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.
