“…The purpose is to find the optimal layout of said plant, minimizing travel routes, reducing disorder in the process and, in some cases, solving problems related to the design of the plant layout [17]. [12] planning of the design of the facilities, this is proposed under the Petri net models and simulated with Flexim software to, first, simulate the current situation of the company and then simulate the improvement with the SLP. In this simulation he managed to solve the problems: poorly distributed plant, inefficient logistics and the unbalance of the production line, which generated blockages and inactivity in the production flow.…”

Scientific research in services is limited and even more so when it comes to a financial services company. This research proposes a model using Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) and Standard Work (SW) with the objective of increasing the level of service, which in the company is low compared to the sector. This model applies a tool for the distribution of warehouses within an organization and another for the development of a correct flow of activities to reduce waste. The main problem identified was the high variation in the time of the pawn process due to the inadequate distribution of resources in the company. While the second problem is the reprocessing of attention due to operator errors during the pawn process. The identification of these problems was carried out through the analysis of company records, time studies and visits to the workplace, and activities that complement the analysis of the problems. The objective of this paper is to show how the identification of the problems was carried out with the existing bibliography and to propose a model that solves the problems.

“…Reference [12] proposed a decision-making solution based on data envelopment analysis for facility layout problems, with minimizing and maximizing standards as input and output variables respectively, and finally used VisFactory planning layout software for simulation to determine the feasibility of this method. References [13,14] improved the facility layout of the workshop through the use of a systematic layout design method and listed some feasible solutions. The effectiveness of this method in layout was further validated through simulation using Flexsim.…”

In response to the phenomenon of long transportation distances and high transportation costs due to the current workshop layout, this paper proposes a layout optimization scheme based on the System Layout Planning (SLP) method, which is verified for feasibility through Flexsim simulation. In the optimization process, focusing on the two important factors that affect the workshop layout, namely transportation distance and transportation cost, a qualitative solution is proposed using a real case study as the research scenario. The results show that the optimized layout scheme can significantly reduce transportation distance and transportation costs, when compared to the original layout scheme. This case study provides reference and inspiration for workshop layout optimization, and also provides guidance for ship equipment manufacturing enterprises to achieve efficient production processes and cost control.

“…To properly track containers and CHE in both layouts, we have adopted a simple rulebased strategy similar to [35][36][37] for both CHE assignment and its respective routing, where containers are assigned to the first closest available CHE; and, if no such CHE is available, the containers will be stalled until the required CHE is ready. Once assigned, the routing of CHE will be subsequently initiated.…”

Evaluating the long-term operational performance of a large-scale inland terminal: A discrete event simulation-based modeling approach

Inland terminals, or dry ports, have played an important role in multimodal transportation networks as transportation hubs that provide connections between seaports and hinterland economies. While important, evaluating the operational performance of a dry port is especially challenging since it depends not only on internal factors, such as the variety and number of container handling equipment (CHE) deployed, but also on other external factors, including changes in transportation policies and container demands experienced by a dry port. To properly evaluate the holistic performance of a dry port while considering all the aforementioned factors, a discrete event simulation (DES) framework is herein developed and applied to the Ladkrabang Inland Container Depot (LICD)—one of the largest dry ports in Southeast Asia—under various operational settings. Despite complicated internal operations, the devised DES framework has shown itself useful in the analyses of LICD, due largely to its flexibility that allows users to include sophisticated operational rules into models. According to our computational results, the current LICD operation is markedly ineffective as the usage rates of all CHE types are relatively low and varied across gate operators—especially the yard truck whose values range between 2.46% and 11.15% on yearly average. We also find that, by redesigning the LICD and its internal operations, the LICD’s performance could be substantially enhanced—even with fewer numbers of CHE. Regarding the four CHE types, the reach stacker seems to limit LICD’s capability, as its utilization tends to first reach the maximum allowable rate of 75%, while the rubber tyred gantry crane could help boost the usage rate of yard trucks, which, in turn, results in reduced container dwelling times. Nonetheless, the modified LICD could accommodate up to 140% of the current container demand before it experiences operational difficulties induced by the saturation of container flow from rail transportation.
