Modelling a biomass supply chain through discrete-event simulation∗∗This work was supported by the FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia through the PhD Studentship SFRH/BD/98032/2013, program POPH - Programa Operacional Potencial Humano and FSE - Fundo Social Europeu.

Abstract The organizational structure of the companies in the biomass energy sector, regarding the supply chain management services, can be greatly improved through the use of software decision support tools. These tools should be able to provide real-time alternative scenarios when deviations from the initial production plans are observed. To make this possible it is necessary to have representative production chain process models where several scenarios and solutions can be evaluated accurately. Due to its nature, this type of process is more adequately represented by means of event-based models. In particular, this work presents the modelling of a typical biomass production chain using the computing platform SIMEVENTS. Throughout the article details about the conceptual model, as well as simulation results, are provided.
