Evaluation of Practical Application of Plant Simulation in the Form of Experiments/Procjena prakticne primjene simulacije postrojenja u obliku eksperimenata

This contribution deals with the simulation of manufacturing systems. Plant simulation is a modern instrument for optimizing factory production; however, the initial investment is high, especially for human resources, since the creation of a simulation model requires a lot of data from manufacturing, which needs to be analyzed and used as input into the simulation so that the simulation model is as close as possible to the real manufacturing system. Simulation enables changes to first be carried out in the simulation model and the defining of possible problems, through which in this case it is possible to avoid when introducing changes into an operation. The measure of effectiveness of using inputs is the productivity of a manufacturing system, and the aim of organization management is to monitor, analyze and improve a manufacturing system through optimizing for the purpose of increasing its efficiency, ensuring higher quality and a higher volume of production, shortening supply time in the scope of transportation, improving logistics and increasing the profitability of the given organization.
