Designing manufacturing systems matching both production and market requirements becomes more and more challenging due to the variability of demand for a large number of products made in many variants and short lead times. Manufacturing flexibility is widely recognised as a proven solution to achieve and maintain both the strategical and operational goals of the companies exposed to global competition. Generic simulation model of flexible manufacturing system was developed using FlexSimr 3D software, then the example data were used to demonstrate the developed model applicability. “The Ontology on Flexibility” was applied for evaluation of achieved flexibility of manufacturing system.}, title={A simulation study of Industry 4.0 factories based on the ontology on flexibility with using FlexSimr software}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/117941/PDF/8-594-K.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2020.134934}, keywords={industry 4.0, Simulation Modelling, flexible manufacturing system, FlexSim}, }
