Abstract

As sustainability related issues are becoming increasingly import in business decision making, simulation modeling is needed to analyze the system performance not only using traditional performance measures such as productivity and efficiency, but also taking into account sustainability related performance measures. This paper describes the design and development of a sustainability toolkit for simulation with the intent of making sustainability related performance measures as easy to model and collect as traditional productivity based performance measures. The focus here is on the development of a toolkit for modeling and analysis of environmental performance measures in discrete-event systems simulation.
