Warehouse Simulation
|
Supply
chain Logistics Consulting Ltd use
leading warehouse simulation tools
exclusively focused on enabling design and decision-making
in this area of warehouse logistics.
It allows us to
design, re-design and test warehousing layouts through
simulation in a virtual computer environment. It also
enables us to assess product through-flow and the
organisation of people and equipment to quantify cost and
improve efficiency and service levels. It is the ideal risk
free environment to test ideas and 'what if?' scenarios.
The warehouse layout design simulation is made up from:-
- Building dimensions
- Customer Information:- volumes - orders - lines - pick
rates etc.....
- Work flow & process flow
-
Optimised pallet racking types &
placements
- Optimised fork-lift truck selection to give lowest
cost, highest flexibility MHE
 
We can design
any number of scenarios
to be investigated, it allows on-going testing of warehouse
layout design and operations to ensure they continue to achieve
their supply chain objectives.
Projects range from
the design and assessment of new-build warehouses to the
analysis of complex operations and the resources required to
ensure the optimum balance of cost, service and on-going
efficiency as changing supply chain demands dictate.

Key
Benefits
| |
Rapid design
solutions
We can create multiple
layouts quickly & easily, allowing us to test and
cost proposed racking, as well as MHE, within the
virtual warehouse space. Customised 3D objects help to
stimulate engaging presentations as well as to aid
understanding.

A risk-free
testing virtual environment
The simulation technology measures the
impact of product flow-through on resource utilisation,
service levels and task rates. It also assesses
automation and external traffic movement within a
computer environment, eliminating the risks associated
with trials in a live operation and therefore is the
ideal risk free environment to test 'what if?'
scenarios.

Reduction in
capital costs
By testing the widest
number of options before commissioning takes place,
we can find the solution delivering the best return
on investment and reduces implementation costs through
pinpointing the potential pitfalls prior to
commissioning.
|
| |
Improvements in
operational management
We can then use the models created as a test bed for
new operational ideas and the quantification of cost
benefits. This allows us to identify and focus on the key cost drivers, enabling
accurate objective setting from detailed performance
measurement. This includes a full assessment of the
impact of ‘peak loading’ on warehouse activities to
ensure optimum service levels year-round.
