Aspects of modeling the main production processes of wood enterprises

Abstract

Abstract This article describes the main production processes at forest industry enterprises. The container has free space for the process of goods delivery, which enables customs inspection with partial unloading of goods. This enables to have enough time to inspect the container. It is believed that the costs associated with carriers are increasing. The ratio of free and occupied space when loading a container is not obvious. Two approaches to process modeling have been considered. The methods and algorithms for transport processes simulating have been presented. A solution to the problems of optimal container loading during customs control has been proposed. A simulation model of roundwood transportation across the borders has been implemented, which enables to determine the optimal loading volume of containers in order to minimize the time for customs clearance. The proposed option of partial loading reduces the time of customs inspection, which significantly reduces the costs associated with transportation of timber products, as well as the risk of customer refusal from the products delivered out of schedule.
