Contents: AGV system implementation needs a large amount of investment. Therefore, many approaches have been engaged in order to optimize AGV systems. Among these approaches simulation as a methodology for systems analysis has a paramount significance in the industrial world. In this study an AGV system has been simulated in a specified CIM unit. For evaluating this AGV system, a profit index based on sailing price and operation, transportation, inspection and warehousing costs have been applied. In this study, Visual Slam software been used to simulate the AGV system. Two strategies have been undertaken to select the machining station in order to sending primary parts. These two strategies are characterized with NNQ(I) and NNCNT(I) functions. Also these strategies have been compared using mentioned index. Since all industries should be coordinated in the supply chain, knowing of production cycle time distribution is very beneficial. Therefore an investigation on the production cycle distribution function has been implemented and revealed the existence of a Gamma distribution.
