Abstract
The paper presents possibilities for improving internal transport in a manufacturing company. The authors provide a general analysis of logistic processes as well as questions relating to production logistics, using Lean Management tools like supermarket or electric logistic train. They analyse the current state of internal transport and present changes and possible improvement concepts. Internal transport, which is responsible for the flow of materials, movement of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products within a company, has a significant impact on production processes. It can be improved thanks to the application of simple Lean Management tools, which will make it possible to eliminate all kinds of waste. Using the solutions presented in the paper, the analysed company may expect to continue to eliminate waste and strengthen its position among the producers of wire bunches and system panels used in household appliances.
