Tiivistelmä
This thesis was commissioned by Hilti AG for one of their largest production plants in Europe to support their production functions in the sphere of materials flow management.
Hilti AG is a large multinational manufacturing company that focuses on manufacturing, developing and marketing products for the professional users of the construction sector.
The purpose of this thesis was to research gathered information of production related operations at the plant and offer Hilti AG a solution to the improvement of the materials flow at the production site to increase the smoothness and efficiency of production.
Data was collected directly from the plant by conducting interviews with different department managers and working closely with the materials management team. Additional information was gathered from Hilti internal sources.
It was concluded that there are some ways Hilti could improve material flow and production operations at the plant by offering different solutions that would aid in their production efficiency according to already implemented LEAN management method at the plant.
The findings suggest, that by introducing the supportive functions mentioned in the proposal section of this thesis it is possible to enhance materials flow at the right time and increase the production outputs during the peak seasons.
