Abstract: |
To provide efficient and
flexible material transport, inplant milk-run systems are used by many companies. However, the
large number of influencing factors makes in-plant milk-run systems complex,
while dependencies and blockages, e.g. overtaking or stopping, require a dynamic
approach to examination. Thus we developed a generic simulation model
focusing on traffic situations in in-plant road systems, and defined meaningful
performance figures, e.g. capacity efficiency and cycle time. The application
to a system of industrial practice enabled us to derive recommendations for
planning inplant milk-run systems. Space for
overtaking, the number of trains passing or supplying a stop as well as the
directions a stop is approached from were found to be
main influencing factors. |
