Study Notes
Material Flow in Batch Plant
- Two stocks involved: inventory of unmixed materials and inventory of mixed materials
System Dynamics in Supply Chain Management
- Two main components:
- Physical structure: includes the physical components of the supply chain, such as factories, warehouses, and transportation systems
- Decision-making structure: includes the decisions and policies that govern the operation of the supply chain, such as ordering and inventory management policies
Unloading in Supply Chain Management
- Outflow is determined by the unloading rate, which is the rate at which materials are unloaded from the storage facilities
Truck Mixer Cycling
- Outflow is determined by the cycling rate, which is the rate at which truck mixers return to the batch plant to be reloaded
Hauling in Supply Chain Management
- Examples of determinants for outflow include:
- Hauling capacity: the maximum amount of material that can be hauled by a vehicle
- Hauling rate: the rate at which material is hauled from the batch plant to the construction site
- Travel time: the time it takes for a vehicle to travel from the batch plant to the construction site and back
