Abstract

This paper describes the results in the area of modeling and simulation of the milk-run systems in assembly plants. We propose a hybrid solution in order to show how the simulation and optimization can be combined to make such systems more efficient. The paper describes the preliminary results of the research that will be developed in the future.
