The productive environment over time is called to face unexpected challenges and adapt to new circumstances, with the result that the concept of flexibility and its relationship with production parameters constantly stimulates the interest of businesses. The present paper examines the influence of industrial flexibility on various parameters of production systems in conditions of uncertainty and lack of knowledge. Methodologically, simple design representations of the basic functions of the production systems are used, such as in-line processing/storage, assembly/concentration and disassembly/distribution of by-products to facilitate the synthesis, modeling and simulation of realistic-sized systems. Digital twins and system simulation models with different levels of flexibility are presented with the help of the Fuzzy Logic toolbox of Matlab/Simulink software. Conditions of failures, resource use, organizational / business options for different operating scenarios are examined, sensitivity analysis of the parameters involved is performed and conclusions are drawn.
