Validation of simulation model of the filling line failures / Walidacja modelu symulacyjnego uszkodze?? linii nape??niania

摘要

The main objective of the article is to present the methodology of validating a simulation model of failures of serial production line. In case of the investigated object, the simulation model was tested to find technological solutions which could compensate for the impact of failures on the operation of important objects present on the line before a failures occurs. A possible solution may be to introduce a new buffer or to adjust the size of existing buffers. Validation is one of the most significant stages in the process of constructing simulation models, as it concerns the credibility of the model. The article presents the use of disturbances modeling, especially breakdowns and micro-stoppages, in the simulation model. It also shows the statistical distribution applied in the model and defines the validation measurement instrument as well as evaluation criteria. All these features are the major strengths of the article.
