  • Why is palm oil industry important in Colombia?
  • Palm oil industry is an important agricultural activity in Colombia. Agents of this industry have chosen associative strategies and vertical integrations to increase their efficiency.
  • How to optimize planning decisions in the Colombian oil palm supply chain?
  • This article presents a mathematical model to optimize the planning decisions in the Colombian oil palm supply chain (SC). The optimization model consists of a mixed integer linear formulation, aiming at maximizing the expected net present value of the entire SC, including electricity supplied to the national grid by this activity.
  • Can a simulation model predict operative changes in the palm oil supply chain?
  • This paper describes a simulation model used to analyze the current state and scenarios in the palm oil supply chain. Thus, the verified and validated model had been used to estimate the impact of operative changes in the waiting time for vehicles.
  • Can A MINLP model be used for palm oil production?
  • Later, developed a MINLP model for planning harvesting and product extraction in the oil palm supply chain at tactical and operational level. Additionally, some authors have used simulation techniques to evaluate palm oil refining process and biodiesel production process from crude palm oil [26, 27, 28].
  • What is the oil palm value chain in Colombia?
  • In Colombia, the oil palm value chain is made up of service and input providers (seeds and seedlings, agrochemicals, services, credits), palm growers, palm oil extractors, palm oil refiners, marketers of final products, and consumers (national and international) Mosquera Montoya and López Alfonso (2017).
  • Can a palm oil mill reduce waiting time without a major investment?
  • The most important finding is that the decrease in waiting time can be reached without a major investment. Due to the similarity between palm oil mills located in the department of Magdalena, this simulation model can be applied to other companies to evaluate improvement alternatives.
