This paper describes the evolution of production planning systems under the system dynamics approach. The structure, feedback loops and decision making process are analyzed under different “pull” & ”push” operation management techniques such as order point, base stock, MRP, KANBAN, etc. The study is made in chronological order, with the main objective being pointing out the procedures of controlling the system’s behaviour, arisen from the new production technologies development. Simulation results are presented for several cases.
