Abstract
Activated carbon has multiple uses both to meet industrial needs as domestic. This grow in the demand has allowed Colombian industry to look for organic sources for obtaining it. Tecsol has advanced more than 20 years of research on this field. Today, they want to turn their pilot plant used in research projects to turn it into an industrial plant. This requires ensuring the supply of organic material such as using ovens at maximum capacity. As this is a new system, it should estimate the sales potential and then determine the best logistics parameters. The developed model uses continuous simulation based on the Forrester model. The industrial dynamical model determines a trade-off between different manufacturing resources and its impact on financial results. Its implementation in IThink can respond to many different questions about the main logistic components changing over time.
