“…Nowadays, manufacturing companies face considerable pressure from competition (Cenamor, 2021) and (Felsberger et al, 2022), therefore it is advisable to take measures to avoid unnecessary waste, e.g., by introducing Lean management into business processes (Hardy, Kundu and Latif, 2021) and (Juliani and de Oliveira, 2020), as modernization of production machines affects number of employees and production units at same time (Iftikhar and Nordbjerg, 2022) and (Vrabcová et al, 2022).The advantage is production efficiency and cost reduction, e.g., increased labour productivity, improved use of basic and auxiliary raw materials, fuels and energy per unit of production, including reduction of losses ( Říha et al, 2022). Costs can also be lowered by increasing production volume by fully utilizing the company's production capacity, with the consequence of reducing fixed costs per unit of output (Kokshagina, Masson and Bories, 2017a).…”
