Modelo de simulação da logística das portarias de entrada e saída de veículos de abastecimento e escoamento de produtos da USIMINAS em Cubatão/SP

Abstract

A competitive market requires high quality products delivered on time. Aiming to acquire a larger share of the market, companies aspire to refine processes to improve productivity while retaining low costs. This work aims to advise improvements to logistic operational costs by reducing time spent by vehicles on site and out in delivery. Process simulation is commonly used in logistics to assist decision-makers in improving vehicle flows and layout changes. A computational model with animations and layout updates was designed to support proposals and provide insight to the company in future decisions. The consistencies of these datasets were confirmed by adherence tests. Both Kolgoromov-Smirkov and p-value tests were used to verify the effectiveness of the curve model functions related to the samples collected. The results obtained by the presented model were suitable and any advantages of each scenario were compared to the current state.
