Abstract

This study focuses on the simulation modeling of warehousing operations commonly seen at general merchandize distribution centers. The key processes and their structural and behavioral characteristics were identified and analyzed. Robust representations and patterns were developed to represent the elements and logic of the simulation models for these processes to facilitate efficient and effective construction of the models. The issues of conceptual modeling such as synthesis, abstraction and specialization were also discussed.
