Modelling a biomass supply chain through discrete-event simulation
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
The organizational structure of the companies in the biomass energy sector,
regarding the supply chain management services, can be greatly improved through the use
of software decision support tools. These tools should be able to provide real-time alternative
scenarios when deviations from the initial production plans are observed. To make this possible it
is necessary to have representative production chain process models where several scenarios and
solutions can be evaluated accurately. Due to its nature, this type of process is more adequately
represented by means of event-based models. In particular, this work presents the modelling of
a typical biomass production chain using the computing platform SIMEVENTS. Throughout
the article details about the conceptual model, as well as simulation results, are provided
