Fig. 2 Integration of scattered data sources in the closed supply chain (Golinska 2010 )
Figure 2 shows information and procedural layer integrating the closed supply
chain. The suggested outline of integration allows for better integration of data and
information between individual phases of the life of a product, including the speci-
ficity of the sustainable management at the stages of procurement, production and
distribution. Such a concept enables to identify system connections and possible
feedbacks of the efficiency analysis of the production process including environ-
mental aspects.
4 Concept of Computerization of a Complex Analysis
of Production Process Efficiency
Using dedicated systems influences the time of the completion of decision mak-
ing in an enterprise by analytical assisting the evaluation of production process
efficiency. One should however remember, that multi-criteria efficiency analysis
forces generating data from information systems concerning processes occurring
in the enterprise as well as data generated in the whole supply chain. The ERP
system is a very effective source of honest information concerning the flow of
