Found that some researchers, giving a definition or emphasize on the technological aspects of the production process or its management, others – the idea of a system using a combination of the most important aspects of these characteristics. It is necessary to distinguish two major approaches to its definition: first – includes a set of basic concepts that characterize and describe the system; second – determines only the essence of the concept, which is the basis of economic and objectives, methods and principles defined separately.
