Simulação de um modelo padrão para terminais integradores de grãos

Abstract

Logistics companies, for better service delivery, strategically construct integrators grain terminals. These companies decide to focus on the integration of multimodal logistics believing that sell a complete logistics solution would be much more attractive to customers than having hands only part of the solution. The terminals in question exhibit a similaritybetween them because they have a scope and minimum engineering processes, which are necessary for operation of high productivity. Thus, the present work focuses on the operations of the tip of terrestrial loading a logistical process of exporting grain and, after leaving the grain terminal, they are still transported by rail, to the port terminal and from there follow by the marine mode until the recipient client. In this paper the simulation results of a multimodal terminal integrator will be presented, still in the design phase, for which only assumptions and parameters times and fees, as well as quantities of equipment shall be considered avoiding risks and provide technical damage due to deployment for example, poor location thereof. The results obtained allow a reflection on the importance of simulation in large companies seeking new investments in operating assets and plants. It is noteworthy that one of the key factors for better scaling integrator Terminal Railway would be the consideration of variables , such as the average weight of each wagon, since this type of variable directly impacts the quantity / capacity of the terminal equipment and consequently in its operation .
