Abstrakt: Storage is one of the primary activities of manufacturing enterprises. Mainly, enterprises deal with the storage of piece materials, but there are also production processes using bulk materials. For this material, enterprises need to create specific storage areas - buffers. The first activity before creating a buffer is determining the nature of its filling and emptying, which affect the main parameter of buffers, namely capacity. Specifically, it is necessary to know the hourly performance of the filling equipment, the method and speed of emptying, and the type and capacity of the means of transport into which the material is loaded. The simulation software brings a modern touch to the years-proven procedures for determining the capacity of bulk material buffers and speeds up the process. In the paper, simulation replaces the previous approaches to creating graphic outputs, which check the mathematical part of the algorithm and visualize the behaviour of the buffer in specific situations. The result of the use of simulation is the rapid creation of graphs of material supply and easy checking of several options through experimentation with the simulation model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
