Abstract

Organizing manufacturing work in a way that minimizes delays in individual production operations is a key factor in a highly competitive market. One of the key factors to prevent delays is their correct identification and proper definition of methods to reduce their impact on selected parameters of the production process. The study presents the impact of Lean Manufacturing tools (5S, standardization and Total Productive Maintenance) on delays in the manufacturing process. A statistical analysis of the level of delays was performed, which was aimed at showing the essence of using Lean Manufacturing tools to improve the efficiency of the production process. In the example analyzed, the implementation of selected LM tools allowed for a reduction of delays related to failures by approximately 18 hours.
