The article deals with the issue of modularity as a tool for flexible and efficient production systems. When having closer look at implemented terms in production structures there emerges amount of terms used, such as: flexible, modular, modular manufacturing systems, which are often viewed from a subjective point of view. Due to efforts to standardize and clarify the terms referred above this paper brings definitions of flexible production structures terminology, their relationships and new idea for the efficient division.
