Many industries are moving to adapt to the competitive market and customer requirements to increase productivity, flexibility of their production systems, and achieve optimal improvement. This made the simulation attract attention by enabling its users to test several scenarios with different options and concepts before applying them on the ground. The purpose of this thesis is to test the role of simulation in making decisions about the optimal layout design within the available cost and to present a concept for simulating the production system after redesigning the smart factory, which includes the number of machines, tiles and movers as an assumption and the demand for products with a variable dynamic flow. The simulation model addresses the concept of the production process by implementing modern technologies with their effective characteristics to ensure a smooth flow of products between all the machines that present as components of the smart factory. The developed optimal model includes the components of the smart factory in addition to all the requirements that must be considered to ensure increased flexibility and efficiency of the production system. In addition, the optimal design with the lowest cost and the concept of the production process were presented through the results obtained regarding productivity and performance. This thesis presents the challenges might be arise when employing the simulation as a tool to redesign and suggestions mechanisms to reduce them in the discussion chapter. The design model presented in this thesis serves as a connecting point for continuing future initiatives and developing the production concept.
