Abstract

As the unpredicted situations can occur anytime, the production should be prepared to maintain the same pace as always. The pandemic of 2019 prooved that proper production processes are vital. The case study was made in metal processing company to examine how the workflow has changed after the implementations of virus prevention rules. Welding operation of metal furniture leg was observed and calculations presented – 115 minutes are wasted due to additional daily tasks caused by prevention of the pandemic.
