Abstract

Production networks are complex systems consisting of distributed entities that cooperate in manufacturing scenarios in a long term/stable collaboration time horizon. In order to govern the network complexity, manage the risks and dynamically predict the impacts of decisions before their implementation, simulation can be applied. The paper presents an overview on the state of the art of production network simulation, including also supply networks, and outlines evolution trends and challenges for further developments in this field. Trends and proposed challenges mainly deal with interdisciplinary research approaches, inclusion of sustainable development dimensions in the application scopes of simulation, and enabling simulation technologies and architectures.
