EN The subject of this paper is the simulation study into the improvement of the production process of floorboard middle layer. The object of our interest in the manufacturing process of wooden floorboard which consists of three layers: lower—made of softwood pieces glued together; middle—in a form a module, made of softwood slats and plywood, and hardwood upper layer. The process improvement involved a better use of raw materials in the form of plats (of variable dimension groups) by reducing losses caused by defects such as wane and knots. A simulation model of the manufacturing process was created by using DES software. Thanks to that model, buffers size and a performance of the designed systems including their anticipated breakdowns were estimated. As a result of the study, a concept of the entire production system meeting the requested production capacity and material efficiency was devised.
