The improvement of the production process performance through material flow and storage efficiency increases serial production.

In the current era is increasing intention for identifying and mitigating production bottlenecks, particularly in industrial enterprises, by optimizing material and information within the broader context of enterprise logistics. In industrial practice, when applying lean management or any innovation i.e. change in the production process, a common problem is the lack of knowledge of the value stream as a complete system. The efforts of industrial engineers to streamline material flow and warehouse management are closely linked to the reduction of financial resources associated with operations. The paper is focused on improving performance of production process though material flow and storage efficiency increase. The aim of this paper is to describe the implemented analysis of the material and information flow of a selected product and explain the proposed solution to streamline the warehousing system in an industrial enterprise. Desired result was to adjust the size of warehouse at the line, to save production space and to optimize production process in order to maximize the proportion of time in which value is added to the product in the total continuous production time. Different methods (mathematical-statistical calculations, MIFA analysis, MIFD method, guided interview method, observation, GEMBA walk) have been used in the analysis of the current situation. In current turbulent times, when industrial enterprises are pushed to continuously innovate in order to reduce warehousing capacities, it is necessary to continuously improve performance in the context of sustainable business.
