Abstract

To achieve a high logistical performance, adjustments in production structure are inevitable. The impact of structural changes however remains unclear. To investigate the effects of changes concerning production structure on logistical targets, the use of simulation models is possible. In this paper, we propose an approach for dynamically generating simulation models of production structures using structural and parametrical input data. The resulting model can be used to investigate various aspects and problems regarding production structure which is exemplified by a case study evaluating the performance of changes in production structure. The results are displayed in company specific characteristic curves showing the degree of logistic target achievement and the total amount of costs depending on a structural indicator.
