Improving the performance of manufacturing systems is the objective of management activities. The paper presents how this objective can be achieved by modeling and simulation. Base on the manufacturing process of the part support bush it is modeled the production line. Modeling is done using the TECNOMATIX PLANT SIMULATION program. Using the first model, by simulation, it was found that the resulting production after eight hours was relatively reduced: 28 pieces. Under these conditions, an additional welding post was introduced in the second model. It results in double the production and also in narrow places. The third model is designed in such a way that bottleneck is eliminated, and there is also an increase in production.
