Abstract
In automotive industry, the development and operational use of lean digital validation methods takes a significant role to cope with current challenges in the field of production engineering. This paper focuses on these new developed value-focused digital validation methods that are recently used within the design process of automated assembly systems. In this context, the characteristics, interactions, operational applications and benefits of the three lean digital validation methods of virtual engineering, virtual commissioning and physics-based analysis are presented.
