Abstract

The aim of the article is to present performance metrics and indicators of a production-logistics system at the operational level and their use for evaluation purposes in simulation experiments carried out in Simulation Software. The authors reviewed logistics and production system performance metrics and indicators as arranged in the category of flow and stock management. A survey questionnaires served as a basis for investigating the evaluation of logistics and performance systems (a system of metrics and indicators) with a view to identifying the ways in which the requirements of companies could be met in this respect, i.e. how they have a real impact on the decision-making process (research sample—372 enterprises surveyed on the operational and tactical level). The final part of the chapter demonstrates the authors’ evaluation system its and modeling in Simulation Software. In the conclusion, the authors offer guidelines on how to capture and analyze the results of simulation experiments to be able to satisfy the requirements of competition-driven market.
