The construction capacity planning onshore storage tank for product X using discrete event simulation at PT Pelindo.

The problems faced by the world at this time are due to the growth of the human population which is not matched by the availability of energy, causing a deficit in energy production. The solution to the problem is the use of product X which is one of the alternative energies derived from oil and gas processing. Therefore, special attention is needed for product X found in Indonesia. PT Pelindo is a company that has duties and functions in managing product X to meet energy needs in Indonesia. As time goes by, there is an increase in the population in Indonesia, which is followed by the need for product X which has increased. The increasing demand for product X was also followed by problems that occurred at PT Pelindo both external and internal. Problems In external problems, there are fluctuations in the demand for product X, the arrival of supply for product X & local regulations regarding the use of product X, while for the company's internal problems, namely losses, time of each process, operational problem, stock resistance and even wanting to expand PT Pelindo business. So PT. Pelindo wants to plan the storage tank capacity of product X to meet the increase and fluctuation of product X in 2023. At the stage of planning the ideal capacity to meet the demand for product X by considering the arrival time of product X, losses, stock resistance and problems that occur that can interfere with operational activities. Therefore, from the planning the discrete event simulation method was used to determine the ideal capacity of the storage tank construction for product X. So from the analysis based on calculations using the Arena simulation method, the ideal capacity was 50,000 m3 with 5 storage tanks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
