The diploma thesis deals with the problematics of lean production in a selected company. The analytical part includes the introduction of the company and the analysis of the current state with using lean manufacturing tools to optimize material flows. The thesis is divided into four parts. The first part describes the objectives and methodology, followed by the theoretical basis of the work and analysis of the current state of the company. The final part includes suggestions of possible solutions leading to elimination or improvement of identified problems.

This thesis deals with the design of a lean manufacturing process with the main focus on the modification of the production layout of the heat pump production line, at Daikin Device Czech Republic s.r.o. In the introductory part of the thesis, the theoretical background is elaborated and then the company is introduced briefly. The next part analyzes the currently produced models, production processes, the line in terms of current layout and finally the process times. Based on these analyzes, a new layout of the production line and storage space is presented. In the next part of the thesis, the conditions of implementation are defined. The final part evaluates the benefits of this work based on the real results that the new layout resulted in.

The master thesis concerns a project to streamline the production process by designing an assembly line to produce glass doors. The aim of the project is to increase the productivity due to the increasing demand of customers for products. The production process is analysed by mapping the value stream and finding a suitable solution using industrial engineering and lean manufacturing methods. In order to ensure successful project implementation project management tools and methods are used. The project also includes economic evaluation of the investment.

The work is focused on improving the concept of lean management in a selected engineering company, where analyzes are performed with the help of selected methods and tools to reveal current problems. The data are then processed and based on them, measures for change are proposed with an emphasis on minimizing the rate of waste of time and costs and increasing production efficiency.

The Master’s thesis deals with the approaches to the introduction of the principles of lean manufacturing and especially the concept of Just in Time (JIT). It is structurally divided into theoretical and practical part. While the theoretical part focuses on the theory of lean manufacturing and the details about steam turbines, the practical part gradually deals with the introduction of the company, production portfolio, supplier analysis and especially the production process. The practical part ends with the selection of proposals for changes in the production concept, including partial economic evaluations with regard to customer requirements to meet delivery dates, quality and required costs.

This thesis assesses the potential of using computer simulation to aid existing lean manufacturing training methods such as lecture and live simulation. An investigation of this possibility was carried out in conjunction with UMEP's Lean 101 class. In the study, two experimental computer simulation models demonstrating the push and pull production scenarios were constructed using ProModel software. Simulation models were equipped with a Visual Basic interface to aid trainees to manipulate the model via ActiveX. Constructed computer simulation was compared with live simulation to answer these research questions: 1. Was computer simulation able to teach additional lean concepts not covered in live simulations? 2. Was training time less for trainees going through a computer simulation than for those going through a live simulation? 3. Was a computer simulation quicker and easier to set up than a live simulation for trainers? 4. Did computer simulation achieve comparable educational objectives as live simulation? Objective measurements for first three questions were positive and conclusive. For the fourth one, a survey was conducted among trainees of a treatment group (computer simulation only) and a control group (live simulation only) to collect responses. Statistical analysis of the subjective responses indicated the computer simulation aided the trainees to learn and implement lean manufacturing, but was not as effective as live simulation. Holistically, these results did not warrant the complete changeover from live simulation to computer simulation. Yet, a combined implementation of computer simulation and live simulation was proposed to reap the benefits from the best of both approaches.

This diploma thesis deals with the proposal of improving company competition standing with the use of optimization and reorganization of production in ACO Industries k.s. This thesis also deals with supporting tools for reorganization and optimization of production, such as for example “slim production”. The main contribution of this work is reduction of time and money needed for production in order for the company to effectively increase the production rate, aiming at doubling the production and turnover in 2020.

The main subject of the master's thesis "Study of machines efficiency in manufacturing process" is the lean processes in the organization. The introductory section describes the theoretical grounds and methods of lean manufacturing. The main section consists of the analysis of selected manufacturing processes, including the implementation of two proposed solutions. The result of work is the elimination of certain types of waste during the production. Another contribution is improving of packaging processes at distribution to the customer.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the current state of the manufacturing process of the company ALFA s.r.o. Moravská Třebová, to submit own suggestions for the introduction of lean production to save time, costs and strengthening of the quality in the company and establish the conditions of implementation, in which is possible to implement specified proposals. The operational objective is also an explanation of benefits that gets the company after implementation of these proposals. The first part gives an overview of lean manufacturing methodologies and with using of selected methods and workflow analysis are determined in the second part the proposals. After their implementation the company can save time, reduce costs and strengthen quality for the customer as a basis for the introduction of lean manufacturing enterprise.

The aim of this master thesis is to propose a new operation arrangements for the packaging of auto lights used in private vehicles. For this solution had been used a theoretical knowledge from large areas of logistics, production management, lean manufacturing methodologies, and even the practical experience and knowledge of the particular conditions of the company. Conducted research has detected a critical areas in the company and there was designed a system to remove them. The results of this study allow implementing certain measures, which will improve the company efficiency and increase its competitiveness.
