LOGISTIC CENTER’S SIMULATION MODELING

The activities of logistic business, specialized in cargo transportation by trucks, were considered in the article. A simulation modelling of some processes occurring in a cargo delivery strategy using an intermediate cargo handling point was carried out. A discrete-events model was designed in AnyLogic Personal Learning Edition version 8.7 that assumes the simulated system's representation as a process, that is, an operations' sequence performed on agents. A truck unloading stage simulation model was designed, which includes vehicles' arrival process, vehicles' unloading process, cargo's moving process to the warehouse and subsequent vehicles' departure from the warehouse center's territory. This made it possible to select the optimal parameters and characteristics, describing the warehouse's activities. This simulation model's design is a preliminary stage of modeling the prefabricated order formation processes and its loading and the warehouse activity's entire model.
