Application of EXTENDSIM for Improvement of Production Logistics' Efficiency

Abstract

The article deals with the use of computer simulation approach in order to streamline production logistics within a specific production company. The computer simulation from its very beginnings has undergone a long and significant evolution. The current possibilities of computer simulation approach enable to mimic the real processes of production logistic activities as well as of the actual production. This article is focused on the question, how to effectively utilise the available tools of computer simulation approach to analyse and streamline a particular simulation system. Therefore also the presented solution is the actual description of a practical application of a computer simulation approach used for the needs of one specific production company within one specific industry area. The intention is to showcase the practical aspects of simulation modelling, in this case utilising the EXTENDSIM simulation system. The simulation approach will be used for the needs of a production company, that produces car components and accessories made of wood for the automotive industry.

Evaluation of Ipt Systems Application Using Simulation

“…Application of simulation in logistics has extensive literature. Straka et al [11] point out in their paper that in simulation modelling the appropriate first step is the creation of a formalized structure, which can be converted into components of the used simulation software. Neradilova, H., & Fedorko, G. [12] describe the important role of computer simulation used in the Industry 4.0 systems.…”

Pullulan-Chitosan Coatings Onto Polyethylene Foils for the Development of Active Packaging Material

“…Both antimicrobial tests showed that sample (30% Pullulan + 9% Glycerol) + 1% Chitosan, with possible further improvements (optimization), could find application in active packaging. It must be pointed out that the functionalization process is technologically and economically suitable to be scaled up to actual production, while some process design 40,41 and cost aspects must still be studied. 42…”

Consumption Profile as a Base for Designing Res Using Simulation Tools

“…In the case of investing in the renovation of a house and a renewable energy source such as EPC, this is doubly true. In the case of a stable alternative source of energy, for example, based on the production and use of hydrogen, this problem is not so striking [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
