Abstract
This contribution is a case study, in which a requirement for an increase in production from customer’s part occurred. From the alternatives offered, the way of production line optimization was chosen, the adjustment of which made it possible to response to this reality. Initial analysis of the production line confirmed a significant number of downtimes, which were identified almost in every part of the production line. By using the improvement tool – Ishikawa diagram (Fishbone diagram) – particular categories of reasons causing these downtimes were identified. Application of ‘5Why?’ method was the next step, which helped to determine root causes of these downtimes. Then, p-diagram was implemented to reduce the downtimes which helped to minimize costs.
