User's Manual and Analysis Procedures for the Material Handling Equipment Simulation Models.

Abstract

The three computer simulation models described in this user's manual simulate the use of material handling equipment (MHE) at three distinct types of U.S. Navy installations (Main Supply, Ship Overhaul, and Weapons Supply). Input consists of data describing operational characteristics of the MHE, materials delivery for cargo arrivals, and issue document specifications. Model output is composed of computer generated data describing MHE utilization and throughput data which tabulates the movement of cargo within this system as a function of time. The model output is designed to assist an analyst in the determination of specific MHE utilization requirements for any given U.S. Navy installation. An analysis of sample simulation run results is also included in this report. Keywords: Pallets; Forklifts; Cranes; Sideloaders; Straddle trucks.
