When a new logistic node (e.g. a terminal) is planned or needs to be optimized, layout planning and simulation analysis … are typically two separate tasks. While layout planning is an intuitive and visual but static approach, simulation is … strategies, the layout is converted directly into an executable simulation model. Based on the simulation, e.g. different layout …

Purpose: This paper provides an overview of analytical optimization models and simulation-based approaches coping with … simulation and optimization are identified and an integrated approach is outlined. Findings: Sustainable supply chain design … simplify the simulation model and reduce the necessary configurations to verify the robustness. Originality: Current approaches …
