| Summary: | In practice, way of supply of workplaces often affects production process realization. This is particularly true in the majority of small and medium enterprises in non-automotive sector, where production is functionally organized. Literature review confirms that production processes and their logistics support are organizationally and operationally connected to each other and in most cases even inseparable, performed by the same employees. The latter restricts efforts to determine the impact of supply on overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and on productivity in a broader sense. Assessed impact of supply on OEE indicator forms an excellent starting point for decision making and planning of investments in production and inbound logistics. Practice shows that investments in production machines prevail over investments in inbound logistics. Why to invest in logistics is constantly recurring question between production managers, especially in nonautomotive sector. Operation and flow process charts are upgraded and used in combination with the equation for OEE indicator to determine the impact of supply (logistics) on Availability and on productivity in a broader sense. |
