Abstract

Growing expectations of clients, who demand products adapted to their individual needs is inducing the development of batch processes. The author developed a model of batch processes rating based on the following criterions: • Economical criterion applies to evaluation of the productions’ cost levels connected with the process subjected to analysis and necessary investment funds. • Ecological criterion is about means of natural environment protection, utilization and segregation of wastes and usage of various media. This criterion is about social responsibility of companies. • Social criterion concerns working conditions (ergonomics on work centers), requirements on personnel qualifications and satisfaction from work - rated for example by measuring absence at work or with survey. • The market criterion is about evaluation if the product or additional services meet clients’ individual needs and if the prices and time between the product beening ordered and delivered to the client are elastic. It is about evaluation of product based on clients’ point of view. • Technological criterion, which concerns implementation of production process course, is based on machines’ work and production workers’ work evaluation. • General development criterion allows the evaluation of a companies’ state not only by measuring fulfilled production processes, but by its general condition as well. • Planning criterion is related to fulfilling general production schedules, which is one of the main targets of production control For each criterion the authors performed selection of indicators, which enable evaluation of the process. Developed conception allows performing complex and synthetic evaluation of batch processes.
