Abstract

The paper deals with the selected production process and production line, which covers this process. It is a process for manufacturing car handles and their components. This process consists of several assembly stations. At each assembly station, components are added to the assembly until the final product is finished. The article contains a brief description of each production post. We analyzed the production process and created a simulation using the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software tool. In addition to the software module, we used the Hoshin method, which is commonly used in industrial enterprises, to increase efficiency. Hoshin Kanri is used as a system management tool in the company to develop an annual tactic that aims to implement it in all departments and functions in the enterprise. Using the Hoshin method, we also modified the layout of the workplace so that the production process was as smooth as possible. The design layout of the workplace is visible in the last simulation in Fig. 8.
