Abstract
Product transportation and storage in steel works are modeled in order to evaluate both facility specification and transportation rules. Discrete-event simulation and mathematical optimization are carried out, using a probability distribution which is determined by analysis of actual operating data. The model utilizes a combined network and discrete-event approach written in SLAM II simulation language. Simulation results show that the proper configuration of facilities and suitable transportation rules contribute to the carriage efficiency and lead to the great reduction of transportation cost in steel works.
