Real-time Simulation for Sustainable Production

<p>This book provides a comprehensive overview of potential opportunities and the business value position related to implementing physics-based real-time simulation to production. The objective of real-time simulation is to provide value for all three dimensions of sustainability: economic social and environmental. </p><p>By reviewing actual industrial cases and presenting relevant academic research the book examines the topic from four interrelated viewpoints: the industrial need for sustainable production the development of game-like virtual environments capturing customer value and enhancing the user experience and finally establishing business value. It offers a framework that will enable a rethink and shift in mindset to appreciate how real-time simulation can change the way products are manufactured and services are produced. </p><p>This book will appeal to researchers and scholars in areas as diverse as strategic management manufacturing and operations management marketing industrial economics and product lifecycle management.</p>
