The Company Uniforest produces forestry machinery. Sheet metal cutting and bending is outsourced in cooperation with numerous suppliers. To optimise costs and production time, the company owners decided to invest in new production hall for the sheet metal laser-cutting and bending line. Extension of the welding department will also take approximately half of the new building. Both enlargements of the production activities will help fit the needs of growing market. Aim of this diploma thesis is to organize the work station set-up, warehouse capacities, and production routes network with disposal sites in the whole facility. Virtual simulation was used to predict the material flow of winch-frame welding, as the latter represent the best-selling product. Depending on the material flow chart, will propose four variants to compare and analyse. The aim of the production process simulation is to increase the productivity for 25% according to existent winch-production welding process.
