Preface
Based on the competition of international production networks, the pressure to increase the efficiency of production systems has increased significantly. In addition, the number of technical components in many products and as a consequence also the requirements for corresponding assembly processes and logistics processes increases. International logistics networks require corresponding logistics concepts. These requirements can be managed only by using appropriate Digital Factory tools in the context of a product lifecycle management environment, which allows reusing data, supports an effective cooperation between different departments, and provides up-to-date and relevant data to every user who needs it. Simulating the complete material flow including all relevant production, storage, and transport activities is recognized as a key component of the Digital Factory in the industry and as of today widely used and accepted. Cutting inventory and throughput time by 20–60% and enhancing the productivity of existing production facilities by 15–20% can be achieved in real-life projects. The purpose of running simulations varies from strategic to tactical up to operational goals. From a strategic point of view, users answer questions like which factory in which country suits best to produce the next generation product taking into account factors like consequences for logistics, worker efficiency, downtimes, flexibility, storage costs, etc., looking at production
