Abstract

Simulation software has reached a technological level that provides high flexibility and integration capabilities necessary for product design, development and manufacturing efficiency. Within the manufacturing industry, this simulation potential has not been fully recognized, although it is now becoming a matter of interest through the documented benefits it has provided. This paper discusses the issues of simulation definition, selection and integration with both business systems and each other. This also discusses the practical difficulties a business would encounter in the development of a fully digital environment through simulation integration, and data management
