Description
Dynamic simulation is used frequently in manufacturing situations but rarely in distribution. Learn how The Gap used dynamic simulation to rapidly assess, select, and implement e-commerce distribution center (DC) improvements. Presenters will share details about the development of the simulation model; validation of the model against actual DC conditions and key performance indicators (KPIs); and approaches to quantify use cases, options, and different scenarios such as velocity profiling, slotting, pick paths, order batching, and more. Attendees will get practical insights into how to use this powerful, advanced tool to improve operating performance in a real world setting.
