Purpose - This paper presents the use of a software, created by the authors, that allows simulations of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) using Game Theory (GT), tracing the importance coefficients influence on the typological nucleus structure and on the games value. Methodology/approach - To determine the importance coefficients influence on the structure of a typological nucleus and on the games value, the simulation technique is used, using "Simulare. cpp" software, that embeds GT algorithms. Findings - After running the program, the importance coefficients influence on the games value and on the structure of the typological nucleus will be determined. It must be mentioned that along with ABC Analysis and Electre Method, GT can be accepted as a typological nucleus determination method, having a strong focusing character upon the production load. Research limitations/implications - The program "Simulare" is an integral part of "Nucleus" program, along with "Affinitas" subprogram, the latter allowing an automatic determination of the utility matrix, concordance matrix and affinity matrix. Practical implications - This research offers an insight on how the importance coefficients, specific to the production load determination criteria, are determined, offering for the systems analyst an overview of the investigated issue. Originality/value - The developed software application enables an extensive analysis, from the input data matrix, of how a random inputs FMS operates and of the importance coefficients, specific to the selection criteria, influence on the typological nucleus and on the games value.
