Modeling and Optimization of Production Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Production systems play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of goods and services. The optimization of these systems is essential to enhance performance, reduce waste, and increase productivity. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments and advancements in the modeling and optimization of production systems to support decision-making and to establish and develop knowledge.

The topics of interest include the mathematical modeling and simulation of production systems, optimization of production processes, lean and process improvement, supply chain management and optimization, quality control and assurance, performance measurement and evaluation, sustainable production systems, circular economy, and big data analytics and machine learning in production systems.

We invite researchers, academics, and practitioners to submit their original research articles, reviews, or case studies on the topics of interest.
