Fleet management in 3 logistics service provider

Abstract

The aim of this project is to provide a solution to the fleet sizing for the company Panopa Logistics Poland. It is achieved by doing an analysis and simulation of the activities that take part in the transportation process of products between the Panopa’s warehouse and the Volkswagen’s production line. With a representative sample of the commands served and its time schedule, it is possible to obtain the regressions for generating a random duration for all the activities in the process. With this, and taking into account the actual operation of the company, the research provides the solution with the minimum necessary fleet size for the correct running of the process. The model and the simulations are done with the ExtendSim V6 software, which allows creating models of a simplest reality, in this case as a discrete event. From this analysis the necessary size of the fleet is determined. A sensibility analysis is finally done in order to determinate the intervals in between the variables of the process should be to guarantee the correct motion of the process with the number of vehicles chosen from the first study
