Abstract
An optimization of the production process is defined as the search for solutions with improved production efficiency. Process optimization should be one of the main components of a business strategy that not only delivers benefits to customers but also helps increase the performance of production processes and benefits the entire business. The traditional approaches to job shop scheduling are based on the exact mathematically formalized model. If the number of model parameters is high and the environment is rather uncertain, the practical applications are quite restricted. That is why the theory proposes an approach based on a large-scale computer simulation. The main goal of this paper is to show that in a concrete company case, the simulation-based approach provides increased productivity. The presented study proposes the practical application of the Tecnomatix software used in the research to optimize the production system. The partial aims of the paper are as follows: (1) to create a simulation model of the production system with the help of the Plant Simulation module, (2) to model the current state of matters in the company, and (3) to propose a solution to the problem. Ultimately, we show that the simulation approach to the production line control provides rather effective solutions when compared to the intuitive one based on trial-and-error experience. The improvement includes a significant (1) shortening of the production cycle and (2) increase in productivity.
