Abstract

Purpose

Develop a simulation model, reflecting the processing of commodity flow aviation spare. Use a simulation model to assess organizational measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the warehouse.

Design/methodology/approach

System analysis, statistical analysis and forecasting, simulation modeling, software engineering, technology of business process modeling, decision theory, planning theory of computational experiment.

Findings

The simulation model is implemented using the capabilities of the conceptual paradigm of System Dynamics in the operating environment software package Anylogic. System Dynamics approach was chosen, because it is rather adapted for modeling large-scale systems. System Dynamics approach allows to investigate the properties and structure of the system at a high level of abstraction, not modeling the whole set parameters of the system, but approach can quickly evaluate the work of the system. Simulation model models the flow of goods movement through all three stages of warehouse processing: stage I the acceptance; stage II sorting and placement; stage III completion and shipment. Simulation model consists of ten patterns, each of which implements the processing of flow of goods at one of the stages of warehouse processing. Each of the patterns is a graphical diagram causal relationships and global influence of some parameters on the other parameters over time. For each graphic diagram AnyLogic software environment automatically generates a system of differential equations, then the global system. Global system of differential equations is solved automatically by a given numerical method when running the simulation model for execution. In the simulations with the simulation model the balanced amount of human resources needed to ensure the processing of cargo traffic a given intensity in operating areas of the warehouse are calculated.

Research limitations/implications

Using the simulation model a number of practical problems for analysis and re-engineering processes of logistics companies has been solved.

Originality/value

The perspective technology modeling and analysis of business process management product flow aviation spare parts warehouse based simulation was presented. Simulation model can be used as an independent software module, as well as the software component of the complex simulation models.
