Solving Manufacturing Problems Using Simulation Modeling

E-book

The curriculum of the Faculty of Management includes courses that focus on the use of simulation modeling programs in production management. This book is intended to be used as part of these subjects. The book can also be used in English-language studies or courses jointly implemented by universities from diff erent countries.
The specific objectives of the lessons are for students to gain the ability to use simulation programs, to learn the methodology of researching the improvement of production processes using these programs, and to strengthen the concepts of management and organization of production. Some of the issues also relate to production logistics, including internal transportation and storage systems.
The book consists of sixteen chapters. The layout of each chapter from the 1st to the 15th is similar. It includes an identifi cation of the aim of the exercise, a description of the problem to be analyzed, a description of the objects and tools used, the building of the simulation model, assumptions for carrying out the simulation, and guidelines for performing an analysis of the solutions obtained. In the [1, 3, 5, 6, 8-11, 13, 15] exercises, the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software, version 15, was used, and in the [2, 4, 7, 12, 14] exercises, the FlexSim 20.1.3 software was used. Inthe 16th exercise, the Production Line - Car Factory computer game, educational version, was used. For this reason, the layout of Exercise 16 is slightly diff erent.
