Efficiency improvement of an assembly line by Lean methods

Abstract

In the article, I describe the abbreviated content of my report, which was ranked 2nd at the National Scientific Students' Associations Conference (OTDK), which summarized the results of my Lean-based process improvement experience gained during my work. First, I introduce the general methodology of Lean process improvement. Then practical problems are examined that arise in the real production process of a multinational company. After it, the identified problems – grouped into 3 main areas – are solved by Lean methods. The improvement suggestions have already been implemented in practice. The article is unique and practice-oriented, because it presents real industrial practical examples for process improvements carried out by Lean methods.
