The use of Computer Simulation Techniques in Production Management

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the possibility of using computer simulation techniques to optimize production processes. The paper presents a simulation model, which is the basis for solving decision problems, in particular regarding the determination of alternative scenarios for the allocation of production resources. The simulation model was built in FlexSim. It consists of a finite set of decision variables and constraints that result from the analyzed technological process. The basic stages of creating a simulation model are discussed and the results of the simulation are presented.
