The use of simulation models to analyse the production process

The use of simulation increasingly becomes part of business planning and analysis. Using a computer program a model that faithfully mimics reality can be easily created and used to analyze the situation in the company. In this diploma thesis simulation is used to accurately determine utilization of shields manufacturing machines. Further simulation is used to analyze the entire production process, which begins with the arrival of the material and ends with finished product. The main focus is placed on the practical part, but of course there some theory necessary for a deeper understanding the issue is also mentioned. Editing input information, means experimenting with the data is searching for the optimal utilization of machines, number of shifts and employees. Based on the results of the analysis number of produced shields and production process could be modified. The aim is to determine the current state of utilization and to find the ceiling for possible future expansion of production
