OPTIMIZACIÓN DE COSTES LOGÍSTICOS EN LA RECOLECCIÓN DEL MAÍZ FORRAJERO MEDIANTE SIMULACIÓN DE EVENTOS DISCRETOS

Abstract

The overall goal of this paper is to simulate the silage harvest system in order to performing the strategic planning at the beginning of the harvest season, and in daily decision making, in order to determine the right combination of resources according to fields to harvest. In order to provide a real example of the usefulness for strategic planning by the tool developed, the harvesting of several fields of corn will be simulated. The model obtained has made it possible to determine the impact that the combination of equipment has on the costs and on the length of the harvest season for each of the harvesters analysed. The SPFH occupation has been analysed distinguishing between activity, waiting and travelling times. The sensitivity of the system to the variation of each type of equipment used has been determined.
