Abstract
In the paper, the problem of proper resources management is considered. The problem was analysed and the results of a research on production improvement are presented, concerning specifically utilization rates of machinery and operators, as well as increase of production capacity. These aspects affect the efficiency of the whole production process. Thus, the proper resources management is an additional challenge that needs to be done by every manufacturing company. Examinations were carried-out in a company from the automotive industry, where the utilization of resources of three production lines were considered. In this case, the operators and machines utilization rates were emphasized. The optimization criteria was to increase the utilization rate of resources and reduce the time needed to produce one piece of each analysed products. The methods used to perform the improvement were, among the others, kanban and supermarket systems. The results were verified using computer simulation models designed for both present state and the state after implementing the suggested solutions.
