dc.description.abstractThere has been a great deal of interest recently in using the simulation approach to analyse and optimize industrial systems. Applications of simulation techniques in the South African field are however limited and there is an urgent need for further work. This thesis provides industry an illustrative example of a simulation model of a chemical distribution system. It is concerned with the handling of raw materials and products at the African Explosives and Chemical Industries (AECI), situated in Somerset West. The model objectives were threefold; firstly, to establish the application of the simulation concept in the distribution field; secondly, to analyse the whole distribution system and to provide the factory with thorough details on its distribution performance; and finally, to identify any potential future strategies to minimize distribution cost.en_ZA
