Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the possibility of introducing improvements in processes concerning production logistics basing on the use of value stream mapping. An analysis of the current situation in order to identify waste and problems in the stream flow has been carried out. Subsequently, a future shape map has been drafted with a proposal concerning the manner in which future state ought to be achieved. The thesis is concluded with a general summary as well as conclusions regarding the studied subject and the proposals for further work.

Summary
Material flow and Value Stream Mapping (VSM) has been recognized for its effectiveness in improving productivity [1], product quality [2,3,4] and on-time delivery. It is a tool which gives the opportunities to the improvement of the material and information flow processes’ consistency in the Lean Manufacturing. This tool helps to understand the flow of information and materials during the route which is spend by the product in the stream of values. The aim of the paper is to present the possibility of introducing improvements in processes concerning production logistics of aircraft parts basing on the use of value stream mapping
