Popis: Sustainability has been always recognised as a critical factor for the future of our society and the recent advancement in the technology domain can help in achieving sustainable operations. In this paper, the benefits related to data gathering, real-time analysis and optimization are specifically emphasised. A discrete-event simulation model has been proposed as a first step towards sustainable production scheduling in a textile manufacturing industry. The model is designed to be feed in the next future with real-time data, gathered form IoT technologies. It has been proved that the simulation supports the company in reducing setup, increase productivity and avoid resource wasting.
