Abstract

The paper presents results of the studies aimed at improving the production process by performing a reorganization of workstations. The purpose of this reorganization was to increase the rate of utilization of machines in the production process. The studies were carried out with the use of an IT package for modeling and simulation of production systems – ProModel. The paper describes a plan of optimization of the layout of workstations, which consists in grouping them into functional work centers and determining the best arrangement of the workstations using the Schmigalla method of triangles. The arrangement was assessed by comparing the simulation models prior to and after the reorganization.
