Abstract

Nowadays, operations research is a useful tool in the process of design, execution and control of logistic systems; however, one of the most useful tools is simulation, which is an available technique for probtem solving. One of the first references to simulation goes back to the year 1940, when a scientist by the name of Ullman, appfied and designed the technique called "Montecarlo simulation". Simulation later began to grow through its application in NASA's aerospace design processes, among others, and at this moment simulation is used in diverse areas of the commercial, industrial, and military sectors, such as logistics, operation management, and lately in diverse military activities around the world, like the lraq war. This article presents a critical overview for those who are beginning to research simulation in logistical processes and are interested in using this tool to improve strategic, tactical, and operative level supply chains. lt defines  simulation applied to logistics, its main applications, classifications and development methodology, in order to introduce the reader to this kind of optimization processes.
