PT Journal AU Bohács, G Rinkács, A TI Development of a novel material flow simulation model for the integration of spatial and process relevant information SO Logistics Journal : Not Reviewed PY 2016 VL 2016 IS 04 DI 10.2195/lj_NotRev_bohacs_en_201604_01 DE adaptive modelling; production logistics; simulation AB Simulation techniques are almost indispensable in the analysis of complex systems. Materials- and related information flow processes in logistics often possess such complexity. Further problem arise as the processes change over time and pose a Big Data problem as well. To cope with these issues adaptive simulations are more and more frequently used. This paper presents a few relevant advanced simulation models and intro-duces a novel model structure, which unifies modelling of geometrical relations and time processes. This way the process structure and their geometric relations can be handled in a well understandable and transparent way. Capabilities and applicability of the model is also presented via a demonstrational example. ER
