Abstract

This research sought to reduce the high costs and inefficiencies at a logistic level in the land transport of goods. To achieve this, the data obtained by the technological tools used by a company in four logistic zones were initially taken, determining a discrete simulation model with the critical variables of the problem with promodel (statfit): loading time, travel time and time of Download The results showed that the simulation reduces the total time in land transport by up to 29,66%. The simulation model allows effective and efficient decisions to be made at the logistics level, when programming the delivery routes and the distribution of the goods.
