      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 that of the  system dynamics 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.},
