COMPUTER SUPPORT MANAGEMENT WITH MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF PREFABRICATED CONCRETE ELEMENTS

        In the paper on the base of case study of manufacturing process in civil engineering firm and available domain literature one can proof that applied computing solutions for manufacturing production support are not fully used in practice of enterprise management. There were describe some aspects of unusual usage of computer methods to suport block machines and manufacturing moulds management by creation a number of appropriate measures and indexes.
        In the paper one can presented potential possibilities of the computing system. Namely, in the frame of introduced computing system statistical data concerning single Shift of a given product can be groupped and on this base one can conclude about productivity and manufacture quality.
       However currently, elements concerning recording a number of empty tops or tops including products not satisfying norms are omitted. Taking attention that shift report is closed before final evaluation of product quality there is no possibilites to complete mentioned above analysed data. Hence, information on a level of products quality, productivity and efficiency is not enough.
          So, computer programme will be not fully used and its simple modification in this scope is hardly possible.
          Positive example for usage of IT for CEGTOR managementis supporting management with block machines begin crucial technological elements. It is made through especially dedicated software application. Introduced system enables acomparison of life time of block machines and evaluation of quality of their performance by manufacturers. Received information is used during negotiations with suppliers concerning succesive purchases of block machines.
          So, the findings let conclude that it could be justified to develop some of introduced in CEGTOR firm tools towards their better adjustment for decision making needs under its specific organizing and technical circumstances what let use more effectively generated reports through the management staff.

APPLICATION OF DE BONO’S CREATIVE THINKING IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SMED ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE PRACTICAL
 

            TPM is a very powerful tool used to improve the organization. It is also difficult to implement. To assist in the introduction of TPM method Edward de Bono Has been used. Method six ways of thinking can by use to organize any work on each issue. The method is neutral and can be used as a game or ritual that helps people to follow certain rules. Using de Bono methods in the company management helping to consistently and correctly apply the techniques of TPM and allows us to obtain:

  • SMED allowed the efficient carrying out refitting of individual machines,
  • reduction in the time machine refitting from 25 to 10 minutes,
  • reliability of machines up to 100%.

            Still current problem of Polish economy is insufficient growth and development. The main reason of this is the lack of innovative solutions in the sphere of production and service. Innovation should be present in all phases of business. Starting from design, through product, marketing, customer service, management, set a price for ending controls. Innovations emerging in the enterprise are closely linked to the emergence of new knowledge about the market, competitors, customers, the achievements of science and technology, and financial and legal arrangements. Implementation of a new product, or technical organizational solutions, can provide tangible economic and social benefits. They can relate better use of time, manpower, means of production, saving materials and many other fields. The mainfactor influencing to the effectiveness of these changes is the efficient management of innovation activities that can be supported by the psychology of creativity. Creative thinking brings many benefits. It is necessary to invent more and better ways to design innovative technology, marketing or search for new ways to motivate employees. This difficult requirements can meet only organization that is so creative, that depends on continuous development and improvement. Determination of conditions for the transfer process of individual creativity on the level of teams and the organization seems to be a major problem in practical use of creativity in organization and management. Creativity and innovation are overlapping structure between the two stages of the creative process: idea generation phase and the phase of implementation. Creativity combines these two processes: the formation of ideas and giving them concretesolutions.

THE IMPACT OF AUTOMATIZATION AND ROBOTIZATION FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF PRODUCTION ON THE EXAMPLE OF PREFABRICATED CONCRETE 

            The article discusses problems related to automatization and robotization in industrial production. The increasing use of automatization and robotization in the industry encounter problems related to the proper organization of production. Characteristics of simple automatization and flexible automatization and its influence on production organization were presented. Also the factors influencing the increasing use of robots in industry are discussed. Thanks to their large capacities robots are increasingly replacing human labor and for example are used for carrying heavy loads. Examples of the use of automatization in the production of prefabricated concrete blocks are presented. The effects of automatization for the organization of production process were showed on the example of nonautomatized production, half automatized mobile block making machine and fully automated line for prefabricated concrete blocks. Computer models of those three variants of the production are described and the results of the simulation experiment were presented. Simulation results clearly show the great impact of automation on productivity, which is much higher than in nonautomatized production. Computer simulation combined with visualization of the production process allows analyzing different organizational solutions. The computer model of production system can be the relatively simple modified and the impact of changes on the process of production can be analyzed. This allows to predict the behavior of the real production system and choose the best in the given situation organizational solution.
            Remains to consider the economic aspects of the implementation of automation, which were not taken into account.

USE SIMULATION TO IMPROVE FLOW CONTROL IN FURNITURE MANUFACTURING COMPANY 

            Computer simulation techniques have been used in the issues of production for about 30 years. Due to the rapid technological progress in the field of IT and growing computing power of personal computers attractiveness of simulation still increases. The advantage of computer simulation is its repeatability. By setting a number of the model parameters and by assigning numerical settings we can repeat the same process many times which is impossible to achieve in the real world.
            All the manufacturing systems can be divided into two parts: process and discrete systems. The products of the process manufacturing once put together cannot be taken apart. Discrete manufacturing can be characterized by individual or separate unit production. The sensible use of simulation usually requires the knowledge of the theoretical background to discrete simulation such as probability distributions, the model building process including validation techniques and the design of experiments.
            This study aims to present method for improving the flowin discrete manufacturing in exemplary company of joinery. The main goal of the research was to identify the actual and potential problems inside of the manufacturing system. Large intermediate stocks, long through put times, and variable bottlenecks are the most common kinds of problems that usually characterize such an environment. Furniture manufacturing is the complex process that consists of a few steps. The characteristics of the current manufacturing system in descriptive and schematic forms were presented. In the next stage the model of existing manufacturing system using the selected simulation software was developed. The model included such elements as: storages, works transportmean, assemblers, workstations, etc. The final step was to conduct a simulation experiment and draw conclusions. In this case, the method allowed to develop a computer simulation model that reflected the actual functioning of joinery company. The experiment conducted in conjunction with the simulation model provided detailed data for a thorough analysis of the flow in manufacturing. Some results of the simulation experiment were compared to the historic real company data and in this way the high quality of the simulation model was proven. This way the main barrier in obtaining the higher productivity level and the cause of excessive intermediate stocks were identified. Appropriateremedial steps leading to improve the flow in manufacturing, release of capacity reserve and reduce of stocks levels were proposed.

