Abstract

Ryder System, Inc. has created a flexible simulation model to be used as an engineering tool to validate automated warehouse designs, predict resource requirements, and determine operational throughput capacities for its E-channel operations. The model's flexible demand generation and operating parameters allow potential clients to quickly witness "what-if scenarios" of their specific operations. The data parameterization of common system attributes, and specific applications of the model will be presented. The benefits and limitations of template modeling will be discussed.
