Design and simulation of manufacturing systems using simulation software for advanced planning and scheduling

The Bachelor’s thesis deals with problematics of discrete-event simulation of production systems and clarification of basic concepts related to simulation, system, model and modelling using software for creating simulation models. The aim is to create simulation model of production line for paper boxes and to find the optimal solution that would meet the requirements for increase in productivity, eliminating downtime for individual machines while maintaining minimum production costs. The creation of the production system is solved in the simulation software Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 14. Furthermore, several solutions were designed and evaluated, from which the optimal solution with the lowest costs was selected
