Production management within the concept of digital enterprises of wood-processing and furniture production

Prerada drva i proizvodnja namještaja velika su šansa Hrvatske za izlazak na međunarodno tržište. Osim prirodnih prednosti sadržanih u kvaliteti drva svjetske klase, Hrvatska ima i tradiciju te iskustvo i tehnološko znanje u proizvodnji poluproizvoda i finalnih proizvoda. Za konkurentni izlazak i opstanak na međunarodnom tržištu potrebno je podići razinu logističke potpore pripremi proizvodnje i proizvodnji radi boljeg iskorištenja drva i drvnih materijala, smanjenja gubitaka vremena u razvoju i usvajanju novog proizvoda, pripremi proizvodnje, i osobito smanjenju vremena protoka kroz proizvodnju. U radu su prikazani rezultati ostvareni u razvoju i primjeni sustava upravljanja proizvodnjom, razvijenoga na teorijskim postavkama JIT (Just In Time) i MRPII (Manufacturing Resource Planning) japanske i američke proizvodne filozofije, ugrađenoga u ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) sustav u poduzećima za preradu drva i proizvodnju namještaja. Na taj su način ostvarene pretpostavke za razvoj digitalnog poduzeća za preradu drva i proizvodnju namještaja.Wood processing and furniture production represent a big chance for Croatia to enter the international market. Besides the natural advantages such as world-class quality of wood, Croatia also has the tradition, experience and current technological knowledge in production of semi-manufactured products and final products. In order to enter and survive at the competitive international market it is necessary to increase the level of logistics support for production preparation and production in order to increase the use of wood and wood material, to decrease time loss during development and acceptance of the new product and during production preparation, and especially to decrease time required for production. This paper deals with the results achieved during the development and application of the production management system that was based on theoretical principles of JIT (Just In Time) and MRPII (Manufacturing Resource Planning) Japanese and American production theory and integrated in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system in wood processing and furniture production enterprises. In this way, the prerequisites are created for the development of the digital enterprise in wood processing and furniture production
