The production system is composed of interrelated subsystems, as is understood that the production as a result of an activity derived from a set of functions or efforts employed. Flexibility, integration of new technologies and alignment with the demands of the market reflect its multidimensionality and complexity. The aim of this paper is to analyze the functioning of the productive system of a company's mining industry in southernBrazil, seeing how there actions have contributed to the prevailing organizational competitiveness. Methodologically, this is an exploratory-descriptive, in the form of case study, in which data from the bibliographic and documentary research, interviews and observation, and analyzed qualitatively. The results infer company could expand the scope and maximize the actions already being practiced successfully, for example, mitigation of environmental impacts, decreased and increased health hazard, continuous improvement from product and process innovations. Moreover, the adoption of structured procedures for planning and control, study the layout and the field of production cycles, would contribute more assertive for the factors of results.

Creativity is the hallmark of art, and artists are increasingly a source of inspiration for entrepreneurs world-wide.Miha Pogacnik's unique contribution stems from this new consciousness, the need for creativity, imagination and perfection in business. Time after time, his input in countless business conferences has been magnificent, unexpected and unique. Through music and art, Miha Pogacnik ignites a new force in us, the power of rising above our old selves in perceiving problems and opportunities in an entirely new light, and thus striking in new directions.

Structured Questionnaire

The main objective of this research study is to investigate the extent to which knowledge management is used within the mining industry. Knowledge management includes the identification and examination of available and required knowledge and the subsequent planning and control of actions to develop knowledge assets to accomplish organizational objectives. A structured questionnaire is used for the study. A total of 300 mines were randomly selected from a research population of mining organizations in South Africa, Africa and globally. The respondents were all part of senior management. A response rate of 64% was achieved. A significant number of respondents indicates that there is no transfer of knowledge about the best practices within their organizations. Some of the participants indicate that their organizations do not have the required technical infrastructure to enable knowledge sharing whilst some agree that the culture in their organizations is not conducive to the sharing of knowledge. A statistically and practically significant positive relationship with a large effect is found between the construct of knowledge management and perceived business performance. The mining organizations in Africa are ranked the lowest in terms of applications of knowledge management principles

And Control

At the moment, many engineer-to-order manufacturers are under pressure, the overcapacity in many sectors erodes prices and many companies, especially in Europe have gone into recent years in bankruptcy. Due to the increasing competition as well as the new customer requirements, the internal processes of an ETO company play an essential role in order to achieve a unique selling proposition (USP). Therefore this paper exposes how the production planning and control of an engineer-to-order manufacturer can be designed in order to increase its OTD (order-to-delivery) rate as well as decrease the WIP (work-in-progress) and the production lead times. To prove the optimized planning logic, it was applied in a simulation case study and based on the results; the conclusions about its potential are derived.

The paper describes one practical implementation of the Digital Factory concept – design of a new production line using modern planning method of virtual testing and control of processes. The project covered graphical facility design, detailed design of operations and material flow simulation. This case study shows facility process planning, commission and in the end finding the optimization rules and corrective actions to increase existing casting line throughput. All phases of the project were carried out using simulation software, duration of the project was 6 months. Simulation software WITNESS has been used for material flow simulation.
