Abstract
The main focus of this paper is to look at production management in a manufacturing facility and correlate it with the energy consumption. The end result of this process will be a better understanding of the production system and the energy loses. This will be closely followed by the creation of different scenarios that ideally will lead to a lowering in the energy consumption. So far, simulation has been used in manufacturing facilities for modelling supply chain management, production management and business processes. This research brings a novel approach to investigating the adaptability of industrial simulation processes and tools for modelling the energy consumption with respect to a variable production output.
