In the paper, by way of background, the role of Polish furniture industry in the world and in Europe is discussed and current trends in the fi eld of furniture manufacturing management are presented. Further, an analysis of the technological process in a furniture company is performed and the research questions are identifi ed. Based on this, the main aim of the research is provided-a concept of a new lean production control system based on Glenday sieve, artifi cial neural networks and simulation modeling. The aim of the present approach is to plan and execute the production program effectively and maximize the use of workstations at variable and hardly predictable demand for sets of furniture. The paper presents the methodological approach, results and discussion on the suggested solution.
The paper presents technical aspects of relocation of production and assembly lines. Preparatory stages of relocation, its course, planning and execution, way and process of reaching the assumed mechanical and stability parameters are described. The authors are focused on crucial issues limiting risk: securing supplies to customers by properly large inventory, personnel training and process standardization, transport activities, line assembly after relocation and reaching the target productivity. Effects of relocation on failure and productivity rates are presented. The analysis is based on the data acquired before relocation, in its course and after its completion, as well as during the stages of putting into operation and reaching the required productivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
