Abstract

Lean methodology as one of the most modern ways of working, uses a variety of methods and tools that are aimed at continuous improvement and functioning of a single system. Due to its growing use in the manufacturing and service sector, Lean methodology is the subject of this paper. First, a series of Lean methods and tools will be presented to help analyze the current state of the selected production process, from raw materials to finished product. Then, with the help of the obtained data from the monitoring, it will be determined whether it is possible to improve the production process, by calculating the required number of operators in relation to the number of machines operated by one operator and the required number of operators in relation to the takt time, which in turn is related to the volume. Finally, a comparison of these data will be made to determine the future state of the process
