Abstract

The core idea of the paper is a value stream mapping with identification of waste sources, and drawbacks which help to uncover hidden reserves of production. The analysis covers the current state of individual processes within the production line. After determination of the present drawbacks the plan of rationalization was created in which the combination of elements of lean production was used. The proposed solutions could be used when establishing the principles of lean production at particular sections of the assembly line within the whole plant. In case that proposed solution cannot be put into practice it can be used as a blueprint for other types of improvement respectively decreasing of waste and drawbacks.

Keywords
