Abstract

The problem of analysis of functional and organizational structure of logistics warehouse
is considered in this article and a new technology for performing such analysis is offered. The
technology is based on simulation modeling. In detail this technology includes methods and tools for
development of simulation models, for creating problem-oriented services of the simulation modeling,
for intelligent management of computing in a distributed environment. The aim of research is to
develop and realize high-level methods and tools of formulating and solving non-traditional (for
conventionally used warehouse management systems) tasks using problem-oriented knowledge. The
example of methods and tools realization to automate the simulation modeling of the logistics
warehouse is presented here. Experiments results for some tasks of the simulation modeling of the
logistics warehouse are discussed.
