IMPROVEMENT PROJECT OF PRODUCTION SYSTEM – A CASE STUDY
Abstract
The article presents an approach to the research project in the field of production engineering in the framework of cooperation between science and industry. The project was conducted in a manufacturing company of automotive industry that operates in Poland. The main objective of the project is to conduct value stream mapping, including development of current state map including the observation of the process of preparing and assembling two products, working out the documentation of observed production processes and developing charts to compare planned and observed working time. Based on the current state map some suggestions to improve production process “from door to door” of the company are demonstrated. Suggestions for improvement of the current state are presented on the future state map.
