Early identification of bottlenecks in internal warehouse transport are an important aspect of warehouse planning and improvement. SCDA uses computer models to analyze internal traffic flow in warehouses, allowing for improvement of warehouse layouts and forklift traffic planning – quickly,…
Developing a digital computer model of shop floor job execution in a CNC job shop allows for de-risking, layout improvement, and improved production planning and execution in job shops. Here is how a discrete-evnet simulation tool and/or model can help…
A recent simulation study, conducted with a customized version of the SCDA warehouse simulator tool, compared and evaluated alternate forklift operational tactics and strategies. As reported separately the introduction of a fast vs slow mover storage-zoning concept reduced average forklift…
A warehouse receiving process simulation study was conducted for bottleneck detection and resolution, applying the SCDA pallet receival simulator. The simulation study modelled various warehouses with different pallet receival processes and directly impacted warehouse process adjustments, contract management, and capacity-related…
Dairy products are especially challenging when it comes to inventory management, production planning, warehousing, and distribution. One reason for this is the expiry date of products, and the need for cooling. A supply chain simulation app was developed and deployed…
