eM-Plant於物流中心模擬模式應用之研究

Abstract

近幾年物流中心作業隨著生產與銷售特性之改變而愈受重視，企業亦藉由本身物流作業效率之提昇，達成創造更佳利潤效果，然而物流中心屬於資本密集的投資，所以除了嚴謹的規劃與管理以外，尚須要分析物流中心作業之工具，因此透過eM-Plant軟體建立企業物流中心模擬模式分析相關問題成為一種方法。 但利用eM-Plant軟體構建模擬模式時，又會面臨eM-Plant軟體如何應用於物流中心之問題，因此本研究考慮物流中心之分析問題及eM-Plant應用之支援程度等因素，提供如何應用eM-Plant軟體於物流中心之技巧，再將eM-Plant於物流中心應用加以分類，並發展各種類應用之構建技巧。 其中支援程度分為使用現有物件、使用Method物件及結合其他軟體等三種程度，而分析問題分為作業分析、空間配置及營運管理等三類問題，各種類構建技巧包含：(1)模式說明技巧；(2)階層架構技巧；(3)結合其他軟體；(4)物件選擇技巧；(5)屬性設定技巧;(6)加入Method物件技巧；(7)產出資料收集技巧。透過以上技巧應用在構建範例及個案探討，本研究發現可以更迅速的建立階層架構、選擇物件、設定屬性、撰寫語法及收集資料等，且未來可以作為營運者使用eM-Plant構建物流中心模擬模式時之參考及輔助工具。

In the past few years, a change in production and sales characteristics has lead to an increasing importance of distribution centers (D.C.) . Corporations have also obtained improving profit by more effective logistics. Due to the fact that D.C. belong to sunk cost investment, strict management and design for analyzing D.C. operations are very much in need. The eM-Plant software is one of the many methods to creating a simulation model analysis of D.C. . The use of eM-Plant software lead to the problem of application to D.C. . This study provides the skills required to successfully apply the eM-Plant to D.C. . The paper put into account factors such as the analytical problems of D.C. and the degree of support provided by eM-Plant application. By the study able to categorize types of eM-Plant applications, and then derive skills for simulation. Degree of application is divided into use of existing objects, use of method objects, and combined use with other software. Analysis of problem is divided into operation analysis, layout, and management. Through the application of the above provided skills and the case study of simulation models, the study discovered a rapid method for creating hierarchical structure, choosing object, setting attribution, write program language, and data collection. The results of this study can be used as a reference tool for manager in the use of eM-Plant D.C. simulation model.
