Abstract
The efficient design of complex and effective industrial logistics systems will require the synergy between design engineer(s) and computers. The design engineers must be provided with a powerful, flexible, and intuitive modeling environment for all phases and aspects of the design. If such design environments are to be used successfully in practice, they must address and integrate the data base design and management, user interface, algorithmic, and technology transfer functions.This chapter reports on the development of an interdisciplinary methodology for building engineering workstations for the integrated design of industrial logistics systems. System requirements and design principles are derived, and implementation aspects are illustrated based on two prototype implementations for the modeling of manufacturing transportation and distribution systems.KeywordsLogistics SystemMaterial HandlingTransportation ChannelService GoalAutomate Guide Vehicle SystemThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
