Market oriented approach to the production management on the operational level

The background of the paper is the observation of the market tendency and producer constraints which lead to lean production/manufacturing and management. Presented approaches and solutions are the result of the author and her team and integrates three different original systems such as PROEDIMIS, SWZ and KbRS. A number of analytical and simulation models dealing with the problem of system performance prediction and verification, fail when addressing the issue of performance evaluation of a whole system where performance depends on the synchronization of their interactions. From the control perspective it is more appropriate to define a specification for some new desired behavior, and determine whether the specification can be met through a set of controllable events [1,2]. A problem of multiassortment and multi-version production planning and control is presented and the method and support systems are described in the paper.
