The 5S method is a fundamental tool that enables the efficient organization of the workplace. This method can be applied both to individual workstations and other areas of a company’s operations. The aim of this article is to improve the production system of a company specializing in the production of baby strollers and car seats by using the 5S method as a key tool. This article presents the implementation of the 5S method in a company manufacturing baby strollers, which is based on acquired experience. A survey is conducted among employees to assess their attitude toward the application of the 5S method in the company. In the studied facility, after the proper implementation of the fourth step of the 5S method, waste is identified in the form of excessive operator movements and unnecessary downtimes at the workstation. To address this issue, the “5 whys” method is applied. Tracing the root cause, which is found to relate to the way production elements are prepared in the warehouse, enables the design and creation of an innovative solution in the form of a pre-assembly rack. The implementation of the 5S method in the studied facility resulted in a high level of workplace cleanliness.

Value stream mapping is one of the basic tools used in the processes improvement or design – in accordance with the Lean concept. This paper presents a model of designing production processes and introducing new products to the market based on the analysis of the value streams flow in the production process. Particular attention was paid to the importance of input data necessary to plan a properly functioning production process, which results in a high-value product (from the customer’s point of view). In the paper also the list of all the most important tools supporting all stages of designing new production processes or improving existing processes has been presented. Also the advantages of big pictures analysis using was highlighted. In this case value stream mapping and big picture analysis were oriented on quality in the product development process and contribute to: creating value (based on customer requirements) while maintaining timely deliveries and constant costs (Value Stream Mapping), sustainable use of tangible and intangible resources (removing waste at the design stage). However, from the company point of view, and particular in the cost level, the product can gain value because a lower input is required for its production. After improvement, the process lead time has been shortened in an area where value was not added, but the consequence of implementing the change is an increase in the production volume while maintaining the process transition time – therefore, unit costs of production will change.
The paper maps the evaluation of ergonomic risks in Czech processing industry enterprises. In today’s dynamic times, the main challenge is to retain quality employees and focus on them. Safety and health protection at work and monitoring and evaluation of ergonomic risks at the workplace are related to employee care. The paper summarizes the results of a nationwide questionnaire survey of the manufacturing industry in the Czech Republic. The obtained data was evaluated by using basic descriptive statistics. Nonparametric statistical analysis (Fisher’s exact test) confirmed or excluded hypotheses. The performed analysis shows that the use of ergonomic risk methods does not statistically depend on the type and size of the enterprises. It is further evident from the research results that Czech enterprises should monitor ergonomic risks more.
The article presents the most significant material defects found in pistons for internal combustion engines, along with a graphical method of categorization using a Pareto-Lorenz chart. For the top three defects (constituting approximately 80% of all issues), a slightly different Ishikawa chart was employed to identify the causes behind their occurrence. Remedial actions were proposed, to be implemented primarily within the interoperative quality control of piston casting. It was concluded that it is crucial to prevent the excessive iron content in the alloy used for alfin inserts (AS9 alloy), particularly for cast iron ring carriers. The research was conducted in collaboration with Federal-Mogul company in Gorzyce (F-MG), one of the largest piston foundries in Poland.

Although these two concepts require taking other steps towards achieving different goals, the proper combination of them, taking into account classic methods and the idea of Industry 4.0, allows, as a result, to achieve a synergy effect - improvement the analyzed process.
Lean management is an approach to continuous process optimisation. The methodology involves the entire value chain. The individual links are made more efficient and thus leaner. The main goal of lean management is to use various lean methods, procedures and thinking principles to coordinate all processes and activities in such a way that any kind of waste along the value chain is avoided in a holistic production system. This would result in the following main difficulties: Transporting information quickly and purposefully to the right places in the company. This is where the lean tool of shopfloor Management (SFM) comes into its own. The shopfloor board is the communication platform of SFM. Shopfloor takes place very close to the employees in a direct interaction between employees and managers. Staff are directly involved in the process and should and can contribute their own approaches to solutions. The article provides an overview of the structure of shopfloor management (SFM) and proves that the goals set by the introduction itself – namely the optimised flow of information in the company with the involvement of all employees – are achieved through shopfloor Management. The method of a structured interview with 63 respondents is used to obtain data.
