Abstract
complex technical systems. We modeled the manufacturing operations of a local metal mill company to answer questions
related to shorter product life cycle, identifying system bottlenecks, short-term budgeting, scheduling and other key decisions
that may have a direct impact on revenues and costs of the company. We attempt to solve this problem using multi-method
simulation modeling software, AnyLogic®, which allows room to accommodate higher levels of abstraction, thereby providing
space to further extend this model for a multi-method simulation.
