Abstract

The paper presents a concept of an IT tool for assessing manufacturing processes in automotive industry, which is based on a sequence block quality indicator. The background of researches is presented and distributed IT environment in context of Just-in-Sequence concept is described. The concept of sequence block quality and calculating solution are explained. IT application in distributed manufacturing environment is presented. Finally conclusions and future works are stated.
