Abstract
Background. Simulation has become an integral part of supply chain management. Oil companies use simulation tools from time to time when designing supply chains.
Aim. To provide examples of the possibility and effectiveness of using simulation in planning oil logistics. The article includes a theoretical analysis of the possibility of using simulation and practical review of the effectiveness of using simulation in solving logistic problems in the oil industry.
Methods. The research methodology represents an analysis of publication activity in Scopus, WoS.
Results. As a result, it is possible to achieve a solution to any problems related to building supply chains in the oil industry.
Conclusion. As a result of the study, it is possible to state that the modeling of logistics processes in the oil industry can be successfully implemented using simulation. This is confirmed by both theoretical studies and practical developments. The undoubted advantage of using simulation, in this case, is the ability to build a model in 3D, before actually investing in production factors (terminals, vehicles, etc.). At the same time, using simulation in solving problems in oil logistics is the exception rather than the rule. It is important to expand the scope and frequency of its application in order to save money and improve the quality of decision-making.
