Improving Flow-Based Modeling of Enterprise Systems and Modeling of Custom Warehouse Systems in d3fact

Due to a restrictive design, current enterprise simulation software has shortcomings when it comes to modeling complex business processes and custom warehouse systems. Often, standard processes are altered to add desired functionality. Also, custom (often complex) warehouse components are created by merging readily available components. Typically, this customization has to be done programmatically, which usually results in error-prone and hard to maintain simulation models. In this paper we present a concept to improve the modeling of complex business processes and warehouse systems. Our flexible design allows the combination of business-processes without any programming. It even allows a process to control several information flows at once. This comes in handy when implementing custom warehouse systems.
