a utilização da simulação de sistemas em uma produção de pimenta-do-reino

Abstract

The present work was developed to project a black pepper industry and, thru system modeling simulation, estimate the productive capacity, in order to support the decision-making of a business group. The research began with the alignment of the group's expectations with the development of the work, based on that, the steps of the process were defined and later the process flow of the factory's processes was prepared in the format of a flowchart, with the objective of making the steps and the sequencing of steps. The process flow was used to create a computational model, on the FlexSim software. The purpose of the simulation was to evaluate hypotheses and test scenarios to evaluate the behavior of the system and collect information for decision making. Finally, the research conclusions and recommendations were made that are essential for the group to make the most assertive decision.
