Description

The goal of the project: increase production capacity three times, store sawdust in a safe place and use it for heating in the future, improve the quality of existing production and introduce new products, ensure continuous production.Description of the current situation and project solution: Today, the cutting of terrace fences in Dagda is done with hand tools, which does not allow to achieve the desired result in production. Our daily productivity goal is to achieve approximately 700 pcs. per day, but with a hand tool, only 320 pieces are cut on average. day. After the implementation of the project, we will be able to produce three times more - i.e. around 1000 pcs. day. Thus, the project will make it possible to radically improve production processes and hire 6 more people in the fence production line.Currently, sawdust falls on the floor during cutting. Towards the end of the working day, the premises are cleaned and all the sawdust is swept to a certain place, which is currently not a sufficiently secure storage. Sawdust is still mostly around the equipment and on the floor. Therefore, the goal of our project is not only to improve the production capacity, but also to take care of the safety of production processes. After the implementation of the project, with the help of the purchased ventilation system, sawdust will be collected in one place and stored in large bags, which will be taken out by local companies and used for their heating. Therefore, the implementation of the project will benefit not only our company, but also other entrepreneurs of Latgale.

Summary of project results

The goal of the project: to increase the production capacity three times, store sawdust in a safe place and further use it for heating, improve the quality of existing products and show new products, ensure uninterrupted production.

As a result of the implementation of the project, new equipment was purchased (multifunctional milling cutter, chip ventilation system, electricity generator set and other components), which made it possible to improve the production process at the enterprise, improve the quality and safety of products. The purchased milling cutter allows you to achieve higher cutting accuracy and speed, which could not be achieved with manual tools, with the result that the production capacity was increased. 

The goal of the project has been achieved - the production capacity has been increased three times - after the purchase of equipment, about 1000 pieces are produced per day. parts, but with a hand tool, on average, only 320 pieces were cut. Day. A new improved product was created – terrace details (fence) of the highest quality. The company has begun to produce new types of fences that could not previously beimported with manual tools. In addition, another new product was shown: sawdust. The production line for terrace fences was completely modernized and improved in terms of safety with the chip ventilation system provided for in the project. As a result of the implementation of the project  6 new employees  were hired.
