Procedure for determining transport and warehousing systems characteristics in industrial enterprises in megapolis

Abstract

Abstract. The most common problem among a vast variety of design and performance management problems for the industrial enterprises supply chain networks is determining transport and storage processes' characteristics in the areas of high population density. The divergence of the logistic structure development in the area has a major influence on the choice of location for the warehouses and the characteristics of the corresponding material flows. This article addresses the issues of determining transport and warehousing systems characteristics in a major population center and its suburbs. In particular, this means the warehouse location and the delivery lot sizes. The article suggests a procedure for solving this problem based on a set of mathematical models using linear and non-linear optimization via the standard algorithms of common computer software like Microsoft Excel, Mathcad, MatLab, etc.

Sheet metal material resources management in lean production

“…Also, when the production volume of potential business MR of certain class is more than the volume of potential demand on the class, then from the point of view of storage optimization it is necessary to decide at what production stage, in what quantity, with what frequency it is economically advisable to sort the sheet metal MR into the group of business MR. The relevance of these questions is confirmed by many studies, for example [15].…”
