Konepajan toiminnan kehittäminen

Abstract

Tämän insinöörin työn tavoitteena oli kehittää pienen konepajan toimintaa jokaisella osa-alueella. Tilaajana toimi Kainuun Pintakäsittely Oy. Työ lähti liikkeelle nykyisen toiminnan kuvauksella. Toiminnasta oli määrä etsiä epäkohtia ja ongelmia aiheuttavia menetelmiä ja yrittää keksiä ratkaisuja asiain tilan parantamiseksi.Parannusehdotukset ja ajatukset ovat saaneet alkunsa henkilökohtaisista kokemuksista. Työssä ei menty niin pitkälle, että siitä olisi syntynyt tuotoksena piirrustuksia tai lukkoon lyötyjä suunnitelmia. Alun perin tarkoitus olikin heittää ajatuksia ilmoille siitä, mitä voitaisiin tehdä. Osana työtä yrityksen laatukäsikirja paivitettiin kaluston osalta vastaamaan todellista tilannetta.

This Bachelor’s thesis was made for the Kainuun Pintäkäsittely Oy company. The goal of the thesis was to improve working methods and efficiency in a small machine shop. The work started by investigating the company’s resources and working methods. The aim was to find difficulties and problems in the every day life of the company. Suggestions to improve working methods and facilities were made. They are based on the author’s personal experiences as an employee. For the theoretical part of the thesis a few books were also made use of. There was no intention to make any drawings or precise plans but only to investigate the manufacturing and painting processes and write down the findings. One part of the thesis was to update the company’s quality standard manual. As a result of the thesis many aspects requiring attention were found. For example, there are not enough people working in the management and this causes problems. The employees have to solve contradictions on their own. New tools and facilities where to place them are also needed in the company. More room for the sheet metal and raw beams is needed as well. It is important to understand the concept of quality and improve the company accordingly. When the work is done right at the first time, there is no need to do it again. The company's image among customers is crucial and quality is an essential factor when developing it.
