This work is the result of a study on the production process of a company that manufactures safety features for vehicles. Repeated problems encountered in the production process significantly affect the company`s performance and reputation. The aim is to provide an overview of the problems of production, allowing identifying the causes of faults to remedy them. Once a fault has occurred and the product was delivered to the client it will be very difficult to recover both reputation and costs, and to replace the damaged stock. The paper contains arguments for the need to optimize the production processes as a whole, describing the concepts and tools used to analyse and solve a concrete case of improving the production system for a complex and sensitive product. The information obtained from the detailed analysis and improvements in the quality level, the decrease of the production costs and the keeping the delivery rate to the client are presented.
