Case study: the simulation modeling to improve the efficiency and performance of production process

The aim of the paper is to present a case study and to point out the possibilities of using computer simulation for the purpose of increasing the efficiency and efficiency of custom production of a company. The use of simulation modeling as a scientific method in research and in practice brings benefits such as financial, time, material and energy savings, as well as streamlining activities in real practice. The development of advanced simulation systems has opened up new possibilities and significantly supported the trend of streamlining production activities, thus reducing costs and improving business performance. Simulation, however, is not a tool for obtaining an optimal solution, but rather a tool that allows you to test different decision outputs on a simulation model. Such a simulation model makes it possible to carry out various experiments to evaluate, analyse and determine solution parameters that can then be used in a real system. Risk factors can be investigated and determined beforehand by ‘replacing’ the running simulation model while monitoring system performance and behaviour, then, after applying the required changes, the future behaviour of the system is examined for any potential problems and obstacles. Can be removed in advance. The goal is to analyse the material flow in the production process and then create a simulation to determine the length of production and identify bottlenecks in the production process. In order to get a better idea of the production process, a simulation model was developed in the selected software tool as a custom production project under the conditions of a particular company. The incentive to start production is given to the customer, where every order placed is immediately sent to the customer. The highest frequency order in the enterprise’s production program is used to create the material flow.
