Vsebina diplomske naloge obravnava transformacijo montaže alternatorjev iz klasične linije na U-celico, ki je bila zasnovana s pomočjo metode optimiziranja proizvodnega procesa, s katero lahko dosegamo načela vitke proizvodnje. V okviru metode je bila med drugim uporabljena kartonasta maketa celice v razmerju 1:1, s katero je bila simulirana razmestitev delovnih mest in operacij, ki bodo zagotavljali čim optimalnejše delovanje delavcev v času cikla. S prehodom iz linije v U-celico se je povečala tako izdelčna kot tudi količinska fleksibilnost. U-celica bo namreč omogočala hitro preurejanje naprav, orodij in montažo različnih družin alternatorjev. Zaradi možnosti spreminjanja poteka dela znotraj nje, pa se bo moč lažje prilagajati nihanju potrebnih količin proizvodov. Prav tako se je izboljšal pretok materiala, povečala sledljivost proizvodov tekom montažnega procesa ter bistveno zmanjšala zasedenost prostora v proizvodni hali.

• Title: The transformation of production line to U-cell

Abstract

The degree dissertation deals with the transformation of alternator assembly from the classic line to U-cell, which was designed thanks to the production optimisation method in order to apply the principles of lean manufacturing. Among others, a cardboard mock-up line of the cell of 1:1 proportion was used to simulate the distribution of workplaces and operations to ensure the optimum performance of labour during the cycle. By transitioning from the production line to a U-cell, both the product as well as the volume registered an increase in flexibility. The U-cell shall enable a swift rearrangement of devices and tools as well as the assembly of various types of alternators. Since the U-cell offers the possibility to alter the workflow, it shall facilitate the adjustment to different demands as far as the product volume is concerned. The flux of material also improved, with an enhanced traceability of products during the assembly process and a substantial improvement in the availability of the production hall.
