the time needed to process requests, is based on a general simulation model (Dyntar 2018, pp. 84-118) and is created in the Witness Horizon discrete dynamic simulation program. The resulting model is applied to the example of a specific sequential warehouse serviced by a group of system forklifts. The forklifts carry out the basic manipulations as storage of received pallets into storage positions, unloading and handling of empty pallets from sequential positions and handling of pallets from storage positions to sequential ones. The principle of the model consists in simulating the generation of requirements for storing a received pallet or exchanging an empty pallet for a full one and the processing of those requirements by a forklift. There are also other characteristics of warehouse processes which were taken into account when building the model, e.g. requirement of chaotic storing or fixed process steps. However, by changing the input parameters, it can be used for any other similar warehouse.
