A computerised simulation model of the Distribution Centre of a sizeable clothing company is developed. This article reviews the model constructed, and the estimation of its parameters, introducing the simulation language SLAM II as a modelling framework. The flexibility of the computer model and its usefulness as a decision support tool, are highlighted
