“…Figure 2 shows the module Product family creation, in red, which is described in detail in the present article. The modules from Figure 2 were characterized in detail in the study: the design of manufacturing lines using the principle of reconfigurability [26]. Therefore, only a brief description of their function and purpose concerning the overall methodology is given.…”

The article presents the results of machine backup designing in reconfigurable industrial processes. The development of manufacturing systems is moving towards intelligent, automated, autonomous, and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Factories that want to ensure long-term sustainable and competitive manufacturing processes must be designing their processes to respond flexibly to changing changes in customer requirements. The article’s introduction characterizes concepts such as cold backup and warm backup machines and indicators relationship as the time between faults and repairs. The second part (materials and methods) describes prerequisites as the creation of the product family creation and resource availability with many formulas, simulation models, and its verification for the creation of the family products in the third part of this article. The third part describes the results from the calculations of the backups and family products of their use in reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The developed methodology for line design uses the principles of reconfiguration in designing configurations regarding advanced approaches in factories. A significant milestone will be the rapid integration of disruptive technologies and approaches into manufacturing systems. The complexity of future manufacturing systems in the Factories of the Future will only be possible with new innovative factory technologies using the digital twin.

“…Manufacturing systems should be designed effectively [31], and the strength of industrial engineer should be the ability to model, simulate and optimize production and logistics processes. In addition, a combination of the real and virtual world creates a new system for solving production systems [32][33][34].…”

(1) At present, it is important to bring the latest technologies from industrial practice into the teaching process of educational institutions, including universities. The presented case study addresses the application of educational games in virtual reality to the teaching process in a university environment. (2) The study took place at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Žilina in Žilina and consisted of two phases. In the first phase, students’ satisfaction with current teaching methods was examined. The second phase focused on an educational game in virtual reality, which introduced a non-traditional approach for teaching lean management, namely the tool 5S. (3) This game was designed by the study authors and created in the Godot game engine. The educational game was provided to students during class. After completing the game, participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire. The aim was to enable students to express their opinion on the educational game and to identify the main benefits of this approach in the teaching process. (4) In the study’s final phase, based on the acquired knowledge, the authors examined the benefits and disadvantages of virtual reality educational games for the teaching process of industrial engineering tools.

“…Moreover, design supports organizational learning processes by assimilating external knowledge and exploiting that knowledge through the necessary transformations [38,39]. This is especially relevant for responding quickly to ever-changing market demands, competitors' moves and the needs of dynamic manufacturing systems [40][41][42].…”

Increasing numbers of companies are looking to embed design as a strategic capability to meet today’s business and social challenges. However, integrating design in an organization is a challenge, due to the scarcity of knowledge on managing this process and measuring its impact. This study presents a model for measuring and managing the impact of design on the organization (DIMM). The model builds on four levels of design impact identified in the literature: results, perception, processes, and design culture. The model was tested with four service companies that have recently developed design capabilities. To this end, those responsible for the integration of design were interviewed, using the model itself as an interview guide to confirm its usefulness and identify possible improvements. The results showed that the model was useful to assess the impact of design on companies with emerging design capabilities, but also as a reflection and management tool to align design with strategic objectives and promote its integration into the organization. Finally, future research should test the model longitudinally, as well as in a broader scope of organizations, to validate its usefulness for organizations with greater design maturity.
