Urgent decisions on investments to be made to strengthen competitiveness are taken sluggishly in the production development area because no adequate methods for analysing and evaluating new development strategies and corresponding informatic concepts are available in the process of product development. Simulation technique has proved successful on many sectors as a tool to analyse complex dynamic systems, so that decisive findings may also be expected from the application of this methodology in the process of production development.
