One of the biggest concerns of the industries is to align the production flow with the demand, therefore, the main focus is to adjust all the processes so that they operate at the maximum installed speed, without generating bottlenecks. to ensure the reduction of waste, especially those related to the consumption of electricity. In this sense, this work aims to identify the production bottlenecks of the manual insertion process of the components -BMI of a factory in the Industrial Pole of Manaus, to apply the theory of restrictions -TOC and the Overall Equipment Efficiency index -OEE of the equipment. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to identify the bottlenecks and restrictions of the system and to propose suggestions for improvements in the process, in addition to improving the overall equipment efficiency index of the welding machine through fine adjustments in its setup, as well as software and hardware acquisitions. Installing sensors on the assembly line for monitoring and improving process and maintenance.

“…Standardization means that there is a high degree of uniformity in goods and services. Many products in corporations and firms are standardized because this king of product is better from customer, logistic and production point of view (Wolniak et al, 2014;Gembalska-Kwiecień et al, 2018;Wolniak et al, 2017). Generally, standardization is defined as an activity in determining regulations for general and multiple use, with regard to real or potential problems, as to obtain optimal arrangement level in the given context (Galvin, 2003).…”

Presented paper concentrate on problems connected with the role of operation manager within industrial company. Operation management concentrate many activities in today’s industrial corporation and because of that the role of it’s manager is very important. He should to have many skills described in this paper. We analysed responsibilities of the operation manager, his basic operational skills and also give some examples of duties and responsibilities of good operation manager on the example of food industry. This example can give some remarks about practical skills needed in operation management in particular enterprise.

“…The concept of subjectivity is understood as a situation "in which a person or group of people, realizing a conscious influence on matters important to themselves, achieves results that are unequivocally satisfactory in self-assessment and significant in the overall balance of organizational influences". By fulfilling this function, employees are satisfied with the need for their self-fulfillment, recognition or dignity, as well as an appropriate place in the organizational structure of the enterprise and their interests are taken into account (Gembalska-Kwiecień, 2017c; Wolniak et al, 2017). Thanks to this, employees are aware that they have an influence on their own behavior and that they are responsible for their own actions.…”

The article deals with the issue of employees' participation in the security management system in an enterprise. The issue of participation was presented as well as empirical studies illustrating the problem of the study. The benefits from the creative participation of employees in a safety management system were also shown. It was stated that an employee’s participation in specific areas of business management is important and that it is a desirable direction in the development of the employees' staff and displaying joint responsibility for the workplace. The research was carried out in five enterprises engaged in the business of construction and renovation activities. The surveyed employees were employed in various positions and at various organizational levels, they took part in the survey and in individual interviews. Questions from the first part of the questionnaire generally concerned issues related to occupational health and safety. The second part concerned issues directly related to the safety management system as well as the creativity and participation of employees in improving work safety in the surveyed enterprise. Empirical studies have shown that some of the surveyed employees have a rather passive attitude towards systemic issues. The article uses the approach that puts human events in the epicenter as one of the most important drivers of changes taking place in enterprises. In order to further improve the functioning of the implemented and maintained systems, enterprises have created their own set of practiced forms of employee participation.
