Site map (Guide) for "TCalc (TCalc)," a logistics simulation software using EIQ analysis.

1. Overview and Objectives of "TCalc" Software

This software aims to calculate the optimal scale and layout of distribution centers from vast amounts of shipping data.

• As a Learning Tool: It is positioned not just as calculation software, but as a tool to learn the procedures for determining warehouse area from logistics data.

• Distribution: Currently used as a prototype in universities, it is planned to be released as Freeware upon completion.

• Core Methodology: Unlike traditional ABC analysis, it is based on EIQ Analysis (Entry, Item, Quantity).

2. Site Structure (Learning & Calculation Steps)

The logistics design process is organized into the following chapters based on the site map:

Chapters 1 to 3: Fundamentals and Data Analysis

• Chapter 1: Software overview, installation, and terms of use.

• Chapter 2 (TCalc 0): Workflow for processing shipping data.

• Chapter 3 (TCalc 1): EIQ matrix calculation, equipment assignment, and inventory/arrival calculation.

Chapters 4 to 6: Detailed Design and Simulation

• Chapter 4 (TCalc 2): Distribution center scale calculation (Inventory estimation, space estimation, building/site area calculation).

• Chapter 5 (TCalc 3): Utility software group. Truck trajectory, forklift aisle width, packing volume calculation, etc.

• Chapter 6: Space calculation for specific logistics equipment (AS/RS, fixed racks, sorters, inspection/packing, etc.).

Supplementary Content

• Preliminary Knowledge: Logistics basics and the difference between traditional ABC analysis and TCalc.

• MP4 Menu: Video content (MP4 format) showing operation methods and step-by-step instructions.
