Abstract
The chapter presents issue of influence of everyday activity of manufacturing enterprises on the environment. Authors draw attention to how great impact on the state of the environment have decision taken by production managers. Special attention is drawn to, inter alia, redundant transport during production processes and also generation of waste during production. In the chapter methods of production flow control are presented and compared them in terms of impact of the result of using it on the environment. In group of methods which are discussed are methods of family MRP - material requirements planning (MRP I), manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) and enterprise resource planning (MRP III / ERP). It is also analyzed optimized production timetable (OPT) and the Japanese methods of production flow control (JIT, KANBAN). At the end of article indicate of those methods of production flow control which are least harmful to the environment.
