Identification and analysis of problems occurring in complex machine-building company production systems is a very crucial stage in the process of improving these systems. Effective production systems nowadays are a key to the success for this type of companies. On the basis of production system problem identification and analysis tools known from the subject literature (among others ASIS model, Ishikava (fishbone) diagrams, impact wheels, current reality tree, risk assessment mapping tools (FMEA), cause and effect diagrams), the Authors of this paper proposed their author's identification and analysis framework of problems occurring in machine-building enterprise production systems. The proposed tool is a specific hybrid of solutions known from the literature. This tool has been developed and successfully used within the frames of a project aimed at improving the production system of one of the Polish biggest machine building's sector manufacturer. Problem identification and analysis framework of production systems in machine-building companies developed within this project has been called Production System Virus Analysis (PSVA) for the reason of results presentation specific character. In this paper basic assumptions and methodology of the tool developed by the Authors have been included. Additionally, in the practical part the Authors present an example of PSVA adoption for problem identification and analysis in the production system of one of the Polish biggest machines building company.

Modelling of virtual production networks

Nowadays many companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), specialize in a limited field of production. It requires forming virtual production networks of cooperating enterprises to manufacture better, faster and cheaper. Apart from that, some production orders cannot be realized, because there is not a company of sufficient production potential. In this case the virtual production networks of cooperating companies can realize these production orders. These networks have larger production capacity and many different resources. Therefore it can realize many more production orders together than each of them separately. Such organization allows for executing high quality product. The maintenance costs of production capacity and used resources are not so high. In this paper a methodology of rapid prototyping of virtual production networks is proposed. It allows to execute production orders on time considered existing logistic constraints.

The main task of food packaging is to protect the product during storage and transport against the action of biological, chemical and mechanical factors. The paper presents packaging systems for food of animal origin. Vacuum and modified atmosphere packagings were characterised together with novel types of packagings, referred to as intelligent packaging and active packaging. The aim of this paper was to present all advantages and disadvantages of packaging used for meat products. Such list enables to choose the optimal type of packaging for given assortment of food and specific conditions of the transport and storing.
