Aim. The presented study aims to examine the specific features as well as organizational and technical aspects of production logistics, taking into account its potential for using digital technologies.Tasks. The authors consider the essence, purpose, and goals of production logistics; analyze major logistics systems used in production logistics; assess the prospects for using digital technologies in this sphere.Methods. This study uses the methodology of strategic and logistics management, the systems approach, life cycle theory, general scientific methods of generalization, comparative, retrospective, and structural-functional analysis.Results. The production and logistics systems of a company are considered as equivalent elements in the context of managing material flows in internal and external supply chains and achieving the company’s operational and development goals. In this regard, production logistics is shown as part of both logistics and production, which affects its organization and architecture. Under modern conditions, an approach based on certain data is widely used in production logistics. It requires active introduction of digital technologies in production logistics, the purpose of which is not to achieve technical or organizational perfection of business processes, but to select technologies from the perspective of creating additional value.Conclusions. In the course of the study, three categories of activities associated with production logistics are identified. For each of these categories, the prospects and recommended classification of digital technologies are defined. Particular emphasis is placed on improving the quality and efficiency of data use. According to the authors, all information systems and digital technologies used in production logistics should be highly reliable. Thus, introduction of any new technologies in production logistics requires careful consideration. Regardless of the type of technology, a systems approach to the organization and development of production logistics is a prerequisite for the efficient operation of the company as a whole.

An increase in the number of product types required by customers results in an increase in the complexity of logistics systems. This finding is particularly characteristic of production logistics systems, where the use of flexible production systems is becoming increasingly important. One of the defining tools for the development of these processes is the value process mapping method, a static version of which suitable for the simultaneous examination of a product family has become widespread in corporate practice. The paper presents the method of dynamic value stream mapping, which is also suitable for the examination of complex logistics systems, exploring its steps and the possibilities of its application in production logistics. An example prepared using the VSM module of the Plant Simulation framework is also presented to illustrate the application of the method.

There is still lack of effective modeling and simulation method for complex electromechanical coupling system. Modelica is a multi-domain unified modeling language to solve the modeling and simulation problems of the complex and heterogeneous physical systems. Dymola is a Modelica-based modeling and simulation platform for the complex physical systems. In this paper, the dynamics model of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)-precision reducer system is established using Lagrange-Maxwell equation. The simulation model of this system is set up with Modelica language. The simulation of the system is realized in Dymola. Results show that the system can respond to good static and dynamic characteristics under a given speed for different loads. The dynamics model of the PMSM-precision reducer system can be further used in system control and optimization. The proposed modeling and simulation method based on Modelica may be commonly applied to other complex electromechanical systems.

Recently, a new academic field, “service engineering” has been very actively investigated. However, there are few effective methods and tools to simulate and evaluate services designed based on the concept of service engineering. In the past, the authors proposed a service flow simulation method using scene transition nets (STN) which is a graphic modeling and simulation method for discrete-continuous hybrid systems. However, this method does not consider how to model and simulate complex service flows including multiple layered, parallel, and interrupted structures and it is difficult to construct STN models of such complex systems using the existing STN concepts. In this paper, the authors propose a new STN modeling method using “multi-aspect STN modeling “ concepts in order to provide easy methods for modeling of such complex services. The experimental results for the modeling and simulation of a nursing service demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With the increased requirements for smaller size and more functions, hand held devices will use more and more small components to reduce the PWB areas. One of the solutions is stacked package. There are two kinds of stacked packages: one is die stacking and the other is package stacking. The package stacking is a more flexible solution for device manufacturers because the packages to be stacked could come from different vendors. All the packages can be tested separately before stacking so that there is no need for device manufacturers to acquire good dies or intellectual properties for die testing. In this study, the focus will be on the package stacking. The package stacking can be ASIC and memory stacking or memory and memory stacking. Three different stacked packages are selected for this study. Here the focus is on FEA modeling and simulation method for package stacking. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the results of thermal cycling test. A reasonable correlation is achieved based on current simulation method.
