In this diploma thesis there is fisrtly introduced company for which single proposals are solved and the materiál standard, actual ways of storage and absences which are solved in the proposal as well. It is also important for storage to know technological processes of production and placing of production equipment. On the basis of teoretic findings there were solution proposed which optimise processes of storage and its control. Results are: better-arranged storage, increased capacity of the storage of base material and products and reengineering of gathering of information which are important for the control of storage.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the material flow in a company located at the second stage of the supply. Material flow is monitored in terms of logistics. The focus becomes reducing production lead times due to optimized inventory. In the theoretical section briefly summarizes the nature of material flow and the means used to optimize inventory. The content of the practical part is a detailed conflict of manufacturing and non-manufacturing operations, which will be the basis for possible suggestions to improve all material flow.

This diploma thesis deals with a project to centralize the production of brass cage bearings in the company ZKL Hanušovice, a.s. The first part is focused on the description of the current production process, which has many disadvatages. From the analysis of these disadvantages we can make suggestions for making the production process more effective.

This thesis focuses on design a new layout of production hall in engineering company PSP Pohony Inc. The company is engaged in manufacturing od industrial gearboxes, clutch and brakes. Based on the analysis of material flow values and spaghetti diagram of current status of the company, is designed a new structure of individual workplaces so as to optimalization material flow in manufacturing and to reduction production time.

The Photovoltaic Industry is at a crossroads for change. Improving the sustainability of this complex system requires a thorough understanding of the entire life cycle of the solar module production. The product life cycle is thereby divided into the value added steps of raw material extraction, outsourced production, in-house production, operation, and recycling. Furthermore, the following report distinguishes between social, ecological, and economic sustainability. The report offers a compacted matrix with all parts of sustainability and each life cycle stage in order toshow companies of the photovoltaic industry the sensible areas. This should be a first step for improving the sustainability in the whole life cycle of a solar module.

Materialfluss-Systeme für den Stückgut-Transport auf der Basis von Stetigförderern sind meist modular aufgebaut. Das Verhalten gleichartiger Materialfluss-Elemente unterscheidet sich durch technische Parameter (z.B. geometrische Größen) und durch unterschiedliche logistische Belastungen der Elemente im System. Durch die in der Arbeit getroffenen Modellannahmen werden für die Elemente nur lokale Steuerungsregeln zugelassen und für das System Blockierfreiheit vorausgesetzt. Das Verhalten eines Materialfluss-Elements hängt dann nicht mehr von Zuständen anderer Elemente des Systems ab sondern nur noch von den stochastischen Prozessen des Eintreffens von Transporteinheiten. Die Auslastung eines Elements, die Quantile der Warteschlangenlängen an seinen Eingängen und die Variationskoeffizienten seiner Abgangsströme sind statistische Kenngrößen. Sie hängen im Wesentlichen nur von der Klasse des Elements, seinen technischen Parametern, den Parametern der Eingangsströme und der lokalen Transportmatrix ab. Diese funktionellen Abhängigkeiten sind im Allgemeinen nicht analytisch handhabbar. Da diese Funktionen stetig differenzierbar und beschränkt sind und von relativ viele Eingansgrößen anhängen, sind neuronale Netze gut geeignet für numerische Näherungen. Mit Hilfe von einfachen neuronalen Netzen können die statistischen Kenngrößen numerisch approximiert werden. Aus einzelnen Teilmodellen kann ein hybrides Modell des gesamten Systems zusammengesetzt werden. Anhand von einigen Beispielen wird die Güte der Modellierung bewertet. / Material flow systems are normally built with a modular structure. The behavoir of similar elements only differs by technical parameters (e.g. geometriy), and by different logistic loads of the elements in the system. In this paper, a new model is being developed for a non-blocking system with non-global control rules. The behavior of a flow of a material flow element is assumed not to depend on the conditions of other elements of the system, but only on stochastic processes of the arrival of transportation units. The rate of utilization of an element, the quantiles of the queue lengths at its inputs, and the dispersion of its output stream are statistic characteristics. They depend only on the type of the element, its technical parameters, the parameters of the input streams, and the local transportation matrix. These functional dependencies are not analytically manageable. But due to their properties, neural nets are well suited for numeric approximations of these statistic functions. The single models can be used to compose a hybrid model of the whole system. A few examples show the quality of the new modeling technique.

Plant layout is the heart of any production line because if the layout is not properly laid, there can be numerous consequences. Planning a layout for an SME is the most crucial and tedious job for a manufacturer because it is time-consuming and sometimes a costly process. Therefore, there is a need to choose appropriate methods to overcome certain problems and plan a good layout for the SMEs.The purpose of this thesis report is to explore methods that can help to plan the layout according to the requirements provided by the SME. This involves a detailed study conducted to understand the processes at the case company. However, change of layout is not just making changes to the existing layout, but some SMEs must plan a completely new layout where they can start from scratch. Similarly, in this case, a Swedish manufacturing company REHOBOT Rotex AB has provided all the data required for planning the layout. This leads the authors to study the entire production flow to know the current layout and identify the problems that exist in the plant. The approach of this thesis was a case study where the company has provided all the details like documents, current layout plans, and video recording of the plant.The study shows that maximum time is spent in the replenishment of storage and unnecessary movement of materials between the machines in the current facility. These activities can be classified as Nonvalue added or just can be addressed as waste. Therefore, there is a need to implement lean tools and use the SLP method to plan the new layout systematically. This method led to form alternative layout plans that consisted of changes made depending on the current layout. These changes will fetch the advantages and disadvantages that can further help in evaluating the alternatives using WFA. Once evaluated, the layout that turned out to be the best will be suggested and presented to the case company.
