Application of computer simulation for the study of supply chain managerial actions of medium-ized enterprises in the apparel cluster of Pernambuco

This work represents an effort to model the internal dynamics of a manufacturing cluster’s supply chain strategy by computational means, through an agent-based modelling (ABM). As a case study, we have selected an apparel-manufacturing cluster in Pernambuco, Brazil. The cluster’s supply chain strate...

FACEPE Este trabalho representa um esforço para modelar a dinâmica interna da estratégia da cadeia de suprimentos de um arranjo produtivo de manufatura através de uma modelagem computacional baseada no agente. Como estudo de caso, foi selecionado o Arranjo Produtivo Local de Confecções do Agreste de Pernambuco, Brasil. A estratégia da cadeia de suprimentos das empresas do arranjo foi primeiro expressa em forma de sistema conceitual de avaliação e reformulação, do escopo teórico do Conceptual System Assessment and Reformulation (CSAR). Os elementos chave representados na simulação são os agentes, cada um deles figurando como um gerente de cadeia de suprimentos de uma empresa de médio porte do Arranjo Produtivo Local. A técnica de Aprendizado de Máquina foi utilizada para guiar o desenvolvimento destes agentes, limitando-se por dados reais colhidos sobre o arranjo produtivo. Portanto, o sistema resultante permite a observação do relacionamento dos componentes do arranjo, como a diferença entre a implementação do modelo e seu esquema conceitual, a forma como as variáveis afetam o processo de decisão dos agentes, o grau de relevância da percepção da fatia de mercado de uma empresa na alocação de recursos, quais ações devem ser executadas por diferentes perfis gerenciais, entre outros. Esta abordagem é relevante devido não apenas à possibilidade de fornecer uma análise de sensibilidade dos fatores impactantes em relação à gestão de cadeia de suprimentos para empresas de médio porte, mas, também, por permitir modificações e confirmações ad hoc de proposições teóricas, como o próprio modelo CSAR, em ambientes simulados. 2020-09-14T14:57:18Z 2020-09-14T14:57:18Z 2020-03-13 masterThesis FERRAZ SEGUNDO, Dallas Walber.
