The paper focuses on creating a proposal for an innovative solution for technological changes in manufacturing and assembly processes in industrial production of incubators. The aim of the paper is to point out how the manufacturing and assembly processes can be made more efficient so that capacity of industrial production of incubators is maximized, enterprise resource planning is fully integrated with production plan and overall evaluation of machinery efficiency is acceptable to all business subjects involved and creates potential for economic added value. The empirical methods used were TOC method, data mining-based analysis, analysis of internal documents, process benchmarking, FMEA, Lean manufacturing, Kaizen, process audit, Six Sigma, guided interview, Pareto analysis, Ishikawa diagram, Practice, 5 Whys method and 8D report method. The application part of the paper describes changes and innovation in production of industrial incubators concerning increased efficiency of assembly processes targeted at product quality. By optimizing production of incubators in compliance with customer preferences, life functions of new-born babies were improved. According to analysis of input data implementation of investment projects concerning changes in mass production and assembly of machinery benefits of projects were upgrading manual manufacturing to semiautomatic. Increased performance and streamlining of manufacturing and assembly processes in integration with an increase capacity of production stations enabled reducing operating costs of main production activity by implementing cost-saving measures. This contributed to promoting competitiveness of industrial and production enterprises and stabilizing their position in national and international market by integrating strategic, commercial, labor, and other business development and growth opportunities. Key innovations and technological changes create potential for economic added value and stable growth. A better understanding and implementation of optimization scientific research methods in production processes has potential to ensure long-term competitiveness of industrial and manufacturing enterprises on the global market. Ambitions of further research is application of SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) in Lean manufacturing, which enables synchronization of production flows and reduction of machine working hours with an emphasis on waste minimization, operator space optimization and rejection rate reduction of non-value operations at machine changes.
