Abstract

An important aspect of logistics supply systems in agro industries is to manage the processes of harvesting and transporting raw materials, from the rural fields to the processing plants. The truck waiting times in the various queues of the plant reception area are of particular concern. This paper applies discrete simulation techniques to study the reception area processes of a sugarcane plant, analyzing the performance of the system and investigating alternative configurations and policies for its operations. The analysis is also useful for other agro industries with similar supply systems, such as orange and wood industries.
