Optimizing Production Systems: The Role of Simulation Techniques in Modern Manufacturing

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of simulation techniques as a pivotal tool for modeling and optimizing production systems in industrial companies. As manufacturing environments grow increasingly complex, traditional analytical methods often fail to capture operational dynamics effectively. This study reviews the current literature and presents real-world case studies, demonstrating the versatility of simulation in addressing challenges related to capacity planning, resource allocation, and process optimization. The findings reveal significant benefits, including enhanced decision-making capabilities and improved operational efficiency. Additionally, the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as digital twins, is discussed, emphasizing their transformative potential in real-time monitoring and optimization of production processes. This research contributes valuable insights for both academics and practitioners aiming to enhance supply chain and risk management through advanced simulation methodologies.
