Review article

The article considers the process of reinforced concrete slabs production at a small enterprise. The authors present the results of analysis of the currently existing software products on the market allowing performing the simulation of the production process. It is shown that for a small enterprise, which is just beginning its activity, applying the principles of the process approach, it is sufficient to have a system that allows to create a model of the process in the selected notation with a possibility of specifying the parameters of the process and obtaining a model-based unloading in the required format. It is substantiated that such functions can be performed using the Microsoft Visio Pro application. The stages of production process modeling are described. The described method of modeling the production process is recommended for the introduction at domestic enterprises, based on their production capacity, the number of staff members, the features of manufactured products and the availability of resources.
