Modeling and analysis of aggregate production operations

摘要: This paper presents a special purpose simulation tool developed for the aggregate processing industry called CRUISER. Special tools offer an alternative to general simulators, which are generally difficult use by construction practitioners. CRUISER is based on visual object-oriented environment that facilitates process of creating models and experimenting with them. The two main production processes modeled (1) size reduction through crushing; (2) separation screening. underlying combination equipment manufacturing specifications, empirical data, flow analysis, stochastic analysis. system was tested number plant configurations being implemented at organizations.
