Abstract

The paper considers simulation results for a supply network, that deals with Extra Virgin Olive (EVO) oil production, an activity that is typical of Southern Italy. The phenomenon is studied by differential equations, that focus on goods on arcs and queues for the exceeding goods. Different numerical schemes are used for simulations. A strategy of Situation Awareness allows defining a possible choice of the input flow to the supply network. The achieved results indicate that Situation Awareness permits to find good compromises for the modulation of production queues and the optimization of the overall system features.
