In recent researches there is a lot of emphasis on sustainable development, green concept and low carbon footprint. In the field of mechanical engineering, the major producers of CO2 equivalent are primarily manufacturing companies. Various solutions to reduce the carbon footprint are being intensively sought. As a result, in the presented master's thesis, we focused on the reduction of the CO2 equivalent within the production area process. We designed the concept of introducing green production into the production process in which we acquired, collected, edited and analyzed data. We made a bracket for lights for a forestry trailer, whereby we performed all the necessary calculations and used a simulation program for the purpose of planning the series production. Greater emphasis was on workstations layout. We presented the solutions in the form of calculations, graphs and explanations. We have identified the important role of machines with high energy consumption and pointed out the connection between costs and CO2 equivalent. We always solve problems on primary level, but the impacts must be studied globally.
