The Master's Thesis reviews the application of Lean management methods in the healthcare sector. The theoretical section describes the background of Lean process management - its history, principles, methods and tools. The methods currently used to manage processes in the healthcare sector are then described. The practical section of the thesis tests whether these processes could be improved by implementing a Lean methodology. A project was undertaken in a healthcare centre where the principles, tools and methods described in the theoretical section were applied. The project consisted of five phases, according to DMAIC cycle. The conclusion of the Master Thesis summarises the findings and results which evidence the improvement of the processes in this specific healthcare centre after the implementation of a Lean methodology.

The aim of this work is to analyze the effectiveness of processes and administration in a particular project in the company of engineering sector and to suggest possible measures to help the company become lean. The theoretical part presents the issue of lean management, describes its history and basic elements, corporate culture and also the philosophy of the Toyota Production System. This thesis also describes in detail particular methodological tools, including Kaizen philosophy, furthermore there is mentioned the theory of lean office. The practical part begins with introduction of the company and with the analysis of the current situation of innovation activities in the company. In the next chapter, there is described in detail the project in production shop, waste analysis and overall project analysis is made. The following is a summary of outputs, evaluation of the state and proposal of measures for the future periods.

This diploma thesis concerns lean administration methods for improving administration processes.

The diploma thesis describes practical usage of Lean Enterprise and Six sigma tools in Honeywell Brno o. z. The aim of this diploma thesis is to demonstrate Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma tools like one of the most effective tools of continous improvement in production.

The diploma thesis is focused on proposal of internal production supply in the Walter Ltd. The company is undergoing changes in the production layout and therefore it is necessary to design a new system of production supply. The theoretical part focuses on Toyota production system and methods used in this system. Next part of the theoretical part is dedicated to lean management and lean manufacturing. The last point of theoretical part are supplying and material handling. The theoretical part is basis for analytical part in which is mapped the current state of supplying production lines. The last point of diploma thesis are solution proposals based on analytical data’s.

Detta är ett examensarbete inom Industriell Ekonomi, inriktning arbetsorganisation och ledarskap som rör sig om att undersöka och analysera CE-märkningsprocessen för företag inom automationsbranschen. Avsikten med examensarbetet att föreslå relevanta metoder och verktyg för att effektivisera processen och att eliminera slöseri och minimera kvarstående arbete för slutförandet av CE-märkningen hos kunden. För att kunna uppfylla avsikten med examensarbetet så har tre frågeställningar tagits fram. För att besvara frågeställningarna har datainsamling gjorts som har bestått av en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. Kvalitativ metod utfördes i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer för att undersöka respondenternas åsikter om processen och identifiera problem. Kvantitativ  metod  utfördes  i  form  av  vetenskapliga  artiklar,  dokumentationer  och litteraturstudie för att samla in data i form av relevanta teorier och undersöka interna dokument från företaget. Resultaten av studien visar att CE-märkningsprocessen består av flera steg som är beroende av varandra. LEAN-förbättringsmetoder och verktyg kan tillämpas i processen för att uppnå effektivitet. Dessutom kan delaktighet och involvering från projektgruppens medlemmar bidra till en förbättring av informationsflödet och bättre informationskvalitet som utbyts under processen. Detta arbete bidrar teoretiskt genom att tillämpa LEAN-filosofin på CE-märkningsprocessen och praktiskt genom att föreslå metoder för att effektivisera processen och minska kvarstående arbete vid CE-märkning hos kunden. Det unika med denna studie är tillämpningen av LEAN- filosofin på CE-märkningsprocessen inom automationsbranschen, vilket öppnar upp nya möjligheter för förbättringar och ökad effektivitet inom området. / In order to fulfill the intention of the thesis, three questions have been developed. To answer these questions, data collection has been done which has consisted of a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative method was carried out in the form of semi- structured interviews to investigate respondents' views on the process and identify problems. Quantitative method was carried out in the form of scientific articles, documentation and literature study to collect data in the form of relevant theories and examine internal documents from the company. The results of the study show that the CE marking process is made up of several interdependent steps. LEAN tools and methods can be applied in the process to achieve efficiency. In addition, the participation and involvement of project team members can contribute to an improvement in the flow of information and better quality of information exchanged during the process. This work contributes theoretically by applying the LEAN philosophy to the CE marking process and practically by suggesting methods to make the process more effective and minimize the remaining work for CE marking at the customer. What is unique about this study is the application of the LEAN philosophy to the CE marking process in the automation industry, which opens new opportunities for improvements and increased efficiency in the field.

This Masters Thesis deals with the concept of lean manufacturing and its implementing specifications in Czech companies. The theoretical part describes the concept of lean in detail, its history, principles and other characteristics. Furthermore this part presents the analysis related to the implementation of lean principles in small and medium sized companies in the Czech Republic. Based on this analysis, the hypothesis about the success or failure of implementation is formulated. The practical part describes the implementation of the chosen lean tool in the international operating company. On the basis of this project, the hypothesis is affirmed or denied.
