dc.description.abstract |
Products flowing through the supply chain to warehouses is a necessary evil: although there
is no value addition to the product, warehousing is inevitable due to market volatility and
uncertainty. Therefore, customized value propositions have been introduced to the
warehouse which has led to changes in its role. In such conditions, performance of the
warehouse is critical for customer value creation, be it in terms of cost, speed or accuracy.
Therefore, the need to improve the warehouse operation is significant. This paper is an
attempt to use Arena simulation package to describe a simulation model of a warehouse
operation process for receiving and issuing goods. The aim of this study is to find warehouse
design decisions that optimize the performance of an operation considering different process
options, in relation to given input parameters. Six different strategies are simulated to
evaluate feasibility in relation to overall cost and service levels. The simulation is done for
a set of input parameters considering changes in design variables. Results show the total
cost, resource and time required for each option in a predictable manner. Moreover, it
provides a tool to understand system behaviours by carrying out ‘‘what-if’’ assessments and
to identify which factors can be changed to optimize operations. Therefore the purposes of
this study are to 1) identify the input, decision and response parameters of the warehouse
process, 2) derive values for each based on time and activity based study, 3) develop a
simulation model to support systematic decision making through “what-if” analysis, 4)
conclude on the optimal processes based on input parameters, and 5) provide
recommendations and future study opportunities to expand the paper. |
