Abstract
The paper is focused on the possibility of implementation the simulation of the production process into the education process. Recently, emphasis has been placed on digitizing the production process, using Industry 4.0 and, last but not least, optimizing and minimizing production times. The paper is organized as follows into two sections. Section 1 describes the concrete possibilities of implementation the simulation software and Sect. 2 describes the evaluation of results on a concrete example from production process. After defining the same input data for 4 types of rolling bearings (production times, material flow and Gantt chart), the variety of simulation was followed in order to achieve an optimal distribution of production, transport and storage ratio in the 50:30:20 range. Due to the application of the simulation students are taught how to benefit of a thorough analysis of production process, and all the time the students are very close to the real work environment of the production company.
