IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY OF TAPERED ROLLER BEARING BY USING PLANT SIMULATION.

The aim of this article is to create a simulation model of specific production system in Plant Simulation environment. The main production program that we monitor in this article is focused on the production of tapered roller bearings. Types of produced products are wide; therefore we focus attention on a material flow of one particular dimensional type of bearing. This article is divided into five parts. In the first part there is a theoretical overview of utilization of the system module Plant Simulation. The second part is focused on product that will be used for simulation process, concretely tapered roller bearing 32303A. Third part deals with analysis of simulated system model in Plant Simulation. Fourth section is oriented on proposal of monitored production system optimization in Plant Simulation and final fifth part is about benefits evaluation of the proposed solution.
