Abstract

We present, in this paper, a simulation model to evaluate the sugarcane supply system to mills. The model addressed, on the whole, harvest operations (cutting and shipping), transportation and unloading at the mill (also considering the reception system of sugarcane within the mill). The model could adequately assess the relation of the freight, the lead time, the fleet of trucks and discount (opposite of agio), apart from the cost of cutting and shipping, related to the amount to be paid by the sugarcane load furnished to the mill.
