Improved stockyard management strategies for coal export terminals at Newcastle
Coal is Australia's leading export valued at close to A$50 billion and representing more than 20% of Australia's commodity exports in 2008 (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade). The Port of Newcastle is home to the world's largest coal export operation. In 2008, it achieved a throughput of around 92 million tonnes, or more than 10 per cent of the world's total trade in coal for t...
متن کاملSimulation Modeling and Optimization of Stockyard Layouts for Precast Concrete Products
Stockyard is a hob of information that reflects the production, stock and sales of precast concrete products. The stockyard layout plays an important role in storage and retrieval of the products. Stockyard layout planning offers a complex task as large number of products are involved with different handling and storage requirements, and large stock is inevitable due to seasonality of demand. T...
متن کاملSimulation Approach to Optimise Stockyard Layout: a Case Study in Precast Concrete Products Industry
The precast concrete products industry supplies 2,000 to 4,000 of different products to the construction industry. The demand for the products is seasonal. The industry builds up the stock in winter to meet the high demand in summer. As large numbers of products varying sizes and weights are involved, different handling and stacking requirements, the process of deciding appropriate locations to...
متن کاملAn Integrated Database for Real-time Management of Stockyard "stockman": a Case Study in Precast Concrete Products Industry
This project is a follow up from a stockyard layout planning research conducted by the authors where simulation approach has been used to establish the best stock layout for the efficient storage, loading and dispatch of precast concrete products. It was concluded from the research that a more robust real-time management system should be in place to implement stockyard layout plans and assist p...
متن کاملIntegration of Genetic Algorithms and Simulation for Stockyard Layout Planning
This paper describes the development of a process simulation model and integration of the Genetic Algorithms (GA) with the model as optimisation techniques using a case study of stockyard layout planning in precast concrete products industry. Genetic algorithms have been used for two purposes: firstly, to identify clusters of concrete products by analysing sales historical data such that freque...
