Problem

What is a sufficient and what is a necessary condition for establishing a business environment that will support rapid economic growth and development and encourage innovation? This is the central question of economic development that every society, local, regional or national, must ask itself. (http://www.cubistinstitute.org/PCG/doc/Idealna_poslovna%20cona-1_NAL.doc) The business environment is changing significantly with globalisation and the emergence of the information society.

The changes are both in the business and market sense as well as in the political and legal sense. The success of companies' operations in such an environment depends to a large extent on their ability and speed of adaptation. This adaptation is, on the one hand, the domain of the state or the local political and economic environment, and on the other hand (primarily) the domain of companies. (http://www.zls-zveza.si/RL_Izvlecek_12_03_c.htm) There is no doubt that the global business environment has changed significantly in the last 15 years.

The rise of the internet, outsourcing, optimisation of the global supply chain and similar factors have affected not only all Slovenian companies but also all residents of Slovenia. The main task of a modern production function of a company is to create savings for the company. An economical and efficient production function can contribute greatly to the company's success.

Various influences today require every company to adapt promptly and timely to current conditions in the environment. The future belongs to the company that can offer innovative, high-quality and competitively priced products most quickly, with shorter development times. The survival of a company and its growth in conditions of global business depend on the excellence of strategy and the superiority of management tactics, innovative surpassing of competition, shortening of product development time, the ability of creative leadership and general development.

Market demands, such as significantly shortened delivery times for completely new products, pressure to reduce prices whilst simultaneously raising quality and product reliability, are causing major changes in the third millennium in relationships between customers and suppliers. The purpose of his diploma thesis is to present the production function and its role in the production company »X“, the logistics process that supports production, production planning, analysis of production and sales of pocket handkerchiefs for the period from 2002 to 2007, and to show improvements in the manufacture of pocket handkerchiefs in the new modern processing facility.

Doing the same things in the same way and expecting changes is an irrational activity. However, this too is a legitimate choice, as people are rational beings. We can decide for them, or we can choose not to.

We can also decide that they will act wisely, intelligently. Of course, other choices are also possible. When we look around us, we recognise a whole range of them, namely irrational acts, poor decisions, harmful actions.

Some prove to be such in the short term, others in the long term. Some we recognise immediately, for others we need more time. (Internal newsletter of company »X“, 2008) We can most easily change things, events and people around us by changing our own actions.

By doing so, we become active participants in the process of change. We simply cannot avoid the latter, as both the dynamics of change and their complexity, intricacy and demands in the modern world are ever increasing. Only a handful are given the ability to create these changes.

Some manage to keep up with the changes. The success of both individuals and companies is greatest where, through innovation, motivation, learning, modernisation, courage and high professionalism, they set the pace for all others. (Internal newsletter of company »X“, 2008) And where is the production company »X“ today?

The view from outside tells us that the company has one of the stronger brands in the field of fast-moving consumer goods both in the domestic market and in the traditional markets of Southeast Europe. The view from inside tells us that they have tradition, knowledge, rich experience, dedicated employees, exceptional paper-making tradition, quality products. They have the knowledge and capabilities to launch even the most modern production capacities in an extremely short time.

They therefore have a whole range of positive experiences from which it is worth extracting lessons for the future.

Results

They have proven many times that they can execute things, projects, products to perfection, excellently. And whoever can be excellent once can be excellent always! Therefore, the company must walk the path of greater efficiency and effectiveness.

For long-term success, however, the renewal of production processes is essential. In company »X“, they operate long-term, as the company has in the past missed numerous opportunities to achieve urgently needed modernisations of both technology and all other business processes. They shape their offer in accordance with the latest customer requirements, thereby also ensuring optimal customer satisfaction and loyalty in retail networks.

The fact is that consumers are eager for novelties and ever new added values. In company »X“, they continuously add them and thereby appropriately animate customers. With their own product development, careful and conscientious attitude towards the natural and social environment, 50-year tradition and quality standards, company »X“ today represents a reliable and stable long-term partner to enterprising retail chains that build long-term alliances with customers.

This too is their advantage, which they must exploit. They must do the right things in the right way. They must connect the joint efforts of everyone in the company and believe in success.

Other processes for greater efficiency of company »X“ as a comprehensive business system are also underway. Therefore, it is necessary to exploit the opportunities that are given to the company as a larger manufacturer of pocket handkerchiefs to maintain its position in the domestic and other traditional markets.
