Otimização da operação de transporte e carregamento de matéria-prima através de simulação de eventos discretos

Abstract

The aim of this final project is to study the application of event simulation techniques to optimize logistics processes. Logistics, as an essential component of various supply chains, faces growing challenges in terms of efficiency, cost and responsiveness to market demands. In this context, event simulation has emerged as a fundamental tool for modeling, analyzing and proposing improvements in complex logistics systems, enabling more informed and strategic decision- making. The methodology adopted involves building a computer model that is representative of a specific logistics process, allowing different scenarios and operational strategies to be analyzed. The study evaluates metrics such as material loading and transportation times, resource utilization, transportation and storage operating costs and service rates, identifying bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. The aim is to demonstrate how event simulation can reduce waste, increase efficiency and improve the flexibility of operations.
