Abstract
Abstract The article presents the simulation model and simulation experiments aimed at the rationalisation of bottle necks in operations in terms of the capacity utilisation of the material handling equipment, in particular, six conveyance lines. The models and experiments were designed in the Tecnomatix simulation environment which facilitates the modelling of even more complex systems. The simulation model visualises the material flow within the production process comprising individual technological operations and workplaces. The model was used to perform simulation experiments with adjusted production times and added or removed workplaces. The presented article also contains the graphs of the utilised capacity of the machinery and operators. The obtained experimental results suggesting the partial or complete elimination of the accumulation of unfinished products.
Highlights
Prompt responses of accomplishments to various customer requirements, shortening delivery times, as well as on-time deliveries of required materials create the competition among companies and uncertainty on the market

Summary
Prompt responses of accomplishments to various customer requirements, shortening delivery times, as well as on-time deliveries of required materials create the competition among companies and uncertainty on the market. Companies begin to offer highquality products, and comprehensive service packages [1]. Such service packages include simulations of the effects of various decisions in a simulation model. The purpose of the presented research was to create an appropriate simulation model. Simulation experiments were aimed to remove idle times of the lines and to facilitate the smooth flow of the production transport and handling processes. The aim of the article is creation a simulation model and conduction some experiments for rationalisation of narrow spaces in operations in terms of the capacity utilization of the material handling equipment.
