Queuing Petri net modelling and simulation of logistic activities for operational decisions

International Journal of Business Performance and Supply Chain Modelling, 2012, vol. 4, issue 1, 16-39

Abstract: This paper considers the modelling challenge when we want to integrate both processes/activities approach and resources, i.e., an organisational point of view coupled with the physical plan that it uses. Processes and activities are performance driven and resources are capacity-limited and subject to stochastic events. The model uses queuing Petri nets and synchronised stochastic Petri nets formalisms and enables performance queuing measures depending on resources configurations. A manufacturing textile unit is presented as example and simulation results are discussed concerning the modelling interest.
