Manufacturing enterprises are changing the way they behave in the market to face the increasing
complexity of the economic, socio-political and technological dynamics. Manufacturing products,
processes and production systems result in being challenged by evolving external drivers, including the
introduction of new regulations, newmaterials, technologies, services and communications, the pressure
on costs and sustainability. The co-evolution paradigm synthesises the recent scientific and technical
approaches proposed by academic and industrial communities dealing with methodologies and tools to
support the coordinated evolution (co-evolution) of products, processes and production systems. This
paper aims at reviewing and systemising the research carried out in the field of manufacturing coevolution
with a particular focus on production systems. An introductory investigation of various
industrial perspectives on the problem of co-evolution is presented, followed by the description of the coevolution
model and the methodology adopted for framing the existing scientific contributions in the
proposed model. Then, the core part of the work is presented, consisting in a systemised analysis of the
current methodologies dealing with co-evolving product, process and system and a description of
problems that remain unsolved, thus motivating future research strategies and roadmaps.
