The development of management/information system in small wood processing companies

In the contemporary economy, both the world market and new production methods impose fast development to small wood-processing firms. The modern world market demands products of wide and adaptable assortments, small and changeable quantities (frequently unique examples), and high quality, all facing severe competition. The concept of modern production philosophy may be realized by establishing smaller companies with more flexible, wide production programs. The market and new production methods impose fast development of the management information system in small wood-processing companies. Accordingly, the management system must create a more unified, faster and simpler work supported by information technology. The field of production management and business is exceptionally significant for all wood-processing companies. It can survive and progress only if it is being managed, provided that future behavior is predicted and accordingly directed. Proper choice of the suitable planning and production management system will lead the company toward higher efficiency. The paper illustrates a rational management/information system for small wood-processing companies, consisting of basic documents by which it is possible to control the production and business in such companies in more rational and efficient ways. Supported by information technology and software packages, this proposal can rationally control the whole logistic system of small wood-processing companies.
