description Computer simulation is one of the tools that is often used to support activities related to the management of the production process. Computer simulation allows for the analysis of the parameters of production or logistics processes, among others. The study presents a comparative analysis of analytical methods and computer simulation (FlexSim 22.2.1 software) in relation to the subject matter. The use of computer simulation allowed for the verification of the number of production resources, determined by analytical methods, and for the proposal of improvements that would allow for shortening the duration of the production process and reducing its costs. The proposed improvements at the stage of planning the production process in terms of the number of production resources used to implement the assumed production plan allowed for the reduction of the duration of the production process and its costs. Therefore, it is justified to use computer simulation in solving problems related to various aspects of the functioning of an enterprise.
