As environmental sustainability gains importance, enhancing supply chains to minimize hazards is essential, particularly in industries using residual biomass. This study tackles this by investigating the integration of criteria into chain optimization for a biomass energy company Portugal, combination simulation modeling through anyLogistix software (version: 2.15.3.202209061204) and multi-criteria decision-making. Four scenarios were designed simulated, differing their number distribution centers, adoption green logistics, split-by-ratio strategies over 305-day period. Through weighted sum model, Scenario C emerged as optimal configuration, achieving balance between operational efficiency reducing CO2 emissions up 90% lowering transportation costs without compromising revenue. Sensitivity analysis further highlighted trade-offs cost efficiency, lead times, impact, showing that strategic placement centers use eco-friendly vehicles significantly improve chain. These findings provide practical insights decision-makers, demonstrating how digital tools can enhance management optimizing goals simultaneously. research contributes fields sustainable logistics validating effectiveness decision-making approaches impact while maintaining economic viability.
