MODELLING OF MATERIAL FLOW SYSTEMS

Material flow systems are in generally very complex processes. During design, building and operation of complex systems there are many different problems. If these complex processes can be described in a simple model, the tasks will be clearer, better adaptable and easier solvable. As the material flow systems are very different, so using models is a very important aid to create uniform methods and solutions. This paper shows the details of the application possibilities of modelling in the material flow processes and systems. I give a short overview about the determination of the elements of the material flow processes, describe their relations and show an example for the application of modelling in the allocation design process of material handling objects.
