Design and implementation of a modification to the intra-company logistics process at a selected company

This thesis examines the modification of the internal logistics process of unloading and loading at a selected manufacturing company. The aim of this thesis is to propose and implement modifications to this process and to empirically verify their impact on time requirements, including a preliminary economic assessment of the benefits. The focus is on the unloading of incoming materials and the loading of finished products, which in the observed company represented a time-consuming part of internal logistics activities and a source of operational losses. The practical part is based on systematic observation, time snapshots of operations, and, as a supporting measure, an analysis of worker movement using a Spaghetti diagram. Based on an analysis of the initial state, a modification was proposed and implemented consisting of the introduction of an electric pallet truck. The results showed that after implementation, the time required for unloading was reduced by 33.47% and for loading by 39.36%. At the same time, the involvement of production workers in handling activities was reduced. A preliminary economic analysis indicated that the benefit of the measure lies primarily in the freed-up labor capacity, rather than in direct wage savings. The study confirms that a purposefully designed and operationally verified modification of the logistics process can yield measurable benefits in terms of time, organization, and capacity.
