Abstract :It is very important to reduce costs and increase productivity because of increased competition in business life. In order to increase productivity, the process needs to be analyzed correctly. In this study, a company that produces solar energy systems is considered. Firstly, the process was analyzed using a work study. Process improvement studies were carried out on the basis of obtained results. There are two types of products namely "SEWHS (Solar Energy Water Heater Systems)” and "Boiler”. The system works as pull-out. The main problem is that when the order comes, they don’t know when to meet this demand. In order to overcome this problem, a simulation model has been developed. With the content of study, the work flow diagram and machine-equipment layouts have been developed. After that time studies have been carried out to obtain standard times for each process. Those are used in the ARENA 10.0 software and system is simulated. As a result of the simulation, the amount of products in the queue, waiting time and bottlenecks are determined. In addition, the company's ability to meet demands and the resource utilization rates of the machines have been determined. By using simulation software, company started to determine product delivery time.Keywords : Process analysis, Process improvement, Work study, Simulation
