Abstract
The article presents the issues of production analysis of iron
casts manufacturing using automated foundry lines. To streamline
the production fl ow, it was proposed to change the location of
workstations related to grinding, control and machining of casts.
Within the process of constant improvement of manufacturing
processes, the aspect of work ergonomics at a workstation was
taken into account. As a result of the undertaken actions, some
activities without added value were eliminated, effi ciency was
increased and prime costs of manufacturing casts with regard to
fi nishing treatment were lowered
