Title: Simulating Operational Change In Distribution

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of computer simulation techniques to distribution operations in the United Kingdom. Two particular examples have been used to illustrate the methods. In the first, the district surrounding Aberdeen in the Scottish region of British Gas was analysed to determine whether service laying teams should be supplied with individual team vehicles. In the second, the implications of working to a new operational procedure - the so called Model Agreement - have been assessed. These examples may provide interesting points of comparison with the American experience in distribution operations. The results of these studies have helped to identify mobility levels for service laying teams in British Gas, and will assist in the definition of special vehicle requirements over the next decade.
