Lean Enterprise
Trnovská, Lucia ; Klečka, Jiří (advisor) ; Košturiak, Ján (referee)
In the recent years, the ever changing economic conditions, be it on a global or local market, have caused an increasing amount of interest in management approaches. The new trend seems to be the implementation of so-called lean systems, and it is exactly the theme of a lean enterprise that this bachelor's thesis strives to delve into. The first part of the thesis focuses on portraying the historic events that led to the creation of the concept of a lean enterprise, its characteristics, basic principles, methods and elements that this enterprise applies in its functioning. It also delves into economic aspects that the process of leaning includes. The practical part focuses on analysis of lean elements implementation in the production company OMS, spol. s.r.o. This company is one of the largest producers of luminary products in the Central and Eastern Europe. In the recent years, it has realised a number of projects and changes in the area of leaning. Many of the systems have already been incorporated into the company, or are being prepared for that very purpose. This part also mentions certain problems that have occurred while implementing the lean elements, and possible solutions to these problems.
