Abstract:

Since most studies on logistics simulation have used commercial software, there has always been a limit in terms of customization and performance. In this research, a discrete-event simulation (DES) model, a program that is capable of evaluating logistics for shipyard layout changes, was developed. The DES model was substituted yard layouts with network models in order to model the complex factory layouts and road configurations of shipyards. An application that is capable of not only performing high-speed calculations on the frequency of road use, travel distance of transporters, travel distance of blocks, and workloads in stockyards and factories through simulation was developed, and given the ability to analyze productivity changes according to various layout configurations, production plans, product configurations and resource conditions.

1 Introduction

The biggest consideration when it comes to improving the factory layout is logistics. Unlike general machinery industries, in which the process flow is standardized once the product is decided, in shipyards, logistics indicators change due to factors such as ship composition, scheduling, and routing. Because of this, a methodology to evaluate layouts based on these various factors is required.
