Zavední nového výrobního procesu ve firmě Motor Jikov Strojírenská a.s

The aim of the Batchelor’s Thesis is to evaluate a new production project in the company Motor Jikov Strojírenská a.s. and verify the functionality of the design of its implementation on existing production facilities. The company engages in machining metal castings mainly for the automotive industry and heavy equipment. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts of the area such as production, Lean management, DMAIC and other methods, which we encounter in the practical part. The second half of this passage deals with the tools that are used to define processes, identify bottlenecks, measurements, and other procedures. The tools are specified in the thesis according to the certainty of their use and methods of implementation in practice. In the practical part, the manufacturing company is introduced using the DMAIC method first. There are explained procedures that the company uses in its current production. Also specifying aspects of the new product to be produced are introduced. The basic parameters of test production of a new product are calculated from the measurements and subsequently analysed. These parameters are used in the design of implementation into production and later calculation of project profitability. In the end, the calculation serves as a decisive criterion for accepting or rejecting the project.
