Leveraging Modelling and Simulation to address Manufacturing Challenges

The diverse range of simulation and modelling (s&m) encompasses all aspects of the society, military, and economy particularly the major fields of endeavour that are germane to national development and national security, for example, health care, aviation, information technology, manufacturing, transportation, education, and agriculture. nonlinearity, uncertainty, and high complexity of the research objectivity are collective feature fields. as digital technologies are transforming manufacturing, ranging from product design, planning, and scheduling, to life cycle assessment of the products. emerging technologies have remarkably increased the impact of modelling and simulation. the manufacturing industry has started to incorporate enhanced methodologies toward the interdependent systems that aid accurate decision making and actual depiction of the digital world entities. modelling and simulation have demonstrated unique and cutting-edge advantages in the field of manufacturing. in this paper, we critically examined works of literature on the simulation and modelling of manufacturing systems, areas of application in the manufacturing industry, and challenges associated with modelling and simulation.
