Nondeterministic Factors in Simulation Models of Logistics Processes

A characteristic feature of many real logistics systems and processes is an influence on them of nondeterministic factors. It is necessary to take into consideration those factors within analyzing logistics processes using modeling and simulation methods. In the paper the problems of using nondeterministic elements and parameters in example logistics systems were introduced. The literature review was prepared and discussed. The concept of incorporating non-deterministic factors and data into models developed with selected discrete event oriented simulation package was presented.
