To achieve the planned goal, in order to properly describe the manufacturing system management, six process stream functions were introduced. Non-dimensional flows of these functions in time can be empirically defined during the manufacturing process. They are interpreted as non-dimensional expenses. Maximum values for these functions in properly-managed processes equal one. Also, a global management function was introduced, being a sum of areas of circle sections delineated by functions of the streams and their respective weights. Stream weights in the manufacturing process signify the processes’ roles and importance in the system. The paper also provides a vector representation of a manufacturing process as a sum of stream vectors with their associated weights.
