Abstract

Abstract: Iron and steel complexes prefer a new molten iron logistics technology which involves cranes and cross-train AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicle) for transportation. The key concern of decision-makers is how to evaluate the safety and performance of the logistics design. For using simulation, it needs to solve the multi-scenario what-if simulation problems caused by uncertain processing time and crane yielding. An object-oriented simulation design method and finite state automata based modeling techniques were introduced. A multi-scenario simulation procedure was introduced. The proposed techniques can improve the flexibility, configurability and reusability of the simulation system effectively.

Key words: molten iron logistics, molten iron transport, logistics simulation, discrete event simulation, object oriented simulation modeling, multi-scenario what-if simulation
