Tiivistelmä
Reducing wastes has been introduced to big companies and SMEs, and it has become more and more important. Sustainable operations management is a comprehensive management of companies, including all the management of production, employees training, warehousing, quality and so on. In this thesis, an attempt was made to achieve the goal of reducing the wastes, and even to prevent the materials or services from being wasted at Fluidhouse Oy.
Materials control problems at Fluidhouse, Oy were recognized, and the need for developing the current situation was essential in order to improve the competitiveness of the company. The problem was how to deal with zero turnover items, and the aim was to find the fundamental reasons behind the problem in order to prevent it from happening in the future.
The project of dealing with the problem started at the end of April, 2012. There was no significant benefit achieved in one month, but several items were re-engineered. There will be even more items that can be used again in the future. This is not the only way to deal with zero turnover items; selling them to others is another approach as well. To prevent the problem from happening, the production strategy of Fluidhouse should be taken into consideration. JIT production can be implemented in the company. In addition
