Abstract
This simulation is a versatile SIMSCRIPT program
designed to determine transportation destination
fluctuations caused by U.S. Naval vessel movements in
the San Francisco Bay area. The through-put model was
designed to investigate the relationship between the
annual number of delivery trips and the average
material delivery delay. Numerous parameters have
been taken into consideration in the generation of a
model that is as realistic as possible. Requirement
priority, item quantity, customer movement, ultimate
destination, and process time are the significant
random variables which have been assigned
probabilistic distributions. In view of the
simulation results, it would appear that actual
modification of the current shipping parameters may
yield substantial transportation savings.
