Due to the ever increasing customers' demands for quality and shortening of delivery time company Alples d.d. decided to renew their packaging process. The aim of the research was to determine the factors which decrease the effectiveness of the work process on the packaging line as well as to find a simple and cost-friendly solution by using organizational tools which enable lean process. The work measurement study of a day showed many organizational losses connected both to preparation of a working place as well as to organization of material and information flow. On the basis of these data we made a proposal concerning technological and organizational measures for improving the situation. We showed that time loss would decrease by 12 % just by setting up an intermediate warehouse using the kanban method, by introducing preliminary inspection, minor technological measures, integrity of work order and improved work discipline.
