Babić, Nina (author), Bajt, Oliver (mentor)

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Vpliv dejavnosti tovarne GKN Driveline Slovenija, d. o. o., na okolje in logistični vidik skladiščenja in transporta obravnava povezavo med proizvodnimi procesi, logističnimi rešitvami in okoljskimi vplivi v podjetju GKN Driveline Slovenija, d. o. o., ki je del mednarodne korporacije GKN Automotive. Glavni poudarek naloge je usmerjen v notranjo logistiko, ravnanje z nevarnimi snovmi ter trajnostno naravnanost poslovanja. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljeni osnovni logistični pojmi, kot so skladiščenje, notranji transport, ravnanje z nevarnimi snovmi, obvladovanje odpadkov ter ESG in ESRS standardi. Te vsebine služijo kot osnova za razumevanje praktičnega dela, v katerem se analizira konkretna organizacija skladišča in logističnih tokov v podjetju GKN Driveline Slovenija, d. o. o. Empirični del vključuje podrobno analizo skladiščnega sistema, kjer je izpostavljena pomembna vloga standardizacije transportnih enot, strateško umeščenih mazalnih in ekoloških otokov ter centralnega sistema za doziranje masti (DOSSIS). Podjetje aktivno stremi k prehodu na elektrificirana transportna sredstva, zmanjševanju uporabe viličarjev v proizvodnji ter povečevanju varnosti zaposlenih. Uvedba električnih vlakcev in sistem predstavljata sodoben pristop k optimizaciji notranje logistike. Predstavljeni so tudi postopki za varno in nadzorovano ravnanje z nevarnimi snovmi. Podjetje vodi evidenco uporabe nevarnih kemikalij in si prizadeva za uvedbo sistema, kjer bi bile zaloge teh snovi skladiščene pri dobaviteljih in dobavljene na odpoklic. Takšen pristop zmanjšuje varnostna tveganja ter izboljšuje prostorsko učinkovitost. Prav tako je obravnavano ravnanje z odpadki, ki poteka s pomočjo ekoloških otokov in pokrite deponije, od koder se odpadki predajajo pooblaščenim zbiralcem. S tem podjetje zagotavlja sledljivost, urejenost in skladnost z okoljsko zakonodajo. Poseben poudarek je namenjen varnostnim ukrepom, usposabljanju zaposlenih ter razvoju organizacijske kulture. Podjetje ima vpeljan napreden varnostni sistem Personal Safety Guard, ki z uporabo zvočnih in vibracijskih signalov preprečuje nesreče pri uporabi transportne opreme. Redna usposabljanja in obvezna izobraževanja zaposlenih vsaki dve leti dodatno prispevajo k večji varnosti in odgovornosti na delovnem mestu. Na podlagi raziskave je bilo ugotovljeno, da GKN Driveline Slovenija, d. o. o., aktivno implementira trajnostne ukrepe, ki temeljijo na načelih ESG in ESRS. Podjetje si prizadeva za izboljšave na področju logistike, varnosti in varovanja okolja ter predstavlja primer dobre prakse v industrijskem okolju. Njihova usmeritev v digitalizacijo, elektrifikacijo in sistemsko upravljanje nevarnih snovi je korak v smeri trajnostne proizvodnje in logistike prihodnosti.

• Title: IMPACT OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE GKN DRIVELINE SLOVENIJA, D. O. O. FACTORY, ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE LOGISTICS ASPECT OF WAREHOUSING AND TRANSPORT

Abstract

The thesis titled The Impact of Factory Activities on the Environment and the Logistic Aspect of Storage and Transport explores the interconnection between production processes, logistical solutions, and environmental impacts in the company GKN Driveline Slovenia, d. o. o., which is part of the international GKN Automotive group. The core focus of the thesis lies in internal logistics, the handling of hazardous substances, and the company’s sustainable operations. The theoretical part presents key logistics concepts, such as warehousing, internal transport, hazardous materials management, waste handling, and ESG/ESRS standards. These provide the foundation for the practical analysis, which focuses on the organization of storage and material flows in the company GKN Driveline Slovenia. The empirical part offers a detailed analysis of the warehouse system, emphasizing the importance of standardized transport units, strategically placed lubrication and ecological islands, and a central grease dosing system (DOSSIS). The company is actively pursuing the electrification of its transport fleet, reducing forklift use in production, and increasing employee safety. The introduction of electric tugger trains and the “forklift-free zone” concept represent a modern approach to internal logistics optimization. The thesis also examines procedures for the safe and controlled handling of hazardous substances. The company maintains precise records of chemical usage and strives to implement a system in which hazardous material stocks are stored at suppliers and delivered on demand. This approach reduces safety risks and improves spatial efficiency. Waste management is addressed through ecological islands and a central covered depot, from which authorized contractors collect waste. This ensures traceability, compliance with environmental regulations, and overall organizational clarity. Special attention is given to safety measures, employee training, and organizational culture development. The company uses an advanced Personal Safety Guard system that warns employees of approaching vehicles with acoustic and vibration signals, automatically reducing forklift speed. Mandatory training every two years enhances awareness and reinforces responsible behaviour in the workplace. The research concludes that GKN Driveline Slovenia, d. o. o., is actively implementing sustainable measures based on ESG and ESRS principles. The company demonstrates best practices in logistics, safety, and environmental protection. Its focus on digitalization, electrification, and systematic hazardous substance management positions it as a forward-looking organization committed to sustainable industrial logistics and production.
