Abstract

The object of this study is the process of formation of insurance reserves at enterprises in the metallurgical industry. Under conditions of uneven supply of raw materials to metallurgical enterprises due to disruption of the transportation process or other reasons, there is a need to create insurance stocks in order to ensure the continuity of production. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account existing restrictions, such as the limited capacity of railroad sections and the impossibility of organizing parallel movement of trains, etc. The presence of these limitations makes it impossible to use classical methods for solving similar problems, such as linear programming. Therefore, to resolve the task, a simulation model was built, based on the discrete-event principle in the AnyLogic University Researcher environment using Oracle libraries and the Java SE compiler. With the help of the model, the process of rotation of dispatch routes at the railroad yard with multiple suppliers and one consignee was formalized. The optimization criterion was chosen to be the minimum deviations of fluctuations in reserves of iron ore concentrate and coke. Analysis of the simulation results revealed that the optimal size of the fleet of railroad routes on the selected rotation polygon is 30 units; at the same time, their utilization rate will be 65 %. It was also established that fluctuations in raw material stocks have a «natural character», which is confirmed by the normal distribution of the density of stock volumes. Under these conditions, the value of fluctuations in the volumes of the main raw materials will be ±13115 t/day for iron ore concentrate, and ±5298 t/day for coke. Reducing the range of fluctuation of raw materials volumes could make it possible to optimize the costs of creating stocks and streamline the transport work of the enterprise for providing raw materials
