Journal Title: Zarządzanie i Finanse - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents the results of the research carried out in the production company (metallurgical industry). The analysis shows that the main motivating factor for the introduction of Lean activities were management requirements. As a result of the implementation of Lean methods and tools, the amount of breakdowns of machinery and equipment were reduced and quantity of manufacturing defects were decreased. The study presents that employees of the production area do not associate the various Lean tools and do not know how to use them. Moreover they are afraid of dismissals as a result of Lean improvements.
