The problems are illustrated with model constructions and simulational calculations worked out on the basis of selected enterprises of Polish and the U.S.S.R.. machine industries. The author advises the economists to increase their interest in the dialogue experiments "man — machine" on real production system models in order to: discover their bottle-necks and organizational shortcomings, describe directions, of the system developement, analyse its previous functioning, improve management decision making and eliminate the direct experimenting on economic systems
