The article discusses the problem of total waste separation in the frame of a computer simulation design of these systems. The aim of the article is to employ computer simulation, modelling and logistics for the needs of total separation of waste and its recycling into the form of raw materials and re-usable resources in practice. The results of the computer simulation show that by using total separation and waste recycling in the specifically analysed region, it is possible to produce approximately 7700 tons of recycled paper, 2400 tons of multilevel packages, 8000 tons of glass, 3000 tons of old textiles, 3500 tons of iron, approximately 1500 tons of non-ferrous metals, approximately 2700 tons of wooden pallets, approximately 1200 tons of rubber granulate, to process approximately 800 tons of dangerous waste, 2400 tons of electro waste, 2100 tons of gravel, 840 tons of sand and to liquidate approximately 3200 tons of non-recyclable waste during the whole year.

At present, AGV systems are an important part of numerous companies and their internal logistics systems. They are used to efficiently secure different types of transport processes in order to minimize operating costs. However, their reliable operation requires adequate setting and maintenance. Computer simulation is probably the most suitable option from a wide range of engineering methods with which to meet these requirements. This paper describes the development of a simulation model in the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation program to identify critical points of failure within a specific delivery process on the basis of a Milk Run system. Based on the results obtained, an appropriate solution was determined with which to make the whole process function more efficiently and reliably. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with the use of computer simulation approach in order to streamline production logistics within a specific production company. The computer simulation from its very beginnings has undergone a long and significant evolution. The current possibilities of computer simulation approach enable to mimic the real processes of production logistic activities as well as of the actual production. This article is focused on the question, how to effectively utilise the available tools of computer simulation approach to analyse and streamline a particular simulation system. Therefore also the presented solution is the actual description of a practical application of a computer simulation approach used for the needs of one specific production company within one specific industry area. The intention is to showcase the practical aspects of simulation modelling, in this case utilising the EXTENDSIM simulation system. The simulation approach will be used for the needs of a production company, that produces car components and accessories made of wood for the automotive industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
