The ABW manufacturing simulation is industrial-based and challenges participants to take over and run a manufacturing facility. A manufacturer is a business, and successful businesses need to run at a profit. This model is primarily concerned with revenues and the costs of production. Success then means keeping costs to a level where the revenue from sales exceeds the cost of making, advertising and selling that number of products.
