Computer simulation of manual assembly procedures verification of automotive components ABS using SW tool Plant Simulation.

The aim of simulation and verification is a creation of such optimized models, by which the process will be much more efficient, reduces the investment risk, continuous production time is truncated and maximizes the utilization of production resources, improves logistics flow and thereby increases overall productivity. Presented article deals with simulation experimentation and verification of manual assembly procedures. The object of examination is final assembly of electrical-engineering automotive part - ABS, which was realized in laboratory conditions. Simulation models designed and developed in this way could help designer to solve problems in process of manufacturing conditions for small batch production. When developing simulation models, simulation software Plant Simulation 1.10 was used. Designed and developed simulation models help solve problems in production process especially for conditions of medium-sized and small-lot production.
