Popis: Manufacturing organizations aim to adopt integrated supply chain planning to improve their operational performance. Technologies driving the 4th Industrial Revolution can support them by providing real-time data from physically distributed processes. However, in order to achieve an optimal allocation of interdependent production, inventory and transport resources, several planning and control problems have to be considered, which pose theoretical and computational challenges. In this direction, the challenges of dynamic supply chains can be addressed using adaptive simulation-based optimization and Industry 4.0 technologies. Therefore, this research proposes an adaptive simulation-based optimization approach to integrate manufacturing supply chain planning tasks. This approach is capable of dealing with complex systems as well as considering a dynamic environment with stochastic behavior. Finally, a test case is presented to evaluate the computation time feasibility and quality of the solutions provided by the method. In the present application, the method provided a convergence to a best solution in different experiments within a short amount of time, coping with the requirements of complex and uncertain scenarios.
