Materials Flow Analysis in the Production Process - Case Study

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents an analysis of the materials flow in the company on the example of the production process of the selected product. The analysis was carried out in three stages. This division has enabled to take into account many factors that have a significant impact on the internal transport during production. The first step in the analysis was to determine the current situation of the flow of materials. In the second stage, the obtained data were used to develop a detailed program of internal transport, associated with the production of the considered product, and the last stage of the analysis was to identify opportunities for rationalization actions. The rationalization concerned the machine tools spatial location, the choice of handling equipment and transport tasks.
