Analýza výrobního procesu kombinovaných filtrů

Abstract

The bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the production process of combined filters. These types of filters serve to protect the individual's respiratory tract from a wide range of hazardous substances, both solid, gaseous and liquid. It is used in both industrial and military applications, or at units of the integrated rescue system. The demand for this type of protective equipment is strongly dependent on the situation in the world. During the Cold War, protective filters were produced in series of hundreds of thousands, mainly for the needs of armies and institutes of protection of the civil population. At the beginning of the 1990s, there was a sharp drop in demand at the market. This meant the end for a number of companies that were unable to quickly reorient to other areas of the market. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to analyze the production process of combined filters with emphasis on determining the production line, assessing the capacity of partial production operations, identification of bottlenecks and evaluation of the stock of selected components. The conclusions presented in this bachelor thesis describe the possibilities for increasing the production line capacity of protective filters. This can be used, in cases where there is a sudden increase in demand for this type of goods.
