The use of simulation program in the production of parquet and wooden floor - case study

Motion and time study is part of the process planning which defines operation sequencing before the physical manufacturing of a product. It is a tool for the standardization, in this case the time needed for a single product manufacturing. Manufacturing time can be described as and divided into preparatory-finishing time, auxiliary time and machining time. Machining time depends on technical possibilities of available machine tools, while other two depend on human and work organization within the company. Accurately defined time standards and norms enable accurate production planning as well as the monitoring of workers' productivity and possibilities of their personal upgrade for the achievements. In this paper the use of simulation software in motion and time study will be described, rather than traditional manual methods. Its benefits will be proven on the case study, by simulation of line for making grooves in parquet and wooden floor. The bottlenecks will be identified and improvements of the production process will be suggested.
