The aim of this paper is to analyse the possibilities and benefits provided by the use of the modelling and simulation method in production management with particular emphasis on System Dynamics (DS) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES). The presented analysis led to the conclusion that the modelling and simulation method, regardless of the approach used, should be one of the most important methods supporting production management. Its primary strength lies in enabling the tracing of complex processes, which in reality last for several weeks, months, or years, within a few minutes, and consequently, testing multiple decision variants before implementing them. However, it should be noted that building a simulation model is time-consuming and requires extensive knowledge of the process under study, mathematical skills, and a good understanding of the software used to carry out the simulation project.
