Tiivistelmä
This thesis is an exploration into the boiler tube material supply chain processes of Andritz Oy from procurement to pressure part manufacturing. Critical topics within the supply chain process which require significant manual work were identified and explored in detail.
The aim of this thesis was to provide the desired deliverables for Andritz Oy, which were a comprehensive study and description of the current processes and the formation of concrete development ideas and recommendations concerning the topics covered. The possibility of implementing processes to reduce manual work was the priority regarding the development ideas.
The implementation phase of this thesis included extensive and frequent internal meetings and discussions. These discussions facilitated a deep understanding into the current processes and the intricacies associated with these processes. Furthermore, these frequent discussions provided an opportunity to continually review ideas formed during the thesis writing process. Development ideas were then formed based on analysis into the current processes along with ideas from the extensive literature review.
The deliverables from this thesis form materials which can be used for Andritz Oy’s internal use. Descriptions of current processes can be used as materials for orientation regarding these topics, and the development recommendations can be used as a platform for possible further discussion and implementation.
