Abstract Reacting quickly to changing market demands and new variants by improving adapting industrial systems is an important business advantage. Changes are costly; especially when those already in place. Resources invested should be targeted so that the results of improvements maximized. One method allowing this combination discrete event simulation, aggregated models, multi-objective optimization, data-mining shown article. A real-world optimization case study problem conducted resulting...

Removing bottlenecks that restrain the overall performance of a factory can give companies competitive edge. Although in principle, it is possible to connect multiple detailed discrete-event simulation models form complete model, could be too computationally expensive, especially if connected are used for simulation-based optimizations. Observing computational speed running model significantly reduced by aggregating line-level into an aggregated level, this paper investigates, with some loss...
