چکیده
The changing business environment in which manufacturers are acting creates the need for more effective production processes planning and control methods that are able to deal with uncertainties inherent in internal processes and external deliveries. The aim of the paper is to introduce the method for production planning and control applicable in conditions of supply chain (SC) able to overcome the limitation of standard MRP/ERP systems in changing environment. Conceptual framework for the method involves the hybrid solutions combining the advantages of MRP simple logic and theory of constrains (TOC) ability to synchronize all production and material flow in supply chain. Authors discuss how application of TOC buffers monitoring procedures can help to improve the control of synchronized production and material flow in supply chain. Finally paper presents application of elaborated method for creation of an agentbased system that integrate the parties involved in supply chain.
