A hybrid simulation-based production planning architecture consisting of system dynamics (SD) components at the higher decision level and discrete event simulation (DES) components at the lower decision level is presented. The need for the two types of simulation has been justified. The architecture consists of four modules: Enterprise-level decision maker, SD model of enterprise, Shop-level decision maker and DES model of shop. The decision makers select the optimal set of control parameters based on the estimated behavior of the system. These control parameters are used by the SD and DES models to determine the best plan based on the actual behavior of the system. High Level Architecture has been employed to interface SD and DES simulation models. Experimental results from a single-product manufacturing enterprise demonstrate the validity and scope of the proposed approach.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;cited By (since 1996) 13; Conference of Proceedings of the 2004 Winter Simulation Conference; Conference Date: 5 December 2004 through 8 December 2004; Conference Code: 64661&lt;/p&gt;</style></notes></record></records></xml>
