The paper considers the optimization of technological process of manufacturing of the coils of the steam generator based on the concept of lean manufacturing. The analysis of the manufacturing process of the coils revealed problems: the yield of the pipe after conversion of the bending machine, large inventory of finished tubes, stored on the stocks vertical storage (racks), loss of time for travel, due to the placement site of flexible pipes in different spans, continuous changeover. To solve these problems were applied the principles of lean production. As a result of the optimization was able to reduce WIP 70%, to reduce logistics and remoteness of workplaces in the production flow by 10 times, reduce the time of processes for the conversion of 2 times, to reduce the risk of traces of mechanical damages on the surface of the coils.

Keywords: Lean production, value of production losses, the coils of the steam generator, and process optimization
