ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING OF PRODUCTION OF REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES

Podjetje Gorenje d.d. je v svetu znano predvsem kot proizvajalec velikih gospodinjskih aparatov. S svojimi izkušnjami na tem področju sodi med velika podjetja v tej panogi. Vodilo pri izdelavi aparatov so predvsem tehnična dovršenost, dober dizajn, cenovna dostopnost. Vedno bolj dovršeni izdelki, ki nastajajo pa s seboj prinašajo tudi vedno nove zahteve kot tudi časovno vedno krajše roke. Tem zahtevam morajo ustrezati tudi hladilni aparati. Že precej časa se vsak razvoj novega aparata vodi projektno. Ker pa ustaljeni načini dela pri določenih fazah ne zadostujejo več, je potrebno iskati vedno nove rešitve za optimizacijo procesov. V nalogi sem se osredotočil na nekatere faze pri razvoju novega hladilnega aparata. Pri teh fazah sem identificiral ozka grla tekom projekta. Osredotočil sem se predvsem na največje probleme, ki nastajajo tekom projekta. Na podlagi teh informacij sem nato podal predloge za izboljšavo različnih faz. Nato sem na koncu ovrednotil doprinos teh novih predlogov ter ocenil, koliko bi bilo potrebno investirati za njihovo implementacijo v proces razvoja.Company Gorenje d.d. is renowned over the world mainly due to production of large house hold appliances. With its experience in this field it is placed among the big companies in white goods manufacturers. Gorenje \u27s ma in goals are technical superiority, good design and price availability. But more technically advanced products bring even more demands and shorter time to develop. The demands are also strong in the refrigerationfiled. For some time now, every development of refrigerator is done like a project. But because conventional methods of work aren \u27t sufficient any more those days, new solutions for process optimization need to be implemented. In this work my focus was on some phases through the development of refrigeration appliance. I identified problems that occur during those phases of development. I focused mainly on the major problems that occur during those phases. Regarding those problems, I suggested possible improvements for dif.ferent phases. After that J determined how much benefit would those improvements bring and how much would it cost to implement them
