  We present a fully automated framework based on the FeynRules and MadGraph5
aMC@NLO programs that allows for accurate simulations of supersymmetric QCD
processes at the LHC. Starting directly from a model Lagrangian that features
squark and gluino interactions, event generation is achieved at the
next-to-leading order in QCD, matching short-distance events to parton showers
and including the subsequent decay of the produced supersymmetric particles. As
an application, we study the impact of higher-order corrections in gluino
pair-production in a simplified benchmark scenario inspired by current gluino
LHC searches.
