Abstract
Production efficiency is one of the most important problems for modern management, both at operational and strategic levels. Raising the level of production efficiency can be achieved in many ways. Ecological aspect is very often undervalued and even missed by the managers of a company, especially when they are small or medium sized. It needs to be mentioned that there is growing interest in environmental aspects not only in production companies or whole supply chains but also in policies of many countries in the world. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of environmental problem in production management and to propose indicators to assess the efficiency in eco-friendly production.
