چکیده

Logistics, transportation and distribution engineering can be divided into internal or in-plant logistics and external manufacturing or distribution logistics. The Internal or in-plant logistics includes the material handling systems and storage systems and the external manufacturing or distribution logistics includes the transportation modes such as trains and trucks. Both must be integrated into the overall operations using a systems approach that minimizes costs at a competitive level of service. For example, plant layout and production planning must consider internal logistics. The design decisions are made in the early phases of product design and development will have a significant effect over future manufacturing and logistical activities. In this paper, a methodology is developed and presented for decomposition of the logistics design process to analyze the effectiveness of the system and minimize design cycle time of any manufacturing firms including their suppliers.

Design for Logistics in Set-based Concurrent Engineering Environment

Design for Logistics (DFL) and Set-based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) are two conventionally separated methodologies for product design. The former intends to design products by taking into consideration the logistics system that the product needs to fit in, whereas the latter explores a set of design alternatives to converge on a final specification for both product and processes. Within the ...
