Abstract
Problem Statement (Relevance). A feature of the quality management systems (QMS) process is the necessity to consider them from two points of view. One is the content of conversion realized in this process while the other is its compliance with ISO 9000 standards requirements. Therefore, QMS process can be studied at different levels: level of the production flow element (i.e. equipment), production flow level, level of the production flow management and level of production flows network. In order to QMS process digital twin to successfully increase process efficiency on each level by developing improvements its digital model need to comprise elements which correspond to the level of consideration. Objective and Methods Applied. The main objective of this paper is to develop such an approach to QMS process modelling that allows creation of models which elements correspond to the real process elements. This allows to match changes in the process model to those of the real process. System dynamics approach is being used to develop models which structure and behaviour are adequate to the real process. Results. The authors considered an issue of the model of production flow element (equipment) development. The production flow digital model adequate to production systems basic patterns is developed. This model became a basis for the development of the model of production flow management. Practical Relevance. An approach to the development of manufacturing process models is suggested that establishes specific requirements for the simulation models depending on the process improvement concept.
