碩士 === 東海大學 === 食品科學系 === 84 === This study describes the transportation efficiency and warehouse utilizationof a tobacco and wine distribution center by using SLAM II network simulation modeling. Due to the complexity of the transportation problem of the distribution center, several FORTRAN based user defined function was developed to build the network that represents the possible truck scheduling rules of the control center. The model was validated by detailed inspection of it''s performance, comparison with previous results, and the observation of particular phenomena.A number of investigations were conducted in order to determine the significance of the interactions between variables on management operating decisions. In particular, one goal was to demonstrate the observed phenomena where the system can be cut down the number of trucks and without affecting thelevel of meeting market requirement. The results of these simulations are presented and their implications are discussed.
