Open Access Conference Proceedings

The aim of the contribution is to introduce the project and to point out the possibilities of using computer simulation for the needs of more effective production logistics. Like many other tools and methods, logistics also greatly contributes to maintaining the company's competitiveness and resilience to external factors such as the crisis, inflation, falling demand, and so on. One of the key methods for maintaining balance is material planning. The most significant group, which, at the same time, forms the most relevant part of the material flow are raw and other materials and corporate work in progress and finished products. All the types of working objects are used throughout enterprises in certain amounts, internal structure, direction and with certain frequency. For a better imagination of the production proces, concrete production of fireclay bricks, the simulation model as the project for the production of fireclay bricks was developed in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. As a basis for creating simulation served the model of the manufacturing process in the chamottera. Due to the high production capacities of the chamotary, it has been found that for the efficient production of a limited quantity and especially the firing of the building, a narrow place of the entire production process of the fireclay is the mill.
