A Warehouse Simulation on a Small Personal Computer

Abstract

This article describes a simulation project carried out for the parts operation of a large UK motor manufacturer. The parts operation (known here as Partcraft Ltd) handles parts for vehicles made by other manufacturers as well as those made by the parent company. Partcraft Ltd supplies the parts to vehicle operators, to factories and to independent companies servicing the vehicles. The parts are bought in from suppliers, these being the parent company, other motor manufacturers or third party suppliers.
