In continuous production lines, the replacement of machines and machine parts presents a significant challenge in terms of both time and cost. Due to the nature of these processes, replacements can only be carried out during planned shutdowns, which have limited durations. Any extension of the shutdown period results in additional cost. To effectively mitigate these costs, project risks analysis and precise planning of the work during the shutdown are crucial. In this master's thesis we will analyse the project risks associated with a real project involving the replacement of a dust filter, and propose measures to minimize their impact. For high-priority risks, we will define and analyse measures using risk curves, ensuring that the expected loss of each individual risk is lower than acceptable values. A detailed assembly schedule, which must be completed within a four-week timeframe, will be developed based on the results of the SMED analysis and estimated times for each assembly operation. Due to the tight assembly window, special attention will be given to concurrent task execution, and the final schedule will serve as a crucial tool for preparation and monitoring progress during its implementation.
