Increasing the Productivity of Enterprises with the 20 Keys Method

Each production has its own specifics. These depend on many variables, of both global and local character (e.g. global: roads, proximity of mills and forests, etc., local: availability of staff and necessary connections, production space, machines, etc.). All these particular characteristics affect production to a different extent, and the role of managers is to put them all in balance, i.e. to create the most suitable possible climate for the development and growth of their company, production or trade. For quality problem-solving, one must first determine the state of all production processes, because only a systematic and realistic identification of problems results in long-term success. In wood- processing industry one must have a very deep understanding of a specific problem and approach it with caution. The research polygon for this study was a furniture manufacturing enterprise, in which time and material flow were monitored and workplaces involved in the production process examined. Based on that, a proposal was put forward with solutions for improving the enterprise productivity. As a guide through the method of re-engineering, the 20 Keys Method was used.
