Abstract

Companies compete in a fierce market, in which the main focus is consumer satisfaction, forcing them to respond dynamically to market changes and instabilities. Due to these factors, more accurate, adaptable, robust and exploitable models are needed to represent these production systems. Therefore, the present study analyzes dynamic models based on the bond graph method and applied to manufacture. Comparing with other approaches used in the modeling of production systems, the bond graphs approach stands out for its modularity, which allows the integration of different systems, subsystems and components. This, in turn, allows the representation of different configurations of production systems (e.g., flow shop, job shop). The purpose of this work is to present a detailed comparative analysis, discussing the variables used in the models, the mathematical equations and the context of their applications. The systematic and extensive search carried out in the literature showed that models based on bond graphs with application in manufacturing are scarce. The manufacturing and operations management area may benefit from this type of approach, which is unusual in these areas and allows the use of control theory tools for dynamic analysis and simulation of closed-loop systems, as in an industry 4.0 environment. The simulation of these systems, in turn, yields prescriptive management guidelines for their effective operation. This work aims to contribute to the development of future works in this line of research.
