Abstract :
Through proper application of simulation and modeling within industrial environments, greater impact for energy, waste and production improvements can occur. Modern simulation and modeling systems can help determine impacts of energy and waste reduction concepts on production and vice-versa. Through a 1999 Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs funded project, improvements of over 40% in production, 6% in reduced waste, 3% in employee effectiveness, and a 6% reduction in energy costs were realized through proper use of simulation and modeling in an industrial environment
