Abstract: This paper describes an object-oriented simulation approach for the design of a production system that is primarily focused on data exchange between system models of one manufacturer. Article deals with Plant Simulation software utilization for production systems modelling. The paper emphasizes the option of production process optimization and data exchange between models. Also the model can be utilized to predict the production sequence in a short period of time. There is also emphasized the global point of view to optimization of a system. The simulation issue is solved by fundamental construction of system models, which require data exchange. Furthermore the model functions for data exchange in Plant Simulation are programmed. The contribution that we described in this article is the introduction of the possibilities of simulation programs for production optimization.
