Simulation, Modeling, and Decision-Making Processes in Manufacturing Systems and Industrial Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

Within the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of manufacturing systems and industrial engineering, an unparalleled synergy has emerged—one that wields the power to redefine the boundaries of innovation and optimization. At the heart of this transformative confluence lies the seamless integration of simulation, modeling, and decision-making processes, collectively constituting a driving force that propels the industrial world toward unprecedented efficiency, resilience, and sustainability.

In this era of relentless technological advancement, characterized by the rapid emergence of Industry 4.0, smart factories, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in industrial processes, the marriage of simulation, modeling, and decision-making has taken center stage. These intertwined disciplines not only illuminate the path toward innovation, but also serve as indispensable tools for understanding, optimizing, and reimagining the complex fabric of manufacturing systems and industrial engineering.

The Special Issue, entitled "Simulation, Modeling, and Decision-Making Processes in Manufacturing Systems and Industrial Engineering", serves as a dynamic platform for researchers, scholars, and practitioners to explore the cutting-edge developments at this critical intersection.

This Special Issue delves into the heart of contemporary manufacturing and industrial engineering, where simulation techniques, advanced modeling approaches, and astute decision-making strategies converge to address the multifaceted challenges of our times. It provides a comprehensive platform for contributions that illuminate emerging trends, novel methodologies, and innovative applications in this dynamic and ever-evolving field.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
