Modeling and Simulation for the Operation Process of Cold-Chain Logistics Distribution Center Based on Flexsim

Abstract

With people's increasing concern about food safety, cold-chain logistics distribution center (CCLDC) is playing an important role in preventing food going bad. Now CCLDC has the problems of too much transportation and complex distribution process etc. It is important to solve these problems in order to achieve efficient distribution. This paper firstly realizes the modeling and simulation for the operation process of a fruits and vegetables cold-chain logistics distribution center by using Flexsim software. Then the paper analyses the preliminary output data and finds out the bottleneck and idle resources. Finally this paper makes adjustments for simulation system.
