Users are enabled to model and simulate several outfitting processes and basic logistic activities using
the included STS simulation framework. All STS components are interlocked. They simulate work steps
and additional activities to perform the construction work (König, Beißert, and Bargstädt 2007a).
To integrate detailed logistic activities for construction sites a logistic control component is developed.
The new component for logistic characteristics manages all logistic activities in interaction with the
other components for the construction process. It considers site, material and logistic strategies and organizational
structure. During the simulation the relevant data are recorded in order to analyze the effects of
several logistic network alternatives. All logistic activities are automatically started by the logistic control
component. The generation of rearrangement activities is exemplarily shown in Figure 2 (Bargstädt,
2010).
