Während sich das Verhalten starr verketteter Systeme relativ einfach mittels Materialflusssimulationen modellieren lässt, sind herkömmliche Simulationsansätze für flexible Fertigungssysteme aufgrund des hohen Datenerhebungs- sowie Parametrisieraufwands nur bedingt geeignet. Jedoch kann durch das automatische Übertragen von Echtzeitdaten in das Simulationsmodell der aktuelle Zustand solcher Systeme deutlich verbessert abgebildet werden. Der Beitrag stellt ein Konzept für die simulationsgestützte Produktionsplanung schnellveränderlicher Systeme vor.   While the behaviour of rigidly linked systems is relatively easy to model by means of material flow simulation, traditional simulation approaches are only suitable to a limited extent for flexible manufacturing systems due to the high data collection and parameterization effort. However, the use of real-time data can significantly improve the simulation of such systems. This paper presents an approach for simulation-based production planning of rapidly changing systems.

This paper is focused on the methods, which are used for planning, running and optimization of material flow. These methods are very important element of each production and company. There are several methods which are used, for example JIT (Just in Time), Kanban, TOC (Theorie of Constraints), etc. A selection of appropriate method affects largely production costs, efficiency and produced quantity. For the laboratory of flexible manufacturing systems with robotized manipulation supported by no drawing production were compared several methods and on the based their advantages, disadvantages and suitability of use was selected the most appropriate method of planning, running and optimization of material flow.
