Simulation Optimization for Analysis of Sustainable Logistics Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work analyzed different logistics structures under a sustainable perspective. It was developed a discrete event simulation model associated with optimization algorithm to evaluate the best combinations of the model. Besides, the comparison between the simulation optimization and a multicriteria method was performed. The simulation software Ururau, in which a model with optimization algorithm allowed testing different variables, was applied in order to find the best answer to the issue. Results showed that a connection of direct proportionality between variables of transport time, greenhouse gas emissions and lead time can happen. It was also checked that the solution returned by the simulation optimization was similar to the multicriteria method in most of the tests. The ones that differed were due to small mathematical precisions between the methods.
