Abstract: |
The
field of logistics is confronted with an increasing complexity. This mainly
results from the immense amount of goods which are
part of logistics systems and processes. To address that the description of
logistics systems and processes is to be conducted from an object-oriented
point of view by including object characteristics and their relations among
each other. Therefore, in context of mesoscopic
modeling and simulation, this paper presents a procedure which supports the
conceptual modeling phase of the mesoscopic
simulation approach in grouping and aggregation of logistics objects, i.e.
goods and products, in an effective and credible way. This is considered as a
method of simplification and will contribute to better model credibility and
simulation efficiency as well as reducing model complexity. To demonstrate functionality
and effectiveness of the proposed concept the grouping procedure is applied
to a modeling and simulation task of a global supply chain. |
