Simulation is frequently used for prediction of the outcome of adjustments in production systems. Real decision processes must be represented in the simulation. To achieve this, complex real decision processes have to be transferred into the simulation. This leads to a high effort for the creation of simulation models. This is resolved by the concept of iterative optimization-based simulation. Instead of transferring complex decision processes into the simulation, the predicted parameters are exported and existing decision processes determine a solution.
