Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of this thesis was to create a general theoretical calculation model based on real practical case, where a company that produces its product in local cells plans to partially change the system to production line and requires calculations to be done in order to compare and evaluate optimal variants.
Achievement of the objectives was a matter of observation and testing. The model was designed in Microsoft Excel environment and required knowledge of VBA programming language.
In order to test the usability of the program and ability to make all calculations correctly as well as to get the idea for the necessary functionality information was collected in a practical case, which belonged to a production factory. The case of the company was interesting since it was a task of renovation of the system and making it more efficient by saving resources such as time, space, human resources etc., which is one of the most important challenges of industrial management.
During research a lot of useful data was collected that improved the quality of the theoretical calculation model and that was used to improve the company processes in overall. As a result theoretical model was created and tested and final product can be beneficial beyond the frames of this specific project.
