Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper first summarises a survey of logistics and production planning engineers in the automotive industry on the use of simulation models to solve planning tasks in logistics and production conducted by the authors. As a solution for the analysed trade-off between a required quick provision of simulation results and a tolerable inaccuracy of the simulation results, the authors describe and evaluate the application of mesoscopic discrete-rate-based simulation models for two typical production and logistics planning tasks in the automotive industry. In terms of level of detail, mesoscopic simulation models fall between object-based discrete-event simulation models and flow-based continuous simulation models. Mesoscopic models mainly represent logistics flow processes on an aggregated level through piecewise-constant flow rates by applying the discrete-rate simulation paradigm instead of modelling individual flow objects. This leads to fast model building and computation.

期刊介绍:
Journal of Simulation (JOS) aims to publish both articles and technical notes from researchers and practitioners active in the field of simulation. In JOS, the field of simulation includes the techniques, tools, methods and technologies of the application and the use of discrete-event simulation, agent-based modelling and system dynamics.
