Tiivistelmä
The object of this thesis was to model and document the production processes of Warkaus Works Oy’s production lines. Based on renewed process charts, production travelers were renewed too. This final thesis is part of the LEKA project, which continues after this thesis is completed. The third object of the thesis was to find out problems occurring by external reasons. This part affiliates to the next phase of the LEKA project.
The research part of this thesis was carried out by getting familiarized to the production lines, the company’s ERP system and by interviewing managers, production supervisors and production workers. Information was collected from literature based on this topic and from the company’s documents, Intranet and general guidelines. The processes were modeled with the MS Visio software and production travelers were made with the ERP software.
Outcome for this thesis were the eight completely renewed individual process charts, located on Intranet, where everybody, with access, can use them. All the charts exploit the 200 different guidelines and production procedures, which can be found from company’s Intranet. Based on renewal, the production travelers were standardized to each line with specific requirements. This lead to more specified and simplified working phases.
All the material, which are introduced in this final thesis are censored completely due to the confidentially agreement between the Savonia UAS and the commissioning company. This includes the original charts, renewed charts, original production travelers and renewed travelers. The examples, which are showcased in the thesis, are just for showing the basics and the differences between original and new.
