Abstract

In this paper an application of Petri nets (Petri Nets – PN) is shown in the
modeling and simulation of the production process. Petri nets are graphically
mathematical tools that are suitable for modeling and projecting different
system types. The very approach to a system modeling by means of Petri
nets faithfully reflects the way events develop in the real world so that,
for Petri nets, it can be said that they have almost universal application.
Computer (PC) simulation is possible by means of the application of the
extended Petri nets both in model building and in designing the simulation
program routine. The program firstly checks the execution of preconditions
for one of the cycles to take place. This routine is cyclical and each cycle
corresponds to one time unit. After initiating any cycle, the state space
does not allow allocation of a new assignment on this entity until the time
interval anticipated for the cycle duration that is in progress has passed.
