1. A method for managing a manufacturing environment, the method comprising: generating, using an optimizer comprising at least one of one or more hardware devices, an optimized schedule for operators of the manufacturing environment based on an optimization data structure, the optimization data structure comprising one or more manufacturing objectives and one or more resource constraints; simulating, using a simulator comprising at least one of the one or more hardware devices, manufacturing activity based on the generated optimized schedule and an initial state data structure, the initial state data structure comprising a representation of an initial state of the manufacturing environment; storing the simulation results in a simulation data structure; and analyzing the simulation results in the simulation data structure to determine a satisfaction of the manufacturing objectives.
