The present study aims to use discrete event simulation to evaluate scenarios and propose improvements in the batch formation process for the marine shipment of an oil product. Scenarios with changes in three variables will be simulated in order to observe the impact on annual production: storage capacity of the refinery, production flow rate and size of the shipment batch. The process is critical because of the fact that production is interrupted due to the lack of space for product storage, the intermodal transportation through the echelons in the chain, the loading window for the road modal and the existence of uncertainties and restrictions inherent to production, handling, storage and transportation operations. The study led to the conclusion that shipping a smaller batch results in a higher annual production, which is a strategy that does not involve any changes in processes or infrastructure. Other factors that contributed to the increase in annual production were the addition of a tank at the refinery and the increase in production flow rate. The analyzes conducted in the study are important inputs for decision making regarding the management of refinery and supply chain inventory. The simulation technique allowed the analysis of several scenarios without the need to implement them and is, therefore, an effective tool with great added value to the study and practice of the organization
