Abstract
This paper presents the optimal design and analysis method of the train overhaul maintenance facility based on the simulation. Because the train is composed of a coach or more, we design the simulation model after analyzing the operation of train into train, coach, coach's body parts and wheel parts and soon. In simulation analysis, we consider the critical (dependent) factors and design (independent) parameters for the selection of alternatives and optimal design. Therefore, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is proposed for the selection of alternatives and optimal method in order to find the optimal design factors. The case study for the above approach is used for the electronic locomotive overhaul maintenance facility. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for the train overhaul maintenance facility design using the simulation, MCDM and optimal methods. Therefore, the method developed for this research can be adopted for other enhancements in different but comparable situation.
