Highly customized and varying products in the market increase unpredictability and uncertainty of manufacturing systems. Virtual manufacturing (VM) has been proved a cost-effective technology for mass customization and system flexibility. VM is increasingly employed in various applications of product design and manufacturing. Manufacturing systems however are hierarchical, heterogeneous and distributed in the complicated dynamic environment of product development. It is a challenge to model manufacturing systems using existing methods and tools. The potential of VM as a changeability enabler has not been explored in depth. Existing VM solutions do not give enough decision reliability. Efficient modeling and human role in the decision-making have to be integrated into VM systems to meet the need of dynamic manufacturing environments for handling uncertainty and complexity of manufacturing systems.

市场上高度定制和变化的产品增加了制造系统的不可预测性和不确定性。虚拟制造（VM）已被证明是一种成本有效的大规模定制和系统的柔性技术。虚拟机越来越多地应用于产品设计和制造的各种应用中。然而，在复杂的动态产品开发环境中，制造系统具有层次性、异构性和分布性。使用现有的方法和工具对制造系统进行建模是一个挑战。VM作为可变性推动者的潜力尚未得到深入探讨。现有的VM解决方案不能提供足够的决策可靠性。为了满足动态制造环境对处理制造系统不确定性和复杂性的需求，必须将有效的建模和人在决策中的作用集成到VM系统中。
