ABSTRACT
The article presents the concept of an innovative approach to the production of a screw coupling system, a key element in rail vehicles. The use of ready-made components from various subsuppliers, combined with new quality control methods, offers an opportunity for a significant reduction in cost and production time while increasing the efficiency and flexibility of the process. Key stages of the production process are highlighted, from the selection of semifinished products, through quality control, to the final assembly and validation. The applied strategies can minimise waste, increase material efficiency, and have a positive impact on the environment. This study constitutes a significant contribution to the development of sustainable production in the railway industry, with an emphasis on organisational, process, and product innovations.
