Abstract
The chapter presents the results of the author’s studies which consisted in software technologies for simulation in production and logistics. Green requirements for these technologies are defined. In first phase simulation techniques like spreadsheet, programming languages, programming libraries, specialist simulation software agent technologies are evaluated and compared. For next phase five specialist simulation packages were chosen and evaluated in details. From this list, one package was selected with built-in “green” functions. Example of using selected software package to investigate carbon dioxide emissions in factory which produce bottled milk and cheese was described.
