processes, but thanks to collected information and connections with other systems
or dedicated systems an extended tool can come into existence. This tool could be
very useful for processing information inside a company and in cooperation with
the enterprise's business partners in supply chain (Kolinski and Fajfer 2011 ). In
order to ensure efficient communication between partners, there needs to be a uni-
versal, recognized by different information systems and tools assisting the man-
agement, format of data and information record.
The concept enabling integration of data coming from the enterprise and its
supply chain for the purpose of the production process efficiency analysis is pre-
sented in Fig. 3 .
Computer assisting of analyses and the evaluation of the production process
efficiency will depend on the reliability of the input coming from information sys-
tems. The input should be correlated between individual rungs of the management
and concern both a chosen strategy of the production management and resource
balancing, as well as technological and operating production factors (Kolinski
2012 ). The concept presented in picture 3 contains carrying out analyses both on
the basis of operational data generated from information systems, as well as by
making procedural simulations. This concept was based on Author's research
deliberations drawn up in the frames of the scientific research project 1 and was
used for creation of a IT tool supporting the efficiency analysis of the production
process. Taking into account efficiency aspects while creating the concept of logis-
tic processes' computer simulations allows to use one integrated database which
