Abstract
The uncertainty of today’s globalized economy requires prompt responses by companies, responding to rapid changes in customer demand. The last thing a company wants is an inflexible production system that cannot respond quickly. Companies’ situation largely depends on reacting promptly to changing customer requirements. Of course, all these activities must also generate some profit for society. In achieving its objectives, the company must pay particular attention to reducing production costs. Therefore, improving production processes is becoming increasingly important. The improvement consists in identifying and eliminating losses that occur in production. Managing and improving business processes is a regular part of a successful company, no matter which segment the company operates. With increasing competition in a market economy, it is essential to optimize production processes. The textile market is oversaturated, supply exceeds demand, and companies have to put an even bigger stop on streamlining internal processes. It is mainly a matter of eliminating waste from various sources and does not add value for consumers’ willingness to pay. This paper aims to use selected lean manufacturing tools to minimize inefficient work activities and time losses.
