The simulation challenge
Network simulation:
• Have the ability to model our network
• Supporting business decisions• Capital investment planning
• What’s made where
• Storage requirements
• Inventory policy review
• Benefits cases
• Centre of gravity analysis
• Capacity planning
Having agreed the network solution a more detailed analysis is required by location.
Skyfall – Leeds New High Speed PET line
• New high speed PET production line optimised at 36K bottles per hour
• New finished goods warehouse
• New loading bays to support increased inbound materials and outbound loads
• New trailer park
• Line capable of producing 1litre to 3 litre packs
• Line started Monday 9th November
What were the questions?• Vehicle movements around the site
• Gatehouse throughput
• Trailer parking – how many?
• Loading bays – how many?
• Internal warehouse movements • Number of FLT’s required
• Traffic volumes – key pinch points
• Warehouse flows

Gatehouse
Key learnings• Vehicle movements around the site
• Gatehouse throughput
• Site could work, however we have designed the trailer park to enable easier access
• Trailer parking how many?
• 30-35 trailer parking spaces, this is to ensure we cover off weekend pre loading
• Loading bays – how many?
• 6 loading bays would work
• Internal warehouse movements • Number of FLT’s required
• Confirmed the number FLT’s in each area
• Traffic volumes – key pinch points
• Key H&S risk points identified, 1 way system put in place
• Warehouse flows
• Automation flows started to be considered
Beginning to see the output from the modelling…
One way system out into the loading bayTraffic flows in to the warehouse

Warehouse starting to take shape Loading bays – nearly ready for use
Simulation key points / next steps :Key learnings :• Great way to bring changes to life
• Key to gain buy in from the sites – ensure you can model the “as is”
• Be clear on the questions you are seeking to solve –• Good guidance from Lanner, as we wanted answers to questions that didn’t exist!!!
Next steps : • Further enhancement of the Leeds model
• Refine the modelling as we understand the operation post go live
• 2nd new line announced
• Further automation
• Development of models for other sites – further investment at Rugby site
Any questions?
