simulation and optimization for transport networks of supermarket chain in urban and rural
ABSTRACT
Logistics system is Associated and integral ,links in logistics system is mutual constraints.It is difficult to make decision or do analysis for a logistics system by operations research methods when we have to deal a large number of data. Simulation Technology creates a new way to do system research with the develop of Computer technology.
Supermarket chain in in urban and rural usually have a small stocks, different demand from supermarket in urban.It often use small quantities and Multi-batch distribution process and have a higher vehicle movement frequency. How to solve the unreasonable transit route and the vehicle use is the key to make this transport system optimization.Complex systems need to implement a large number of data processing, and simulation software is fit for such systems to deal with the problem.
Simulation and application research in thesis based on the construct of supermarket chain in in urban and rural, focused on the transport network system,simulation software Flexsim is used as a research tool, in order to explore the performance of the logistics system and find the bottleneck of the system ,at last we make optimization decision for the system.At the end of the paper I express my idea and opinion.
