The article describes a research project conducted by the authors in 2015 in one of the manufacturing companies of the automotive industry in Poland. Described manufacturing company engaged in the production of body frame of truck cargo space. The aim of the project was to improve the part of production process involving assembling walls in one production area. The article describes the project realization, starting from defining the problem, identifying measures to improve the organization of production process, then selecting analytical tools of the current situation and in brief selecting improvement tools that were implemented in manufacturing company. As a result of the research work identified measures have been improved as explained in the article.
