Abstract
This paper presents an innovative parametric decision model designed by applying 3D Discrete Events Simulation (DES) concepts and customized to be applicable in offshore wind turbine foundations manufacturing plant. The high penalties applicable per day in case of delay in the fulfillment of any Load-Out milestones and the limited space available in the shipyard justify the use of this kind of 3D and parametric decision tool. This tool uses as a restriction the available internal logistic resources and buffers spaces, taking into account the high penalties defined by the customer in case of break the Load-Out milestones in order to achieve the best internal logistic strategy.
