| Popis: | The purpose of this paper is to report on research conducted to develop a simulation model which incorporates the basic MRP logic into the modelled production process. The objective of the modelling effort is to provide information necessary for planning and controlling of the material and capacity requirements of a production process that includes stochastic processes. The modelling and analysis procedure exploits the fact that the structure of the production process can be logically modelled as a network flow process. The technique employed to facilitate the network modelling is Q-GERT (Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique) modelling and simulation language. A case application is presented to demonstrate a prototype model, followed by a report of the simulation results. The model is designed to provide answers and insights to the following questions: (1) how long must each production centre operate to yield the specified quantities of finished products, (2) what is the expected lead time r... |
