- The minitrack contains contributions with a focus on modeling and decision making in manufacturing and logistics in the context of Industry 4.0.
Cyber-physical systems integrate the real world and the virtual world. For example, customer decisions and supply disruptions which directly influence manufacturing and logistics systems require immediate decisions in terms of planning and controlling the manufacturing and logistics systems. In order to immediately respond to these dynamics, models must have the capability to support decision making in manufacturing as well as in internal and external logistics in real-time. Two of the Mintrack papers describe concepts and models for digital twins. One paper provides an adaptive scheduling framework for solving multi-objective hybrid flow shop scheduling problems and one paper investigates matrix production systems and with their requirements and impacts on logistics planning.
