SIMULATION TESTS OF FLEET VEHICLES PERIODIC INSPECTIONS TIMELINESS: A CASE STUDY

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study analyzed the case of a medium-sized workshop and the income from servicing individual customers. The management of the company observed some unused potential in the garage and plans to sign contracts with fleet customers for comprehensive maintenance of their vehicles. The key question was how many fleet vehicles could be additionally serviced without losing individual customers? In this work, a simulation model of a workshop was developed, treated as a system for queuing orders and vehicles. The model includes a subsystem of random generation of fleet vehicle mileage during the simulation. The idea of event-driven simulation and the Matlab/Simulink SimEvent environment library was used.
