This case study involves the development of model(s) for analyzing a warehouse that supports an e-commerce site for computer video cards used for advanced video processes and for AI and crypto currency applications. The facility handles three types of cards (A, B, and C) and Simio Warehouse orders the unpackaged cards in bulk-pack containers from three different suppliers. The warehouse has a packaging line that is used to test and package the video cards prior to fulfilling orders. The figure below shows an example video card along with its packaging and an example bulk-pack container.
The case study assignment is to develop a Simio model of the warehouse operations and to use the model to help determine some of the parameters for the operating strategy along with the number of people required for the pick and pack operation.
