Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we will present three approaches to model manufacturing systems in an aggregate way leading to fast and effective (i.e., scalable) simulations that allow the development of simulation tools for rapid exploration of different production scenarios in a factory as well as in a whole supply chain. We will present the main ideas and show some validation studies. Fundamental references are given for more detailed studies.
