Abstract

The philosophy of Lean production offers a wide variety of advantages. Lean production concept is understood as the realization of Lean principle through the efficient application of methods and tools, with faster and more effective discovering of wastes and mistakes in the production systems. This article contains a presentation of the simulation application on production process previously analyzed with Value stream mapping tool. The model was applied to a production line in the shipbuilding industry in Croatia. The production line current state is simulated with varying market requirements. Using Lean management tools, future improved state was developed and simulated. The simulation provides dynamic models with varying production performance results, unlike by applying only a Value stream mapping tool. During simulation runtime, adaptation of production process by varying resources assignment to continuous working cell was done to fulfill order requirements on time.
