GWSS - a generalized warehouse simulator system

摘要

A generalized warehouse simulator system (GWSS) was constructed to facilitate the construction and operation of simulation models of complex warehouse systems by design engineers and operating managers. This paper presents the structure of the generalized model and the techniques used to provide extreme versatility in the warehousing system that can be modeled. The use of the generalized model is explained and its application in the construction and exercising of a simulation model for a large complex warehouse system is illustrated by an example.
