Abstract

The main purpose of the paper is the analysis of a process of change focusing particularly on the concept of slimmed production (Lean) and its implementation in the enterprise. A case study method was chosen as a research tool because it offers wide array of techniques and means of gaining and analysing data.A metallurgical company was evaluated as a case study in this article. Thanks to the implementation of Autonomous Maintenance the company reached a growth in skills and responsibility for work done and a reduction in malfunction at work places. Thus, total process maintenance (TPM) as one of the Lean concept tools whose implementation significantly influences industrial workers’ competences was chosen for the analysis. Referring to the bibliography on change management, the article focused on one of the changes in particular – the change in human resources management (namely in employees' skills) in steel and manufacturing companies.
