Abstract

The contemporary logistic systems are very complex and their control requires multidisciplinary range of expertise. Dynamic simulation is a tool allowing the decision maker to compare many possible scenarios and helps to find the optimal solution. It finds application in planning, designing, and optimization of production and logistic systems, including the allocation of material flows. Dynamic simulation represents the process of creating a mathematical and logical model of a system on a computer. Experimenting with the model enables user to discover logical connections among the processes and to evaluate the performance of many different structures in a relatively short time. Nowadays the market offers wide choice of simulation software. Part of the paper is devoted to describing the Witness simulation environment. Applications based on Witness dynamic simulation enable to configure optimal solution for material handling in warehouses and production plants. It leads to optimal utilization of resources and smooth material flow focused on customer, and so are satisfy his individual requirements.
