OPTIMIZATION OF MATERIAL FLOW BY SIMULATION METHODS

Abstract

In the sphere of production area, methods of simulation of production processes and logistic processes are increasingly used. These methods are mainly used in planning, optimization and operational management of production flows and technologies. Material flow simulation methods are closely linked to information technologies and related statistical disciplines. The combination of these disciplines allows the creation of efficient methodologies for generating material flow through simulation models and related algorithms. Logistic dependencies found through these models are then ideally applicable to serial production lines.
