What is Warehouse Simulation?
Study of the proposed warehouse to check if it is capable of meeting the desired dispatch levels.
Objectives
- Determine if proposed warehouse is capable of meeting desired dispatch levels
- Identify and alleviate bottlenecks(if any) before facility becomes operational
- Provide recommendations in the following sub-systems to meet target:
- Receiving & Storage
- Picking, Packing & Shipping
How
Study I – Warehouse Capacity Study
- Deliverables:
Storage capacity needed to support desired dispatch levels. - Determine capacity at which warehouse sub-systems(Receiving/Packing/Shipping) must function so that desired dispatch levels are achieved.
Study II – Warehouse Material Handling Study
Deliverables:
1. Bottlenecks (if any) due to material flow traffic
2. Recommendations to alleviate bottlenecks
- Re-routing of material flow
- Layout changes to minimize congestion
3. Material Handling Equipment(MHE) Requirement
Study III – In-Plant Truck Traffic Study
Deliverables:
1. Bottlenecks(if any) due to in-plant traffic in processing desired volume of trucks
2. Recommendations to alleviate bottlenecks
Benefits:
Captures system complexity effectively
- The cumulative effect of losses due to downtime, rejections can be difficult to quantify by mathematical calculations
- Analysis by simulation(used in this project) can capture this accurately
Test different ideas
- The study helps compare the performance of different plans (Eg. Layout A vs Layout B)
Reduce risk
- Minimize corrective actions to be taken after facility becomes operational
- Thus, it is cost effective
Fact-based
- The study provides lot of data to describe performance of the system
- This can be leveraged to take informed decisions regarding plant productivity
Visualization
- To better understand bottleneck(s) present in the facility
