Author(s): Vladimira BIŇASOVÁ, Libor KUBINEC

Abstract:
The article deals with possible approaches to the management of manufacturing organizations. The authors emphasize the need for integration of lean management with eco-innovation. This integration represents a sustainable development so that environmental impacts are reduced, more effective use of natural resources are achieved and production costs are reduced. Manufacturing organizations based on that approach must use so-called pull production control systems. Pull systems are most often presented in production management system - Kanban. The second part of this article deals with specification of these systems and development of pull strategies in production management in order to increase efficiency of manufacturing enterprise.
