: The objective of this study is to develop a simulation in the logistics operations of a company that specializes in cold cuts, transporting and storing loads that require low or cryogenic temperatures, using the Arena software to identify possible bottlenecks, waste, delays and inefficiencies. in the company's processes, and propose solutions to optimize time, cost, quality and customer satisfaction. The simulation theory highlighted the step-by-step use of Arena, from modeling, data analysis and reporting. The methodology was based on a bibliographical, descriptive and quantitative study. The case study method behind a fild research of a real company was also used, where time data was collected to analyze and prepare the simulation in Arena. The results of the research carried out in the logistical process of route return, cargo checking, unloading and maneuvering of trucks in a company distributing products that require rigid temperatures, demonstrated the effectiveness of the Arena software to improve these operations and that the company has an efficient operation, with service within the established shift. It is concluded that the use of Arena software allowed each stage of the process to be simulated in detail, from the arrival of the vehicles to the final positioning maneuver.
