Digital simulation is becoming a common tool for production management. The study considers a variant of digital simulation of the production programme for a machining section using the AnyLogic tool. The process of machining parts with a long production cycle is a new object of study. The specific model simulates the parallel launch of parts with a similar and long technological process on the same equipment. The simulation results were compared with actual data. Conclusions were drawn about the possibility of using the constructed model for the operational production planning.
