Logistic simulator for steel producing factories

The logistic processes in most steel producing plants are very complex. To assist the decision makers in steel producing plants, Incontrol Enterprise Dynamics have developed for and in cooperation with SMS Demag in Germany, a simulator that can be used to rapidly model any steel plant. The Steel Plant Simulator has been built using the software package Enterprise Dynamics® and allows for rapid insight into the influences of layout changes, process and speed parameters, length of production runs, changes in planning and type of products that are being produced. The Simulator incorporates a dynamic scheduler to create a realistic production planning. Results include production Gantt charts, time-path diagrams, utilization figures and production statistics.
