Abstract The article discusses the application of computer simulation in the optimization of production processes, particularly in the context of analyzing scenarios related to the addition of new production lines. The conducted research and simulations have shown that computer simulation is a key tool for precise modeling and analysis of various options, allowing for better understanding and optimization of production activities. The article presents the theoretical foundations of simulation along with practical examples of its application, focusing on assessing the impact of different production line configurations on the overall system’s efficiency. The analysis of benefits includes shortening the production cycle time, increasing flexibility, and improving operational efficiency. The challenges associated with implementing computer simulation, such as the need for specialized knowledge and the necessity for continuous updates of simulation models, are also discussed. Based on the research and analyses conducted, the article demonstrates that computer simulation is an effective tool supporting strategic and operational decision-making in production management, particularly in the context of expanding production infrastructure.
