Simulation of DDMT's (Defense Depot Memphis Tennessee) Central Pack Area

Abstract

Defense Depot Memphis Tennessee (DDMT) has for a long period of time operated with packing areas in many parts of the depot. That concept has changed recently, and they are consolidating operations as much as possible to take advantage of the associated economies. In addition, the requirement to upgrade and add on equipment to support the introduction of the DLA Warehousing and Shipping Procedures (DWASP) presented the opportunity to effect the consolidation. This plan materialized in the form of the DDMT Central Pack design for less than truckload (LTL) packing and bin packing operations. The purpose of this study was to perform a computer simulation of the proposed design to determine if goal throughputs could be met and to make recommendations on system improvements and modifications. This report documents the results of the simulation effort. Keywords: Packing, Workload, Warehousing.
