Abstract :
Using order processing system simulation can help the analysis and realization of workflow management, scheduling and decision of distribution center and the optimization of system configuration; it can also judge whether the system can meet its quick-response design requirements and examine the practicability of system indicators. By using Extend module, this paper established a dynamic model of distribution center workflow order processing system and probe into the processes and strategies of order processing, then find out the optimal order processing solution to meet the quick-response requirements of distribution center workflow.
