Modelling and simulation is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) and simulations for managerial or technical decision making. The great value of M&S in manufacturing has long been recognized. Over the last decade, the advent of information and communication technology such as smart sensors, Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, cyber-physical systems have been shaping many fields, including manufacturing. In line with this trend, smart manufacturing emerged. As a comprehensive information technology that integrate computer, model theory, and scientific computing, modelling and simulation have been widely applied in all stages of product life cycle covering design, production, testing, maintenance, procurement, and sales. In the context of smart manufacturing, modelling and simulation has been revived and found many new applications, such as modelling and simulation-based system of system engineering and digital twin, which enable the digitalization, normalization, traceability, high efficiency, low cost, and intelligence of the lifecycle of manufacturing.
