Equipment sizing of a material handling system using discrete event simulation
[chapter]
2005
Application of Computers and Operations Research in the Mineral Industry
When designing a new material handling system or looking at modifying an existing system there is always that nagging doubt in the back of your mind until you actually run material through, "is it sized properly?" Simulation programs allow you to model the system and find the oversized and undersized areas before you build them. This paper presents the use of discrete event simulation for equipment sizing. The conventional approach to sizing equipment for a material handling system has used
