Many manufacturing companies, which hitherto satisfied their customers while operating specific production systems, were recently obliged to reconsider because of the potential superiority of other \u201cmanufacturing philosophies\u201d. In the literature, we meet a great variety of production systems and manufacturing philosophies, while, on the other side, in industry we usually find different combinations of \u201cprimary\u201d productions systems. In this paper, we present the existing \u201cstate\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art\u201d theoretical and experiential knowledge about productions systems, as well as describe their basic characteristics in a useful, exact and comprehensive way for practitioners and software houses who want to have a knowledge base for further research and practical implementation in the wider field of production management, planning and scheduling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570110390170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,29]],"date-time":"2004-09-29T15:42:59Z","timestamp":1096472579000},"page":"185-193","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["An elaborate analysis of production systems in industry: what a consultant should know"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Kostas S.","family":"Metaxiotis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kostas","family":"Ergazakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"John E.","family":"Psarras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012220110194500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ang, D.
