Efficiency assessment of the use of bloch-schmigalla triangular method to improve the functioning of commercial industry enterprise

Abstract

Purpose: In order to maintain the highest possible quality of services, more and more often the 9 enterprises make use of proven optimization methods that allow them to maintain 10 competitiveness on the market. One of these methods is spatial placement of workstations that 11 influences the functioning of enterprises. There are many techniques of placing workstations, 12 depending on the business activity run by the company. 13 Design/methodology/approach: This article presents the use of Bloch-Schmigalla triangular 14 method to improve the placement of office workstations in a commercial industry enterprise. 15 The method used allowed to improve the functioning of the company by shortening the time 16 for forwarding of all documents and information. 17 Findings: The use of Bloch-Schmigalla triangular method allowed for quick placement of 18 workstations, new placement of workstations. As a result, the workstations will not be as loaded 19 and specific tasks will be performed faster. The time saved can be used to complete other tasks. 20 Thanks to Bloch-Schmigalla triangular method, the distances between the workstations are 21 equal. Before, the distances between several of the workstations were greater than in the case 22 of other ones. 23 Research limitations/implications: The major limitation of the paper is that it is based on one 24 case of an. In the future, it will be necessary to conduct studies in more organizations so as to 25 find out if the same result can be achieved. 26 Originality/ value: The article concerned the use of the Bloch-Schmigalli method to improve 27 the positioning of office spaces in a commercial industry company. Until now, this method has 28 not been used to improve the quality of work in office positions. 29
