Abstract: This paper is focused on the methods, which are used for planning, running and optimization of material flow. These methods are very important element of each production and company. There are several methods which are used, for example JIT (Just in Time), Kanban, TOC (Theory of Constraints), TQM (Total Quality Management), MRP (Material Resource Planning) etc. A selection of appropriate method affects largely production costs, efficiency and produced quantity. The most common methods used in planning, running and optimization of material flow are included the JIT and KANBAN methods. This paper highlights their main features, differences and use in the material flows issue. The paper solves the issue of the material flow monitoring in the intelligent assembly cell.
