Abstract

Investigated methods for optimizing manufacturing operations are diverse as the theories and hypotheses that have developed over time. There have been different types of studies, using different methods, theories and hypotheses. All aimed at determining what the best methods would be more or less impact on the further optimization of processes and operations in manufacturing companies. This paper concludes that at least there are 8 methods that are most used to optimize operations and in this study are shown which ones are used most frequently and which are used moderately and which never used by the respondents. And depending on the situations to optimize, you can identify and / or develop different algorithms for optimization of operations (in companies, manufacturing and supply chains). And some examples of applications are shown.
