The manufacturing industry is an important field of application for modeling and simulation (M&S) technology. M&S technology provides an effective, safe, and economical way for manufacturing practitioners to analyze and understand complex situations in manufacturing. This enables them to optimize production processes, reduce dependence on physical experiments, improve product quality, reduce production costs, and quickly respond to market changes. After more than 70 years of development, M&S technology has been successfully applied to all phases of the manufacturing lifecycle
