Notes:
Target of the authors’ job was to optimize weighting and labeling process in mechanicalmachining companies. Main direction was to increase efficiency and decrease the amount offailures in the process. Efficiency in such field of industry is about 10 times lower than thestatistical EU number so it is vital to increase it.Initial situation analysis indicated a low level of automation, computer systems are not connected toa global system, and the process is not fully defined. This was found to be the main reasons for lowefficiency. High levels of failures are mainly caused by human mistakes.To optimize the process it was decided to design an integrated computer system. In the frame of theproject an IT system called Kilo was designed, which communicates via ODCB with SQL server.The duration of the project was 6 months. Weighting, counting and labeling processes wereautomated by using a global PPS system data and a specially designed integrated electronicweighting system.During final steps of the project the performance of a new designed system was analyzed. Theresults showed the following data: parts weighting and counting process time was decreased 50percent, and labeling process time was decreased by 78 percent. Separate monitoring of failuresperformed all 6 months showed impressive decrease of failures 90 percent and in the last month itwas not registered at all
