Performance Evaluation of the Production Control Systems of Push and Pull Type

Abstract:

In the article there was undertaken an attempt to assess the functioning of the production control systems based on the analysis of selected companies of widely understood metal industry. Based on the literature as well as own research there was carried out comparative analysis of selected pull and push systems. There were described conditions, which must be met by production system, that a given method bring expected results and guarantee the achievement of measurable benefits resulting from improving the organization of the flow of materials and information. Carried out analysis indicates differences in key areas and draws attention to the conditions, which should be met by production environment that a given system can function properly.
