In the concluding part, our goal was to optimize the production line as much as possible by eliminating or at least reducing losses wherever possible. The second objective was to do this with minimal costs. We approached this using the "7 Types of Waste in the Production Process" method, which is just one of many lean production methods. We began by documenting the current state and identifying the types of losses. Then, for each identified loss, we sought the most cost-effective solution to reduce or eliminate it. Finally, we documented the new state. By comparing it with the previous state, we arrived at the results. With the implemented solutions, we managed to reduce production time by 14%, decrease inventory, reduce the footprint of the line by approximately 30%, relieve workers from the physical transport of materials using trolleys, and eliminate overproduction.
