Abstract |
System dynamics is an appropriate tool to build management models due to its ease of application in solving
unstructured problems. In the twenty-first century the sustainability of organizations is influenced by the way it
manages its knowledge. In this sense, knowledge management (KM) represents a strategy that contributes to
improving the production supply chain (SC) of the agri-food industry (AFI). The objective of this research is to
develop a computer model to simulate the effect of KM on the production of AFI. The methodology applied was
the dynamic system by using the Vensim PLE ® v. 5.10 software, whose determining indicators were selected
through an empirical study of KM in the SC of precooked corn flour industry in Venezuela. The study concluded
that the balanced implementation of KM practices in the strategic dimension and in the functional dimension
achieved an increase in production through the stabilization of the system. Further evaluation of the methodology
developed in other agro-industrial environments is recommended.
