Organizations are continuously trying to improve their competitiveness in several fields, which can be seen in the current context of the industry 4.0. The goods transportation inside and outside companies represents a significant fraction of the total costs. It is a transversal problem to most business organizations.
One of such problems is related to internal logistics, which is crucial for the performance of companies. In fact, an accurate and efficient internal logistics system is vital to ensure that the right materials are receipt on the right time and place and in the right quantities. This is a problem that comprises several thematic, such as intelligent transportations. Its advancements can result from electro-mechanical physical devices (e.g. AGV – Automated Guided Vehicles), or conceptual logistics systems, such as milk runs (mizusumashi) and Kanban systems. Intermediate warehouses often support supply chains.
Simulation is one of the techniques that are being applied in many situations in this fourth industrial revolution, addressing problems related to transportation of goods (or even people). It can also be complemented with optimization techniques.
