Study of integrated design processing methods of surge links in loose logistics transportation system

Abstract

The logistics transportation system with surge links is widely used in mines, power plants, material yards; and etc. Bin capacity size in surge links has great influence on reliability and production efficiency of whole logistics transportation system. By utilizing some existing outcomes, this paper selects three-parameter Weibull distribution which can reflect general case and has wide application as the tool to present a new integrated design processing methods. Compared with existed references, presented method fully considers different influences of surge bin capacity on reliability and production efficiency of whole system and can realize cost and benefit overall optimization. The presented method can offer the reference for capacity optimization design of surge bin in loose material logistics transportation system. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
