Improving of Manufacturing Systems in Slovak Industrial Enterprises

Abstract:

The paper deals with the issues of Slovak industrial enterprises in the field of Logistics and Manufacturing. The authors describe theoretical possibilities of improving manufacturing systems through the use of Kaizen, Simulation and Optimization. Authors also present results of the survey, which was conducted in Slovak industrial enterprises. The last part of the paper shows practical examples of improving manufacturing systems using different methods. The main aim of the paper is to summarise theoretical knowledge for the improvement of manufacturing systems through Kaizen and Optimisation by Simulation, compare results of the survey in Slovak industrial enterprises and finally suggest new approaches for industrial enterprises to improve their manufacturing systems.
