Modelling Decision-Making Processes in the Management Support of the Manufacturing Element in the Logistic Supply Chain by Robert Bucki, Petr Suchánek

“…The two-stage criterion lets us use the result data generated by the simulator of the production system as the initial data for further processing; however, the main goal remains to minimise the time of the course of production. The precisely elaborated case study implements initial data obtained by preceding simulation procedures carried out in manufacturing systems consisting of three, four, and five subsystems.…”
