Application of the Bloch-Schmigalla Method to Optimize the Organization of the Process of Repairing Unmanned Ground Vehicles

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to present the application of the Bloch-Schmigalla method in order to deploy work stations and create a military equipment repair model under field conditions. Proper allocation of repair stations is of crucial importance from the point of view of a given material's flow optimization. The aim of proper object allocation is such use of space that enables continuous, efficient and safe work. On the basis of numerical data, the advantages of using the Bloch-Schmigalla method for the optimal location of repair positions were presented. The proposal to optimize the organization of the repair process with using the Bloch-Schmigalla method entails multiple advantages e.g. decreasing the volume of transport activity size or time saving resulting from the rational arrangement of repair stations for unmanned ground vehicles.
