Organization and Planning of Vehicle Utilization in a Chemical Firm

Research output: Contributions to collected editions/worksChapterpeer-review

Authors

Within the framework of production planning the internal transport of goods, i. e. the transport between various locations within a work’s grounds, is attributed an auxiliary function which is becoming increasingly important on account of the growing spatial expansion of firms and because the production schedule is otherwise planned down to the last detail. In the forefront of these reflections is the task of planning the utilization of vehicles, in accordance with which — the transport demand and the number of available vehicles supposed as given — all orders must always be carried out efficiently. In order to efficiently accomplish all orders they should be carried out in such a way that all the routes and travel times are kept to a minimum and so that individual operations of the production process are not hindered by unpunctual execution.
