<p> </p><p>The sawmill industry is a relative fragmented industry that is in an economic upswing and</p><p>with a hard competition. The customers have high demands on their suppliers and the high</p><p>customer demand make it necessary for the companies to make a streamlining in planning</p><p>and production. For that reason it is very important that the planning- and production</p><p>processes aren’t to complex and with a simple structure.</p><p>The purpose of this report is to study and map out a marked out part of a planning- and</p><p>production process, from adjust works to final delivery, at a company in the sawmill industry.</p><p>Different methods have been used for the report, among others interviews and subordinated</p><p>material.</p><p>We have mapped out a marked out part of the planning- and production process at the</p><p>Company. This part we have studied, and we have analysed the process it self and other</p><p>things connected to the process.</p><p>We see the planning- and production process in the Company as complex. The process and</p><p>the people that work within it should get positive things out of a process mapping. We</p><p>bring up and discuss the fact that it is a key person that has the most knowledge about our</p><p>part of the process. We mean that they have to make much of this key persons knowledge</p><p>explicit for the rest of the employees. If the Company start to use a MRP system they have</p><p>the opportunity to relieve pressure of the key person and in the same time give more of the</p><p>employees the opportunity to gain increased knowledge about the planning- and production</p><p>process</p><p>The Company can now, with the help of our process mapping, carry out a process analysis</p><p>for their processes. They should also implement a new planning system because it will help</p><p>to make the planning process more efficient. We also think that the Company should implement</p><p>a MRP system because it would take the pressure of the key person and it will</p><p>make it easier for the Company to divide the knowledge that exists within it.</p><p> </p>
