Abstract

This paper presents the causes of work time losses related to the human aspect as a result of human behavior which is a consequence of factors affecting it. It was shown that the Grey Systems Theory (GST) can also be applied to the analysis of work time losses in a multiagent production system The decision to choose GST for this purpose was also justified. The aim of the publication is to show that the Grey Systems Theory gives the possibilities of analyzing data that is incomplete, uncertain or too few and this type of information occur regarding work time losses in the multiagent production system.
