Answers
Answer:
The term Material flow is the description of the transportation of raw materials, pre- fabricates, parts, components, integrated objects and final products as a flow of entities.
It can be a rather complex process as material flow requires several different specialized simulation tools have been developed for complex systems.
Answer:
Material flow is the description of the transportation of raw materials, pre-fabricates, parts, components, integrated objects and final products as a flow of entities. The term applies mainly to advanced modeling of supply chain management.
As industrial material flow can easily become very complex, several different specialized simulation tools have been developed for complex systems. Typical tools are:
AnyLogic
AutoMod for logistics systems
Plant Simulation for production system
