Energy efficiency and productivity improvements analysis in a Brazilian steel plant: simulation model using JaamSim open source software by Rodrigo de Paula Oliveira, Wilson Trigueiro de Sousa Júnior, Roberta Alves, Alexandre Ferreira de Pinho, Helio Tavares de Sá Neto

“…Still hardly used to explore issues related to sustainability, a DES model allows the representation of an existing system in a virtual space, providing an ideal environment for conducting experiments, without the need to make changes in practice. Thus, this paper applied the DES method in a steelmaker located in Brazil, in order to simulate the impact, after a possible change in the system, on the behavior of three analysis variables: production volume, electrical energy consumption, and $$\hbox {CO}_{2}$$ CO 2 emission. …”
