Tiivistelmä
This study is based on the development policy of the case company. The vision of the study was to understand the systems and processes involved in the flow packing unit, to find the performance barriers and to suggest possible solutions to increase the efficiency of the unit.
The data for theoretical study was collected from books, lectures and internet. Theoretical data collection was focused on process management, resource management and analysis methods.
The empirical data collection is based on company’s systems and processes. One part of empirical data was collected by interviewing company personnel and one to one sessions with workers, while other part was collected by quantitative data collection method for which a data collection form was designed. Qualitative data collection was used to gather the information regarding company’s processes for resource and quality management and to understand the worker’s knowledge about work. Quantitative data analysis was used to find the efficiency and problems of the technical side of the system. The major part of the information was gathered by observation and self-participation of the researcher in the actual system.
The study was divided into two main parts. In the first phase all the existing systems and processes in the company were studied while in second phase the collected information was analyzed, problems in systems and processes were found out and possible solutions were generated.
Study will help the case company to make positive changes in the production process of flow packing unit and also other companies in this business sector.
