The general goal of waste management is to conserve resources and avoid negative environmental impacts. This paper deals with the optimization of logistics processes at an underground waste storage site by means of solving scheduling issues and reducing setup times, with the help of a simulation model. Specific to underground waste storage is the fact that it is often only a side business to actual mining. With limited capacity and resources, all legal requirements must be met, while the business should still be profitable. This paper discusses the improvement of a logistical system’s performance using machine scheduling approaches with the support of a plant simulation model. The process sequence is determined by means of a priority index. Genetic algorithms are then applied to improve the priority index to further increase performance. Results of the simulation model show that the performance of the logistics system can be increased by up to 400 percent, ensuring adequate system performance for current as well as future demand without changes to the system’s capacities and resources.

Efficiency And Effectiveness

Abstract The efficiency and effectiveness of the production system are influenced by the logistical arrangement of material flows. The smooth production, especially for assembly lines in the required quantity and at the required time (JIT or JIS systems), is currently ensured by automatically controlled towing sets (logistics trains), which consist of a tractor and several trucks. Another factor that affects the smooth production of assembly lines is the system of controlling the circulation of transport units. The number of transport units used in combination with the transport system significantly affects the efficiency of assembly workplaces. This article presents an analysis of the supply of assembly workplaces using a system of two shuttle boxes. The aim of this article is to investigate the influence of transport speed and capacity on the smoothness of the assembly process. Within the described analysis, the transport of 50,000 components is analyzed using a simulation model, while the length of the transport route is 32 km and 65 transport units per shift are used.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to develop a simulation model of internal product flow management processes of pharmacy networks. Methodology of research. The theoretical basis for building a system and dynamic model of flow control in the logistics system of the pharmacy network are scientific articles by domestic and foreign scientists on the problems of management of logistics and flow of pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy networks. The following research methods are used to achieve this goal: analysis and synthesis (in the study of the theoretical foundations of the formation of logistics systems of pharmacy networks); economic and mathematical modelling (to optimize the management of domestic commodity flows). Findings. A simulation system and dynamic model of product flow management of the logistics system of the pharmacy network in conditions of demand uncertainty has been developed, in particular: 1) the input variables and parameters of the commodity flow management model in the logistics system of the pharmacy network are studied, the limitations and conditions of its application are formed; 2) a system of difference equations of levels, rates and auxiliary variables of the model is developed. Originality. Scientific and methodological approach to the management of commodity flows of logistics systems of pharmacy networks in terms of random demand is improved on the basis of a simulation model of system dynamics. It includes a sub-model of commodity flows and a sub-model of accounting for logistics costs, the implementation of which within the mechanism of management of commodity flows of logistics systems of pharmacy networks allows to simplify the process of analysis and management of the pharmacy network management decisions of operational and tactical nature. Practical value. The results of the study can be applied in practical activities of pharmacy networks in order to increase the efficiency of formation and operation of their logistics systems. Key words: commodity flow management, logistics systems of pharmacy networks, optimization, modelling.
