Just in sequence delivery improvement based on Flexsim simulation experiment

Nowadays, automotive industry is focused at satisfying at maximum individual demands of the consumers. It is related with a wide range of offered products, which becomes a challenge for logistics. Limited space around an assembly line, necessity for assuring continuity of production, high costs of storing stock and storage space force people to use JIS delivery. This kind of delivery is a complex process, which depends on many factors such as tact time, quantity of parts in transport container, etc. It opens possibilities for using different kinds of technology, e.g. computer simulation. Present paper shows the example application of simulation in logistics process. The main problem to solve was the quantity of containers in sequencing delivery process of car windows. Article presents the problem definition, structure of build model, tool construction and some of the experiments which were made on the simulation model.
