Abstract (EN): The organizational struck of the companies in the biomass energy sector, regarding the supply chain management, services, can be greatly improved through the use of software decision support. tools. These tools should be able to provide real-time alternative scenarios when deviations from the initial production plans are observed. To make this possible it is necessary to have representative production chain process models where several scenarios and solutions can be evaluated accurately. Due to its nature, this type of process is more adequately represented by means of event-based models. to particular, this work presents the modelling a typical biomass production chain using the computing platform SIMEVENTS. Throughout the article details about the conceptual model, as well as simulation results, are provided.
