The use of computer simulation in the company that carries out the assembly of products

Abstract The paper deals with the implementation of computer simulation in the assembly company in terms of an innovative solution for new production planning, optimization of workplaces and cost-effectiveness. By computer simulation, three variants of the layout of a new assembly workplace created by the company were assessed. The computer simulation verified whether the variants of the new assembly workplace meet the specified requirements. Subsequently, a variant was selected that met the specified requirements and was recommended to the company. After the assembly workplace was realized, an experiment was carried out using the final assembly worker. During the experiment was identified the use of the final assembly worker and suggested variants with the use of the worker, which were subsequently simulated. During the experiment was identified the use of the final assembly worker and were created variants with the use of the worker, which were subsequently simulated. Based on the simulation results, a variant with a higher percentage of worker use was selected. The result of the presented solution was to make the use of wage costs per worker more efficient. The results from computer simulation allowed the company to make judgments about the possibility of investing in the purchase of simulation software or the use of parametric models created by external companies.
