A simulation model of a fertilizer plant has been made. It includes activities from production to despatch, from the plant site. Input to the model is daily demand which comes to the plant as despatch instructions. The model includes provision for internal generation of realistic daily demand. Output gives the state of the system at any desired interval of time. Simulation reports can be used by managers for planning logistics and other operational aspects at the plant site. SLAM II has been used for modelling.
