Abstract
This paper presents the development and application of an advanced discrete event simulation model for logistics management of raw materials and final products of a cans packaging line used in an important brewery company. Advanced techniques for discrete event simulation are utilized to cover a wide range of methods and applications to emulate, advice and predict the behavior of complex real-world systems. The selected tool is SIMIO simulation software, which facilitates, through a modern 3D interface, the verification and validation of the model. Based on the proposed model, a what-if analysis is performed to determine the thresholds values of the current system and determine critical variables. The model analyzes the behavior of a future scenario which considers a significant increase in the packaging line production rate.
