Tiivistelmä
The concrete goal of this thesis was to shorten the set-up-time in the juice production process at VIP Juicemaker LTD in Kuopio. The company focuses on the production of beverages. The con-glomerate had decided to implement Lean Management for production-based regeneration.
Video editing was used to measure work times and to analyze individual work phases according to the principles of Lean seven wastes: wait, inventory, defects, extra processing, transportation, over production, motion and under utilization. Product exchange time was analyzed using the single minute exchange of die (SMED) method. S5 is one of the Lean tools used. The main purpose of 5S is to improve production processes by cleaning, organizing and standardizing working areas and methods.
As a result of this project new standard work instructions were defined for the analyzed production line. Also, in the analysis part unnecessary work procedures which increased product exchange times were found. At the same time production was streamlined.
The project was implemented with the assistance of the production management team. During the project the writer worked as a project manager. Lean Management has now been started at VIP Juicemaker and the improvement work will be continued in the future with other lines using this same method.
