Trends in Modeling and Simulation of Production Processes and Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the MDPI journal "New Trends for Modeling and Simulation of Production Processes and Systems" will be devoted to the latest trends in the implementation of the Industry 4.0 strategy into internal production processes. Priority should be given to the issues of putting the Industry 4.0 strategy into practice. In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the present points to the unpreparedness of companies to deploy digital technologies in their production. Companies that have used digital concepts and automated manufacturing processes in the past have a competitive advantage today. The risk of the human factor is trying to eliminate every area of ​​human life, through autopilots in the aviation industry, the deployment of autonomous cars in road traffic and virtual commissioning in the industrial sector. The use of progressive and unconventional technologies in production shows a significant reduction in costs, which companies can then invest in innovations of their own portfolio of activities. This issue should be dedicated to these areas.
