The methodology for the logistics system simulation model design

Abstract

The present paper describes the methodology of the simulation model design applied in the analysis and parameter optimization of the large scale logistics system (LS) in metallurgy. The first part of the papers describes the method and steps of the simulation model design. The second part describes the analysis of the really complicated logistics system. Differences in large scale simulation model design are mainly in the obtaining of the data for individual elements model. Each element inside of LS has very complicated structure of the operations (blast furnaces, raw material stores, transport between mine and metallurgy). For the data obtaining have to perform detail analysis and research this individual elements.
