A process for recommending a fleet of industrial vehicles comprises receiving, via a user interface, input variables concerning a warehouse configuration and operational variables concerning a fleet configuration. Instances of a warehouse model, an operations model, vehicle specifications, and workflow parameters are created where the workflow parameters are established workflow models derived from the warehouse configuration and vehicle specifications. A workflow model is simulated using kinematic models of the vehicles by defining a workflow model defining tasks of the industrial vehicles within an environment associated with performance of an operation, wherein the workflow model is based on the workflow parameters and associating the tasks with the kinematic models, which incorporate cutback curves. The kinematic model is applied to the workflow model based upon travel paths of the workflow model to determine results. A recommendation for vehicles of a vehicle type based on the simulation results is recommended.
