Abstract [eng] The main objective raised to this project – research existing methods for quality improvement in industry and adopt to existing manufacturing process of bio-fertilizers. The need occurred when simple calculations for product reliability were incorrect and some of the customer expectations were not met. Company had devoted budget for new machinery, facility’s and subdivision creation to stand more competitive in new product market. Product and process improved in creation of factory, but one factor left untouched – packaging. Final stage of manufacturing process is pouring fertilizers in to containers. Because of product sensitivity to medium around it, dirty environment reacts to bacteria in fertilizers and reduces its activity. For this reason sterilization of packaging canisters is required to maintain existing quality of product. Instant improvement in company is fatal for competitive market. The creation of sterilization subdivision has three stages, but before that Pareto analysis was made to find problem for product reliability loss. Sterilization method analysis helped to choose best fitting substance to apply in sterilization. Next step is to design structure for mounting canisters. For sterilization process optimal time and amount of canisters execution, stainless pipe structure was made corresponding to the full height and width of chamber. For this Solid works software where used. Solid works add in Flow motion helped to calculate air flow in metal structure and choose engine and confirm that designed pipe structure is correct and will work in existing conditions. Calculations for project price where made to count expenses for implementation. To reach higher level of company’s quality improvement implementation of reiterative canisters usage was suggested.
