The purpose of this thesis was to develop supply chain management at Exel Composites Kivara factory and so increase the fluency of the process, timely deliveries and production quantities. It focused on a process, which started from a customer’s order and ended to the arrival of procured materials. The main problems were shortage of materials, missing purchases, deceleration of sales order confirmations caused by delayed purchase order confirmations, complexity of subcontracting management, remaining of raw materials to the warehouse, lack of visualization and inadequate support from the system to the management of products and supply chain. The research problem was selected in three workshops by Exel's supply chain personnel and by afterwards analyzing. The selected problem was undone purchase orders. The used methods were interviews, workshops and some lean methods, such as value stream mapping together with 5-times-why and A3 problem solving models. Interviews focused on the status of strategic supply chain management both in the commissioner organization and in the reference enterprises. Their result was, that the main part of the supply chain management, procurement, was rather advanced, and the shortage of time limited most further development.

Furthermore, steps to the recommended leadership were composed. Future development can, for example, consist of mapping ideal value stream, increasing the variety of consignment stocks, utilization of total cost analysis, classification of the suppliers and developing of co-operation systematically particularly with the strategic suppliers....
