Anotace: In today's digital world, there is a need to apply advanced simulation tools in business practice in order to create value-chain within

the product lifecycle. Simulation programs are important, especially in the process of design, analysis and optimisation of production and
logistics systems. They enable changes to existing production systems by way of experimenting, which is it is a great advantage. One of
a number of simulation applications are modules from portfolio Siemens PLM Software. The present article deals with the optimisation of
logistics flow through the application of the selected module Tecnomatix Process Simulate, with an effective use especially in the automotive
industry. The importance of such an application is mainly in the execution and evaluation of specific changes in production systems in a
virtual environment without any impact on actual production. In the present article, the case study identifies the practical use and
possibilities of the simulation tool Tecnomatix Process Simulate for material flow optimisation, inter-operational transport and material
handling in company oriented in leather processing for the automotive industry. The result is a simulation of proposed changes which
increase the efficiency of logistic flows, the creation of a 3D model of the proposed solution, and quantification of achieved results of
optimisation. Application of applied module represents one of the first steps of transformation the selected company to a digital company.
