Abstract :In the Industry 4.0 era, manufacturing enterprises need various digital optimization tools to adapt to digital transformation. This study aims to identify the subjective weights of the challenges faced by manufacturing enterprises when implementing Discrete Event Simulation (DES), one of the prominent optimization tools of the Industry 4.0 era. The challenges examined in this empirical research are derived from the existing literature. In this study, three experts responsible for DES implementation and production in their organizations were consulted. The Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was used to reflect the subjective weights of the decision criteria and the cause-effect relationships between them. The DEMATEL method is a method used in the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) literature to determine the subjective weights of decision criteria. As a result of the study, the importance ranking of the challenges faced by manufacturing enterprises in DES implementation was obtained and the causal relationship between these challenges was determined. Identifying the causal relationship between these challenges can provide decision makers with a competitive advantage in overcoming these challenges. Adoption of the findings of the study will facilitate the adoption of DES, resulting in reduced costs, increased customer satisfaction and competitive advantage for industry professionals.Keywords : Kesikli Olay Simulasyonu, DES, Çok Kriterli Karar Verme, MCDM, DEMATEL
