DEVELOPING AGILE MANUFACTURING STRATEGY WITH AWESIM SIMULATION PLATFORM
Agile manufacturing can be defined as the capability of surviving in a competitive environment of continuous and unpredictable change by reacting quickly and effectively to changing markets, driven by customer-designed products and services. In such an environment, most, if not all, decisions have to be made precisely and in an intelligent manner.
