Peiner Träger GmbH uses simulation for optimization of scrap logistics
Peiner Träger GmbH, a subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, can look back on more than 140 years of tradition in steel production. Peiner Träger GmbH supplies a comprehensive range of support and support profiles for the construction industry manufactured on state-of-the-art systems. Within the framework of efficiency measures, Peiner Träger GmbH hoped to achieve cost savings in scrap logistics using simulation.
Assignment
- optimization of rail logistics for scrap delivery to a steel mill
- saving cars by reducing the number of “rolling” stocks
- determination of savings potential by combining scrap types
Goals
- determination of effort drivers
- securing concepts for cost reduction
- stock dimensioning in the tracks
- reduction of cycle times
Functionality (software: plant simulation)
- illustration of the railway infrastructure
- activity profiles of the marshalling team
- compilation of activities through activity units
- disposition of scrap cars to sources
- import and export of Scenarios
Results/ benefits
- assessment of different working time models on holdings
- visualization of effort drivers
- optimization of disposition an marshalling rules
