Simulation to support decision-making on project options in the refining sector of a battery company

This work aims to project the implementation of a new battery factory through a simulation project. The Project was carried out with the objective of minimizing risks and assisting in decision-making before the actual implementation of the factory. The methodology employed consists of three steps for model construction: conception (conceptual model), implementation (computational model), and analysis (operational model). The simulation carried out brought important KPIs for decision making, directing future costs for the company. Between the scenarios presented, scenarios numbered 20 and 21 obtained the highest score in total and presented an advantage over the others. By analyzing these factors, it is concluded that the best scenarios are those offering an optimized combination of their indicators and weights, which vary depending on the scenario adopted, will have its own characteristics and better performance in different areas, being outlined by the simulation
