Decision Support for Gasoline Tanker Logistics with BPsim.DSS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes deployment experience of a decision support system for planning fuel supplies within a network of gas stations, which is based on simulation, multi -agent and expert modeling. Authors focus on various methods used in decision support system BPsim.DSS. Mainly the system is used by logistical management and planning departments. The system implement such features as forecasting next day fuel sales, searching for effective fuel supply plan, planning trips for each fuel tanker. Simulation model estimates fuel sales. Planning is implemented in BPsim.MSN on the basis of logical output visual machine, based on UML diagrams and T-SQL language scripts. Testing results prove effectiveness of decisions: sales volume can be increased by optimizing usage of fuel tankers. Keywords-agents; decision support systems; logistics

Design of 7×24 logistics system for hazardous materials (case study: distribution of gasoline)
The transportation of hazardous materials such as gasoline has unique features due to the nature of these type of materials and the importance role of these material in human life. Therefore, determining the routing of these materials is more challengeable than non-hazardous one due to more dangerous and risky condition besides the transportation costs. Since the distribution of gasoline take p...

The use of third-party logistics (3PL) providers is regarded as new strategy in logistics management. The relationships by considering 3PL are sometimes more complicated than any classical logistics supplier relationships. These relationships have taken into account as a well-known way to highlight organizations' flexibilities to regard rapidly uncertain market conditions, follow core competenc...
متن کاملDecision Support System Based on Cargo Sensor Information for Liquid Carrier Tanker
− In this paper we constructed the Decision Support System (DSS) for liquid cargo tankers based on the International Ship Management Code (ISM Code). To make this system, we first organized a base of expert knowledge concerning liquid tanker operations that largely affect ocean accidents. Based on this expert knowledge, we constructed the decision support system that provides a code of conduct ...