MANAGER’S ROLE IN CONTEMPORARY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION

             At the beginning is worth recalling the generally accepted definition of management. Management leadership is an activity involving the decision making and control of resources, processes and information in the organization in order to achieve optimal results in the most efficient and costeffective way and in accordance with the social rationality of actions. Management is thus a kind of journey through the chaos, is a kind of reality construction of the available items which can include: ideas, people, relationships, and formal legal institutions, material and monetary resources as well as the right to dispose of them. There is also a view that management is control over the diversity and transformation of potential conflict into collaboration. Therefore, management should apply to all resources (personal and material, material) and to all aspects of the organization known as managed organizations, but in fact is related to the activities of the higher and highest levels in the hierarchy of the organization, which embrace a whole aspect and where exactly all the resources are allocated. At lower levels, especially at the executive level, management is better and should be cultivated by good managers.
            Challenges of the XXI century affect the process of development and the pursuit of business excellence. This is evident in several areas, notably globalization and internationalization of the world economy. Multinational companies increasingly seek newer markets and cheap labor. This affects the development of investment in less developed countries. Analyzing the failure of the pioneers of the company or its competitors in the industry, they implement the latest technologies by eliminating the twenty first century in effective. The dynamism of the global economy causes acontinuous process of improving the operation and management of many companies. Entrepreneurs do not keep up with the productive and very fast in practice use of knowledge and information. The phenomenon of entrepreneurship is an essential element of economic competitiveness in world markets and many large and small businesses. What actually is meant by saying to be enterprising. Assumed that to be entrepreneurial, it means to be creative, innovative, flexible. Every manager, regardless of specialty, and level of function in addition to act as one plays in the organization the social roles expected by other members. The article presents the nature of the manager’s work, types of managers, managerial job requirements and principles of work organization, as well as key roles and skills, in terms of modern management.

APPLICATION OF CONCEPT LEAN PROJECT IN INNOVATIVE ACTIONS

             The article presents the concept of the methodology of implementation of innovative manufacturing processes and new design caled .lean project.. The concept of creating the conditions for both to shorten the implementation time for innovation, and reducing the costs of their implementation. The essence of the developed method is the .reverse procedure.. According to this procedure at the beginning of the project specifies a .volume. key design decisions to be taken in the draft. The consequence of this is to determine the next project activities, a set of information that should be maintained to decide the design. This alows the result to narrow the focus of research efforts to obtain that information. Described in the concept of work is subject to continuous review, and so far the results seem to indicate the advisability of its application.

SIMULATION OF THE PRODUCTION LINE WORKING ON THE BASE OF A PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

             The article focuses on the problems concerning production line capacity. The example of a certain problem concerning a line, on which the axles for grass mower are producing, is analyzed in the paper. To solve the problem authors used lean tools such as value stream mapping and ProModel program for simulation of the production line working.
            After gathering information about production line and processes realizing on the line, the current state of the value stream map was drawn. On the base of the map analysis and talks with employees and management the improvements, which could improve production line working and its capacity,  were  proposed.  Improvements  were  discussed  and chosen of them were indicated to check in simulations.
            Then a first version of future state of value stream map with the indicated improvements was prepared.
            To do simulations a plan was developed. As variables are taken: frequency of delivery, effective working time, number of simultaneously assembled products, number of lathes in the line and number of products in batch.
            Next a model of the production line in ProModel program was build. With the use of the model, in the range of the analysis, 144 simulations were done. Obtained data are analyzed and proposals for line developing are presented.
            To increase production line capacity an additional lathe has to be introduced into the line. Authors also indicate that morning break should be cut down to 5 min. Another solution, which has to be introduced, is changing a frequency of delivery. The frequency should equal 8 hours and it is enough. More often deliveries are not cost effective, although they could give even beter capacity.
            It was impossible to double capacity by introducing only other improvements avoiding costs concerning with necessity of buying a new lathe.
            The proposals are shown in the second version of future state of value stream map. Authors also indicate the further possible development and analysis.

THE RESEARCH OF REASONS OF NOT IMPLEMENTING IN COMPANIES THE QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ISO 9001

             It is assumed, that implementation of the requirements of the ISO 9001 norm lead to the development of a organizations in al levels of its activity. Unfortunately, standardized quality management systems have also both negative and weak sides that can affect the effectiveness of the organization. The number of problematic situations that the organization may find in a process of implementing and functioning of a system intensify with increasing popularity of standardized quality management system. The idea of the publication was an atempt to point out main disadvantages of quality management system and to assess the functioning of quality management system in smal and medium trade organizations. The realization of that goal took place in two stages. The first one included the review and analysis of the literature. The second one was a stage of research, whose main objective was to determinate the reasons deciding of non-implementation of quality management system according to ISO 9001 in the organizations. The study included 22 smal and medium size trade organizations associated in one single purchasing group. Analysis of the results alowed the management of organizations indicate the areas in which they should pay particular atention while implementing requirements of ISO 9001.
