Research of Workshop Logistics Planning and Simulation Based on Quest

The technology of digital factory logistics simulation can not only effectively reduce the uncertainty from the design and planning step to the real shop floor implementation,but also provide reasonable solutions to support continuous improvement process.This paper starts with a compound method,which is combined with process analysis and mathematical calculation to deal with issues such as the distribution mode,the numbers of vehicles and its utilization,as well as the buffer station planning and so on.Then the simulation software Quest has been used to find the optimal logistics solutions.This simulation study offers effective guides to the factory production planning practice for lowering the total cost reasonably and scientifically.
