| dc.description.abstract | Nissan Rosslyn manufactures some Nissan models that are available in South Africa. They have identified a capacity problem in one of their part warehouses. The Excel based simulation model was constructed to be used as a decision tool in the evaluation of the specific warehouse as well as future analysis of different warehouses. The model’s goal is to evaluate the parts flow of the warehouse in detail and identify problem areas. Different warehouse configurations are simulated in an attempt to find better alternatives. In this report the model is described, a few scenarios are simulated and future applications are investigated. The result of choosing a better alternative is a reduction in capacity problems and an overall more efficient warehouse. | en_US |
