Flödeseffektivisering genom metoder för effektivitetsberäkning och processkartläggningar : Undertitel: En fallstudie på ett massproducerande företag

Sammanfattning: Today it is important for production companies to create an overview of how the company is conducted to maintain its competitiveness. Mapping processes and material flows visualize production areas that create a direct value for the customer, while remaining areas or activities that do not add a direct value  should be minimized or eliminated. In order to identify material flows and non- value creation activities, complex models are required that can be combined in different ways. The study is based on a case study of an international mass-producing company that is partly located in the middle of Sweden. The factory studies four production lines, each producing the same product type but of different sizes. The aim of this survey is to create a deeper insight in a production process cost and material flows by combining a process-calibration method with methods for calculating the efficiency of processes. The first model used is a mapping process and material flow model to shorten lead times. The 2nd model used is a model that graphically shows which value and non-value creation activities to use the result in an efficiency calculation. The result consists of efficiency calculation, which shows that production Line 1 was streamlined by 19.12%, Line 2 by 6.68%, Line 3 by 18.73% and Line 4 by 4.77%. The goal of efficiency calculations is to achieve an optimal method where the efficiency is 100%.
