Complexity and dynamic processese in distribution logistics

Standard modules increase efficiency

With shortening realization periods of logistics projects, simulation contributes to planning security and with that to the success of a project. The key factor for the effective application of simulation is quick and qualified modelling.

To ensure this, SimPlan consistently uses building block libraries and reference models, which include all conventional logistics elements and strategies used in this field of application.

Additional tools support efficient modelling, as well as running and evaluating experiments. Database connections to collect planning, result and online data during the project are of course included, as are informative visualisations using 2D and 3D animation.

The consistent and largely tool-independent information management also contributes to the high clarity of the results. Already in a very early project phase, simulation runs show the influence of systems situated up- and downstream, like production, assembly, etc., on the overall system.

Using a modular structure, the simulation model can be quickly adapted to the latest planning state and therefore can play a vital role in the design and development of the logistics System.
