Improving the assembly process by applying lean management tools

U ovom radu opisan je koncept lean menadžmenta te su detaljnije objašnjeni temeljni principi i najčešće korišteni alati lean menadžmenta u autoindustriji. Posebna pozornost obratila se gubitcima koji se javljaju u proizvodnim procesima. Nakon teoretskog dijela prikazani su rezultati mjerenja količine vremena potrebnog za montažu automobila na odabranom primjeru iz prakse. Rezultati mjerenja potom su se analizirali te su identificirani gubitci koji se javljaju. Kako bi se smanjila potrebna količina vremena montaže napravljena je optimizacija montažne linije te su predložene daljnje mjere za unaprjeđenje.This thesis deals with the concept of Lean management and further explains its fundamental principles, as well as its most frequently used tools within the auto-industry. A particular emphasis is put on the losses that emerge during production. Following the theoretical concept of Lean management, this research shows measuring results where the object of question was the amount of time needed to assemble a car seen in the chosen example. The measuring results were consequently analysed and have identified the occuring losses. In order to reduce the amount of time needed for assembly, an optimisation o fan assembly line was produced and further developoing aspects were suggested
