Purpose: of this paper is to show the complexity of issues related to modern management of production systems. Furthermore, it presents in a coherent form principles and the nature of the so-called World Class Manufacturing model. While presenting the model a wide variety of problems to be solved has also been identified in order to achieve the expected results, which allow organizations to build a strong competitive position in the market. This is a timely issue due to the fact that the model gives a possibility to improve production management systems. Thereby, reliability and quality of production process and its flexibility is improved. This, in turn, greatly affects the competitiveness of businesses. It should be also emphasized that variability in the environment in which organizations operate forces them to continuous search for new organizational solutions and implementation of modern management-supporting tools. Design/methodology/approach: In order to achieve the aforementioned objectives literature studies on modern concepts of management were undertaken. Particular attention was paid to the production area. As a follow-up to literature studies a research was carried out in a number of companies that implemented some elements of the WCM model. As a results it was possible to get to know applied solutions, identified problems, achieved results, etc. Findings: As a result of literature studies one can come to a conclusion that there are many different methods and techniques supporting management processes. The study shows that managers use these tools extensively. The number of management-supporting tools is increasing. There is a growing awareness of employees that any kind of change is necessary Practical implications: The issue presented here is of great importance for the production practice. Ignoring rapid changes in the business environment and the need to adapt to them can weaken the competitive position in the market. What it all comes down to is that implementation of modern management models is necessary. Originality/value: A major advantage of this paper is to show the complexity of production system management. Different pillars of the World Class Manufacturing model show the diversity of issues to be tackled, diversity of models, tools and techniques.
