Abstract :
The paper describes the application of discrete everit simulation to study continuous material flow. Logistics is an integrated part of most manufacturing companies. The purpose of the study is to determine the required logistics operations to allow continuous operations of a chemical manufacturing plant. The application has been used to provide critical decision support
