The modelling and simulation method in computer aided cooperation

This paper presents a possibility of applying a modelling and simulation technique in designing a logistic chain in production enterprises. A new approach, based on simulation technique, together with utility function for partnership selection in cooperative production is the main element of the study. The work is oriented at practitioners, who use methods and ways of data exchange in cooperation and create new computer systems aiding in production cooperation. The capacity of simulation technique is illustrated by practical examples.
