This project has investigate one manufacturing processes at a manufacturing company. The company has been Swegon Operations AB and is located in Kvänum, where they manufacture units for indoor climate. The current study investigation is on a fan wall, which is a sheet wall adjacent to the fan in the units. The purpose of the project is to identify the current manufacturing process with both customer and product requirements. Subsequently give two alternative manufacturing processes one internally and one external manufacturing process. Which can make the fan wall and meet the requirements for the costumer and product with the lowest manufacturing cost. In the current process, the fan wall is manufactured in a value flow consisting of three activities in the process. The problem with this process is that it has not been investigated and compared with other alternative manufacturing processes with a lower manufacturing cost. Today's manufacturing process has been in place since 2001 when a custom-made machine was installed in the factory. The study in the project has investigated a value stream analysis for the current process, the possibilities for developing the process and how a future version of the manufacturing processes could look. The two alternative manufacturing processes are internal and external processes. The internal process consists of existing machinery from the factory and the external process consists of existing machinery and a plastic item is purchased externally. The study has also focused on sustainable development and Plan Do Check Act (PDCA). Consider why sustainable development is something that has to take into account and how the company works with it, as well as draw conclusions about how the different processes affect. The process of the entire project has followed the PDCA by first planning the entire work up and a value stream analysis is made to find possibilities and know the starting point. Then implement the possibilities of the proposed processes of how they would result and then check through analyses to propose the best manufacturing process. In the end, follow up that all goals have been met.Investigate how todays and the two proposed processes can affect the environment and the study has been structured according to PDCA. Analysis of costs, lead time and pros and cons will be discussed and conclusions about the project will be presented.
