The Operational Validation of a Planning Process Integration Model in a Manufacturing Company

摘要

The article aims at verifying the possibility of implementing the authors' own operational validation method to assess a planning process integration model in a manufacturing company. The applied operational validation method is applicable to other research methods known in management sciences: process modelling and simulation. A new aspect of this work is the operational validation of a model, which was qualitatively described by means of quantitative methods. The process modelling method was a method used to translate the qualitatively described model to conditions in which the operational validation was possible to be performed by means of quantitative methods. The model of integrating planning processes in manufacturing companies was selected to be a research subject. Apart from presenting the mere method of the model operational validation, the accuracy of describing particular planning process integration levels at the same time is controlled.
