Strategies of Production Control as Tools of Efficient Management of Production Enterprises

Abstract

The paper discusses the problem of principle methods of production control as a strategy supporting the production system and stimulating efficient solutions in respect management in production enterprises. The article describes MRP, ERP, JIT, KANBAN and TOC methods and focuses on their main goals, principles of functioning as well as benefits resulting from their application. The methods represent two diverse strategies of production control, i.e. pull and push strategies. Push strategies are used when the plans apply to the first and principle part of production and are based on the demand forecasts. Pull strategies are used when all planning decisions apply to the final stage and depend on the actual demand or orders from customers.

What is significant for the Greater Bay Area is whether or not this system of decision-making is relevant and useful for the regional businesses, or if it is a model that is out of date or in need of a new paradigm such as a blended approach with intuitive decision-making.…”

“…They always pay attention to their performance and work together to improve performance and inventory status. Mateusz Budynek et al [9] combined the survey results and found that in the establishment of the JIT Kanban management system, everyone has clear responsibilities and positions, as well as their real-time situation and performance. Constantly constructing the exceptionhandling process, everyone can work more efficiently and contribute to the collective performance.…”
