Analys av nuläge och förbättringsförslag till uppföljningar av en tillverkande produktion

Sammanfattning: The fact that companies currently need to streamline their production is largely due to the rapid pace of change and the competitive situation in the society. Using lean production is a common way to achieve higher productivity. The report has been carried out as a case study and aims to analyze the current production of a company to get a picture of which wastes are predominant in production and how the company can follow up on its data. Thereafter, an analysis of these data will be carried out. In addition, proposals for how the company can involve its employees in the improvement work will be presented. To perform the data collection, the Business Intelligence (BI) system is used, and for analysis, Microsoft Excel and the tools Power Query and Power Pivot are used. Interviews with management teams have also been conducted. The company has a low efficiency and currently lacks a greater overview of contributing factors to this despite the fact that they have several systems that collect data. The data that were analyzed also have many sources of error and since the company had not previously followed up its production results, verification of the data is problematic. Monitoring production and finding out which wastes are the major or most costly and then working on these wastes can help the company increase its efficiency. The company should therefore introduce OEE as a KPI where availability and performance are multiplied together to get a clear picture of the situation. Analyzing downtime will also give the company a greater understanding of which activities are contributing to the low efficiency.
