E.ON har utkontrakterat en stor del av deras dagliga verksamhet till solcellsinstallatörer. Denna outsourcing-strategi har lett till brist på kunskap över hur hela solcellsinstallationen utförs och vad det finns för förbättringsområden i den. Detta examensarbete har kartlagt hela processen i detalj för att samla in kunskap och förståelse. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla ett förslagProcess improvement work is commonly used in most businesses.

Bakgrund: Vården på en intensivvårdsavdelning är högteknologisk och patienterna som vårdas där har ofta en allvarlig svikt i vitala funktioner. Inte sällan är patienterna intuberade och påverkade av läkemedel, eller kan av annan anledning inte göra autonoma val eller vara delaktiga i sin vård. Detta kan av patienterna upplevas påfrestande och som ett lidande. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters uppleve

Vår möjlighet och i förlängningen vårt behov av att vara ständigt stimulerade har ökat drastiskt under de senaste decennierna. Vi människor verkar ha svårt för att bara vara, och när vi befinner oss i dessa lägen tenderar vi att så fort som möjligt söka oss till stimuli, även negativa sådana. Syftet med den aktuella studien var att studera människors förhållande till att “göra ingenting” och om deOur ability, and in extension our need, to constantly be stimulated has increased dramatically in the recent decades. We humans seem to have a hard time just being, and when we find ourselves in these situations we tend to seek stimuli as quickly as possible, and to some extent even negative ones. The purpose of the current study was to examine people’s relationship to “doing nothing” and whether

Given that research has repeatedly underlined the importance of engagement for the economic thriving of businesses, project teams s

Intern systemdokumentation innefattar alla de artefakter som skapas under mjukvarulivscykeln, bortsett från användardokumentation. Det är ett av de effektivaste sätten att hantera och förvalta kunskap inom organisationen med konkurrenskraft som mål. Däremot är det ett arbete som ofta blir bortprioriterat och således leder till ogynnsamma konsekvenser. Syftet med studien är därför att kartlägga hur
