In this paper a methodology to develop simulation models is presented. The methodology is based on a multi-level simulation model which allows flexibility and process analysis. The present work starts from applied researches in different SME enterprises. Enterprise management often needs easy and fast developed tools to increase production capacity and flexibility. In many cases performances in...

Lack of leadership is frequently a cause for the high failure rate of business process reengineering (BPR) projects.
