Environmental management system as the part of the methodology for optimization of assembly workplaces

Abstract

The Optimization of assembly lines is a daily problem for all manufacturing companies. The most common optimization problem is the cost of the product being manufactured in the form of human labor. Activities related to the optimization of assembly workplace are not static, but can be managed through the "spontaneous". The article is focused not only on the evaluation of assembly lines in terms of productivity, but also the perspective on environmental aspects operators. This article described individual steps how the methodology could be created. There are described qualitative and quantitative research which were used and then was designed the methodology of optimization of assembly workplaces based on used procedures the integral methods This article looked at designing methodology with respect of environmental aspects. Of course, the human factor plays the most important role in final methodology. In every phase there is considered human work and its responsibility. This article described the preparation phase, the phase of analysis, the phase of optimization and the improvement phase. Of course, in every phase it was recommended to use the methods of modern ́s industrial engineering as well as the methods for improving a managing environmental system. The methodology was design primarily for the assembly workplaces. Nevertheless, the methodology could be used for optimization of any sort manufacturing workplaces.
