Tiivistelmä
The thesis project is a part of the production development project of Aste Finland Oy, it proposes an optimisation of assembly production and introduces a solution for a production shop for the factory extension. Aste Finland Oy is a young company which produces display cabinet coolers. The company has experienced a high demand for its goods, however has been unable to meet the demand and take advantage of the current market situation, thus, the company was interested in increased production capacity.
Moreover, the demand is not even throughout the year and if the company is not able to deliver products in four to eight weeks after the quotation was released, the customer is lost. Thus, it was very critical for Aste Finland Oy to have backup capacity in order to immediately respond to the demand. It should be mentioned, that the production techniques of Aste Finland Oy did not allow to organise material and product flow in a reasonably efficient way, thereby the company was in need for a solution which would allow it to fully benefit from the implementation of optimised production solution.
This project was aimed to provide Aste Finland Oy with a thorough production analysis and recommendations which should be used in order to solve production problems experienced by the company. The adoption of recommendations developed during the current research project allows the company to reduce the number of workers by 35% and save approx. EUR 200 000 per year. The study consisted of two cases: the first case solved the problem with current production and offers solution for its optimisation, the second case solved the problem of production extension and provided company with the proposal for entire production line, with a list of equipment and tools needed, information on suppliers, cost calculation and an investment analysis for different scenarios.
