Abstract
Value flow management, quality in the logistics chain without unnecessary waste, optimization of transport, and standardization of logistics processes are considered as significant characteristics of lean logistics. This article focuses on the analysis and evaluation of existing material flow at the manufacturing operation. The assessment is based on comparing the total distance traveled during the transport of material for certain time consumption. And due to financial indicators, the costs necessary for the operation of the production workplace are monitored. In the efficient operation of the production system, efforts are made to minimize traffic routes, thereby reducing transport costs as well as the need for means of transport.
