Abstract :
After being consecrated as an important technology for decision making concerning strategic issues, simulation is increasingly applied towards tactical and operational issues. This paper shows an interesting and innovative use of simulation at Votorantim Cimentos, where logistics planning must consider distribution and manufacturing integration and constraints in order to make weekly decisions to achieve better results.
