Abstract
A software package intended to aid planners in the evaluation, planning, and scheduling of steel unit placement within the confines of the yard is described. The Floor Space Simulator/Allocator system, or FSS/A, will allow the planner to structure the steel requirements from the unit level to six levels of subassemblies and components, and will simulate the time oriented placement of those units within a defined spacial area. Suitable provisions will he available for the planner to study pre-outfit requirements and alternative construction approaches, all within the realm of a real-time simulation. This paper will present a discussion of the space scheduling problem, an overview of the ESS/A system, an assessment of simulation versus the actual yard, an evaluation of the benefits to be derived by the yard, and a general description of the planner's use of the system to solve the space ordering of steel units.
