ANÁLISE DE UM SISTEMA DE CARREGAMENTO DE MADEIRAS COM AUXILIO DA SIMULAÇÃO COMPUTACIONAL: UM ESTUDO DE CASO ANALYSIS OF A TIMBER LOADING SYSTEM WITH AID OF COMPUTER SIMULATION: A CASE STUDY.

The subject and problem focused on this work aim to point out the critical points and suggestions for improvements to a platform logistics of inventory warehouses loads an enterprise of the wood industry. This work aims to analyze existing bottlenecks, appointed by computer simulation, and propose improvements in order to optimize the current situation of the company. The study is based on analysis of data collected in the company through, sampling, computer simulation tools and literature reviews. The use of a suitable methodology for logistics center can contribute to reduction in rows of truck cargo loading platform, as well as its professionals. It can be observed after analysis of computer simulation model, several bottlenecks in the system, assisting in the identification of the causes "in loco" and allowing proposals for improvements in the system used. We conclude that the proper use of the ARENA simulation program, will bring good meaningful and productive results compared to the methods still used in the company.
