Uso de dinâmica de sistemas como suporte à decisão em propriedades produtoras de leite: um estudo de caso

The adequade management is the main factor of success in the milk production activity. In view of this, the objective of this paper was to develop a decision support tool based in system dynamics to be appled to this activity. To perform the simulations with the model they were used data from a representative milk production farm of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The results obtained with simulations showed coherence with settled previously analysis. The system dynamics showed also to be very helpful to get a better understanding of milk production systems and to perform strategic planning.System dynamics, Milk production, Strategic planning, Farm Management,
