Argentine Association of Business Logistics (ARLOG) awarded to the Universidad Argentina de la Empresa (UADE) the ARLOG 2008 award for a project they did in conjunction with GL&A Consultants. The team developed a discrete stochastic simulator for freight trains carrying cereals, oils, and other products to the ports of Bahía Blanca and Rosario from producing areas in Argentina to improve the logistical capacity of the company. The operation of the entire system is very complex it models a multitude of locomotives in constant motion to move several thousand wagons for the rail network, subject to mechanical, climatic, and human contingencies.
The prestigious ARLOG award is granted biennially to projects that deepen and promote the development, innovation, and professionalization of logistics management.
