An Object-Oriented Logistics over the Shore Simulation: An Aid in Throughput Estimation

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA274904 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This thesis documents the design, validation, and demonstration of a simulation model for the instream offload of vehicles from a Roll OnRoll Off ship. The model is an object-oriented, discrete event simulation written in MODSIM II. The objective is to design and demonstrate a model that can accurately estimate throughput times for the total offload of a vessel instream using various mixes of lighterage. With this tool, Logistics Over The Shore LOTS planners will be better able to estimate throughput and possibly tailor their mix of lighterage to a given set of fixed parameters
