Im produzierenden Gewerbe stellen Materialflusssimulationsstudien ein hilfreiches Werkzeug für die Entscheidungsfindung in der Planung, Umsetzung und im Betrieb von Produktionssystemen dar. Während der Entwicklung der zugehörigen Simulationsmodelle treten oft Anforderungsänderungen auf. Im Bereich der Softwareentwicklung werden sogenannte agile Met...
There is an underutilization and reduced life cycle of the wood used in the Brazilian conventional construction system, made of masonry, and cast in place reinforced concrete. As it is not the main material that characterizes the construction technique, the literature discusses its consumption profile, which presents a lack of data. Thus, this rese...

Die Dimensionierung heterogener Transportsysteme ist aufgrund fehlender vergleichender Ansätze eine schwierige Planungsaufgabe, die mit Unsicherheiten und suboptimalen Lösungen verbunden ist. Die hohe Komplexität solcher Systeme lässt sich außerdem analytisch nicht abbilden. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen simulationsbasierten Ansatz vor, welcher für d...

Die Optimierung der Auftragsterminierung und Einsteuerungsreihenfolge hat großen Einfluss auf die Produktivität von Fertigungssystemen. Genetische Algorithmen und Simulation sind verbreitete Werkzeuge zur Optimierung. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt einen neuen Ansatz zur Optimierung durch einen genetischen Algorithmus und der Simulation in dynamischen M...
Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method that utilizes the gravity-induced material flow for ore extraction. The granular flowbehavior is one of the main phenomena describing this mining method’s efficiency; therefore, a good understanding of the flow behavior is essential.The knowledge of the material flow behavior evolved in the late ...
The international trade sector is projected to undergo a significant shift in the next years, with transparency and trust being the most pressing concerns to be resolved as part of the Industry 4.0 revolution (PwC, 2019). International trade consists of several complex process involving several intermediaries (actors). Due to the complexity in inte...
“Building a Fair Transition” strives for a fair circular built environment in the Dutch province of South Holland. By 2040 South Holland aims to have built 210.000 new dwellings to meet the rapidly growing housing demand. This transition in the built environment should align with current climate agreements and be as energy neutral as possible. To m...

The problem of coordination of material and financial flows at defense enterprises in the production and delivery of the required volume of defense products in due time is considered. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the need to reconcile certain contradictions in the flow processes at enterprises and to develop a model o...
Swapfiets’ product service system (PSS) offers bicycles as a service: customers pay a monthly fee to get a Swapfiets bicycle and whenever something is wrong with the bicycle, Swapfiets makes sure the bicycle is repaired or replaced with a working bicycle.
Two of Swapfiets’ longer term challenges form the subjects of this research: 1) What can Swapf...
