Use of Lean Production to Improve Efficiency of the Assembly Process

Abstract:

The article presents the analysis of an actual assembly process of a motoreducer oriented towards the improvement in the process efficiency. The research was carried out on the basis of observation of an assembly workstation, measurements of realization time of particular operations, and the FMEA method. On the basis of the research specific changes were proposed; they contribute to shorter realization time of operations and to elimination of identified possibilities of error occurrence. Lean Production/Manufacturing was characterized and described, and benefits from the proposed changes were estimated.
