Tiivistelmä
This thesis work is aimed at analyzing manufacturing processes in the metal fabrication workshop. Different methods of work organization and implementation of possible improvements with as few resources as possible are discussed in the thesis. This is an important topic because in this observed case this workshop is working without any strategic management and it is not efficient. The goal of this thesis work is to show how it is possible to improve production at this workshop with as less resources as possible. The study was commissioned by the St.Grad company.
For this work, the main research methods were observation literature study, reading specific literature, and consulting with the workers of the workshop. These methods were chosen to get the most encompassing view of the workshop.
Overall, the results show that optimization methods will improve the company’s capacity by more than 2 times. This work is important to show how big of competitive advantage companies get when they have an organized and automated production. Unfortunately, this is only theoretical work, because the implementation depends on the owner of the workshop, but it can be assumed that this research is right and might help to optimize production not only in this specific case but also in many other companies.
