ABSTRACT: The manufacturing sector faces considerable challenges in a dynamic and competitive environment, and process improvement is a crucial tool to enhance competitiveness and maintain long-term sustainability. This study analyses the importance of optimizing work processes in manufacturing companies and provides a comprehensive guide to enhance efficiency and productivity within these organizations. With a results-oriented approach and particular attention to continuous change management, this study aims to provide a practical guide for manufacturing companies seeking to enhance their operations and increase competitiveness in the market. Work process optimization involves enhancing work processes within an organization to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve quality, and decrease processing time. The study implements the Kanban system, widely adopted in manufacturing companies, to optimize efficiency and reduce waste. Results show 99% efficiency, meeting EU quality standards, optimizing resource utilization, minimal machine downtime, and improved production time. The study concludes that changes positively impact productivity and efficiency.
