ABSTRACT
In this work, a simulated annealing approach for multi criteria optimization is presented to optimize supply chain in steel industry. First, conceptual model of steel industry supply chain is introduced. A simulation model is developed to describe the flow of the supply chain and a selected set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are incorporated into the model.
