LEANING OF PROCESSES AND IMPROVING THE WORKING CONDITIONS OF THE NEWLY CREATED WORKING ZONE

Abstract

The aim of the article is to propose ways to increase the functioning efficiency of the newly created workplace with regard to the course of the processes themselves, as well as of the working conditions of the affected employees in the selected company, dealing with the production of refrigeration and air conditioning units for automobiles. The automotive market is primarily customer-oriented, to which companies strive to meet and deliver high-quality products that are different from their competition. To ensure this goal, it is necessary to acquire theoretical knowledge in the field of organization and structure of the production process. It is also necessary to analyse problematic points of the newly created working zone on the basis of observations and interviews with employees. The essence of streamlining the workplace and improving the working conditions of employees lies in the identification, analysis and elimination of shortcomings, that have arisen mainly due to dynamic changes and rapid implementation of the working zone in the corner of the production hall. Based on the identified deficiencies, the authors of the paper have proposed corrective actions and have analysed the results of the improved condition.
