Summary:As a Simulation Engineer specializing in Warehouse Operations, you will drive operational excellence by developing and analyzing discrete event simulation models using tools like Simio, Flexsim, and Anylogic. Your work will focus on optimizing warehouse processes such as order picking, packing, shipping, receiving, and inventory management to address challenges like e-commerce demand surges, automation integration, and space constraints. By performing throughput analysis, bottleneck identification, and material flow optimization, you will deliver actionable insights to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
Roles & Responsibilities:

Design and develop discrete event simulation models for warehouse operations, including order fulfillment, inventory management, and material handling processes.

Analyze warehouse layouts, staffing levels, and equipment utilization to optimize throughput and minimize bottlenecks.

Conduct material flow analysis to streamline operations, reduce handling times, and optimize storage configurations.

Validate simulation models using real-world data from warehouse management systems (WMS) to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Integrate simulation models with WMS or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to align with operational workflows.

Document simulation methodologies, assumptions, and results in detailed reports for stakeholders.
