Discrete Event Simulation - Production Model In SIMUL8

Computer simulation is a method for studying complex systems that are not solvable with the use of standard analytical techniques. This contribution deals with the application of simulation program SIMUL8 to the analysis of production process in company Alteko, Inc. producing radial fans. The main purpose of the computer experiments is to identify the bottleneck processes and to suggest the management the appropriate solution. Computer experiments are aimed at the possibility of the parallelization of contracts in terms of the utilization of shared resources. Acceptable requirements for resources are recommended without the necessity of hiring additional operators. Although more suitable software can be used for the analysis of manufacturing processes, the advantage of SIMUL8 consists of its simplicity and interpretability of achieved results.
