Purpose: This paper describes the project of developing the model of a high speed production system. Design/methodology/approach: High speed production systems involve significant investment and are sensitive to change. It is important to have a plan before changing the facility to minimize risks. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to develop a simulation model of the manufacturing process so that the system efficiency under different conditions can be evaluated. Findings: The investigation included evaluation of optimal system performance based on machine specifications and values obtained over a period of observation. Practical implications: These values were used to generate a simulation model and tested under different conditions. Four of the six recommendations were immediately accepted by the management while the two remaining recommendations were further investigated to clarify anticipated benefits. Originality/value: This model is simulated in a discrete simulation environment and is based on values obtained from the actual production process. The effect of changing the conditions and compatibility of the system to increased work and reduced waste can be visualized.
