Abstract
This paper presents results of research into computer simulation of a mixed-model assembly line. The problem to be solved is described and the mathematical model of the line is presented. Algorithms that provide acceptable sequences of product models in various conditions are given, and results of simulator experiments are analysed and discussed. In the final section of the paper conclusions are drawn from the results of the work, and the general usefulness of simulation for assembly work is considered.Keywords
