In this post, the simulation is analysed, which positively influences the production process. Through simulation, it is possible to identify deficiencies found in different workplaces. Initially, the most familiar simulation software is used, which is used to create different types of simulations. The Witness system is described in more detail by simulation and subsequent results. The basic step before the simulation is to determine the data that enters the simulation. The workplace is composed of three basic workplaces that are contained in a number of machines. There is a conveyor between these workplaces, which ensures the transport of parts throughout the entire production hall. The result of this analysis is to evaluate the efficiency of each workplace and possible suggestions to increase the productivity of the entire process that are displayed using graphs.
