RMCSIM: A simulation model of a ready‐mixed concrete plant serving multiple sites using multiple truckmixers

摘要: A simulation computer program named RMCSIM has been developed to simulate a whole day of activities for concrete plant with N mixing bays, M truckmixers (with two different capacities: 5 m3 and 7 m3) serving S sites, where sites are at variable distances D from the quantities Q required by in which placing methods used. It is based on set data reported earlier another paper (Anson et al., 2002). An optimal number particular day's order size can be found results simulations. The volume that truckmixer carries any one about 27 m3 Hong Kong situations. also bay always provides better services than plant. mix combinations 7 m3 fleet have no significant effect concreting service performance. Lastly, it deduced causes unsatisfactor...
