    Aircraft manufacturing presents significant challenges for logistics departments due to the complexity of processes and technology, as well as the high variety of parts that must be handled. To support the development and optimization of these complex logistics processes in the aviation industry, simulation is commonly employed. However, existing simulation models are typically tailored to specific use cases. Reusing or adapting these models for other aircraft-specific applications often requires substantial implementation and validation efforts. As a result, there is a need for flexible and easily adaptable simulation models. This work aims to address this challenge by developing a modular library for logistics processes in aircraft manufacturing. The outcome of this work highlights the simplifications introduced by the developed library and its application in a real aviation warehouse.

    High volumes, short buffer times and many other players influence the maritime transport chain and intraport container transport. Congestion at logistics hubs leads to inefficient processes, increased waiting times, costs and emissions. Truck appointment systems are designed to reduce congestion by offering trucking companies time slots for delivering or collecting containers. However, these systems lack flexibility, which limits utilization and reduces efficiency. The study aims to develop strategies to evaluate and improve these systems in a simulation study. The results show that medium-length time slots improve the situation for transparent processes, or long time slots for limited transparency. Overbooking and open access are mutually exclusive, but offer slight advantages individually. Adjustments to opening hours of other nodes show little benefit. Overall, flexibility options positively influence the ratio of load trips and waiting times.
