Optimization of production processes and tool utilization in industrial grinding operations
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper focused on an optimization of production processes in a tool-room with a specific emphasis on grinding operations.A main objective was to identify and implement approaches that enhance production efficiency, minimize downtime, and reduce manufacturing costs.Through an analysis of a current state of production processes, the key factors negatively affecting productivity were identified, including underutilization of tools and inefficient planning.The paper presents a methodology for evaluating a performance of production systems, which includes an use of a overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) tool and workflow analysis.On the basis of the collected data, specific improvements were proposed, such as the introduction of modern tools, optimization of workflows, and the implementation of sensor-based predictive maintenance.These measures resulted in a significant reduction in production downtime and an increase in workplace productivity.The results demonstrate that the proper combination of technical innovations, effective planning, and monitoring of production processes can lead to significant improvements in the performance of production systems.The contribution of this study lies in providing practical solutions that can be applied across various industrial sectors while highlighting the importance of integrating modern technological tools into production processes.This article is valuable for professionals in industrial production, quality management, and operations engineering who seek effective strategies for optimizing production operations and increasing the competitive advantage of their enterprises.
