The authors performed ABC/XYZ analysis (logistical criteria of the segmentation), analysis of technological similarity coefficient in terms of process times in both horizontal and vertical terms. A statistical software has been used for analysis purposes. Then the selected data have been used in the simulation of production-logistics process (FlexSim 7 Simulation Software) for multi-department companies with diversified customer service strategies. The validation of the methodology was based on an analysis of the correlation between the indicators adopted for the evaluation of simulation results with the results of statistical analysis.
