Abstract

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A COMPREHENSIVE CASE STUDY CONDUCTED BY FESIOS GMBH IN COLLABORATION WITH ARCELORMITTAL LONG PRODUCTS LUXEMBOURG, FOCUSING ON THE POTENTIALS OF DIGITAL MODELING IN OPTIMIZING STEEL PRODUCTION PROCESSES UNDER CONDITIONS OF SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY. THE STUDY, DRIVEN BY ARCELORMITTAL'S AMBITIOUS MODERNIZATION PROJECT IN LUXEMBOURG, AIMED TO ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY BY 15% AND INTRODUCE NEW STEEL GRADES THROUGH A REVAMPED ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE (EAF) AND A NEW VACUUM DEGASSING (VD) PLANT. SIMULATION STUDIES REVEALED POTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS IN THE MELT SHOP, SCRAP YARD, AND RUN-OUT AREAS, ENABLING STRATEGIC ADJUSTMENTS. RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SIMULATION IN PREEMPTING PRODUCTION ISSUES AND OPTIMIZING PLANT OPERATIONS, ULTIMATELY SUPPORTING THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF ARCELORMITTAL'S MODERNIZATION INVESTMENT.
