Summary/Abstract: Improvement of the product flexibility, which is the result of the organization learning process, is an important factor of the growth of its value. Thus, according to the authors, it becomes essential to establish certain guidelines – indicators that allow to control and evaluate the flexibility. In the context of the above, it becomes essential to carry out research and analysis in the framework of which the authors: a) will initiate a discussion of the topic of improvement of the organization’s competitiveness, including query of the related literature, remaining in direct relation to the research subject, b) will propose an evaluation index of flexibility of the product, according to the adopted criteria where price, quality, timing, size of the batch and the payment terms are its key agents, c) will develop methodologies for assessing the flexibility of the manufacturing plant from the perspective of the recipient – the potential ordering party, and d) will verify the adopted method of flexibility evaluation in the practice of manufacturing facilities, analysing the processes of implementation of a specific product.
