Abstract
In this study, a coloured Petri net conceptual model and an Arena © simulation model were developed for analysing the railway flow of hot steel coils in a steel factory. The simulation goal was to analyse a number of flow and storage management policies in order to identify which scenario reduces the total number of mobile railway resources needed for the internal transportation of the coils. This study was part of a larger study whose main objective was to redesign a factory railway system and a harbour steel terminal, in order to cope with a considerable increase in steel production. © 2009 Springer London.
