Abstract
Globalization, high competitiveness, and highly customized products are factors that increase the complexity of product development and production systems. Such complexity makes conventional mathematical or analytical models unsuitable for properly analyzing such systems, for which simulation emerges as an alternative for evaluating, designing, improving, and operating complex systems. This Paper focuses on the design, modeling, and simulation of an agile assembly center (AAC) that produces durable big-sized products with the capacity of serving several projects and clients concurrently leveraging Physical Internet (PI) concepts while embedding the decision-making agents’ intelligence. This work is the cornerstone for implementing a digital twin of an AAC that will help make operational, tactical, and strategic decisions towards improving the performance of PI inspired assembly facilities.
