چکیده
This paper deals with the use of computer simulation with the aim of achieving more efficient production in manufacturing and production systems. In our case, the possibilities of such use are demonstrated on particular examples from industrial practice. Some simulation studies are presented. The aim of these studies is to suggest and simulate experiments designed to increase productivity and to find bottlenecks in the system. The Witness simulation environment was used for modeling and subsequent simulation. Key-Words: Computer simulation, discrete event systems, manufacturing systems, modeling, Witness

متن کاملA Comparison of Job-Shop and Group Technology Using Simulation by ARENA
Production planning is performed through diverse methods according to the type of the system it is structured upon. One of the most important steps before production planning is to determine which system best fits the firm, and how the facilities should be designed. Both job-shop and group-technology systems have their own pros and cons, each of which is suitable to a specific kind of factory. ...
