Examensarbetet behandlar kvalitetsproblem som kan hänföras till tillverkning, hantering och montering av kassettätningar System 500. Det har visat sig att orsakerna till läckande tätningar ofta har varit föroreningar inuti tätningarna, ofullständigt monterad fjäder, tryckmärken och skador på tätningseggen, repor på metalldelar och skägg efter formpressning. Som en avgränsning i examensarbetet har
This thesis is divided into two parts (1&2) with different but related scopes, they are both partly a response to Volvo Truck Australia's (VTA) wish to improve their supply chain. In 1998 this wish resulted in a global benchmark, of VTA's total inbound transports, being submitted to 13 global transporting companies. Being one of the responding companies, Volvo Transport delegated the d
Objective: To study how Schenker can work with packaging related issues to achieve business advantages. Problem: How is the package an important part of the supply chain? Who should make demands on packaging? Is a transportation company a main actor to help improving packaging? Is working with packaging logistics valuable for Schenker? Which requirements should the transportation company have
Climate change is considered to be among the most serious threats to the sustainability of the world's environment, the health and well being of its people and the global economy. The rising levels of greenhouse gases in the global atmosphere are expected to cause a rise in global temperatures. In Kyoto, December 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was written under which industrialised countries have ad
This examination work is the final work in our education to become a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by the University of Lund. The main purpose with this work has been to develop a new effective material handling system for TPPM AB in Lund since the existing system starts to become out of date. The future system that is going to be installed shall have the capacity to support all
The purpose of this study was to identify advantages, disadvantages and aspects that have to be considered when implementing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). MES is a rather new software system, which is linking the business systems in companies with the control systems on the factory floor. Today the communications between the different levels are mainly managed manually. Through MES th
Hur kan man skapa en fungerande, kostnadseffektiv distributionslösning för direktleverans med en hög servicenivå för att tillfredställa kund- och konsumentbehovet? Problemet kan delas upp i en teoretisk och en praktisk del. Den teoretiska delen är att det inte finns en generell lösning på problemet. Det praktiska problemet är att företaget vi studerar, Lifebox, idag inte har någon lösning. Syfte
Många företag idag är inte medvetna om hur mycket de skulle kunna spara om de hade ett väl fungerande materialhanteringssystem. Det finns idag inga standardlösningar för att optimera materialhanteringen hos företag som ger tillräcklig noggrannhet och som företag kan applicera till låga kostnader. Genom kartläggning av problemställningar inom svensk industri och handel avseende materialhantering f
Since the markets of multipacks are growing we have examined the multipacks out of the perspective of opinions, handling / distribution times and costs, and cost of producing multipack both in Sweden and the UK. Our aim has been to develop a research model that can be used for future studies of other multitask markets. The research started with a thorough field study of the Swedish and UK markets
The importance of E-commerce in the grocery and food retailing is growing and an increasing number of home delivery solutions are being studied. Some observers predict that the consumers will use e-commerce and home delivery services more and more in the future. However, these developments are affected by a number of problems, many of which are not completely understood. This thesis particularly f
Problem Statement: Make the order handling process as well as the purchasing process more efficient by constructing a loading application for transport of mixed goods in containers and trailers and to put that application in a wider packaging logistic perspective by analysing the effects of an implementation of this application. Purpose: To simplify the order handling process and the purchasi
Problem IKEA want to avoid building a DC with insufficient capacity, and with imbalances in the material flow, therefore they want to run simulations of the system to see if the material flow is of satisfaction. The focus of this report is aimed towards capacity simulations of the Silo, the automated high storage area. Purpose Run different scenarios of the Silo with different conditions in o
Conventional dairy sections are often small and most customers pass through them quickly. Arla saw this as an under-utilisation and launched a new concept called Dairy Square. This is a store within the store where the temperature is lower, the environment more pleasant for the customer and the interior specially designed to increase sales. The concept has so far been a success. Arla have complet
Förändringar i europeisk lagstiftning har gett producenten ett ansvar för återvinning av använda förpackningar. Den nya lagstiftningen skall vara implementerad i de nationella lagarna senast den 30 juni 1996. Inga förpackningar får om fem år introduceras på marknaden om det inte finns ett uppbyggt återvinningssystem. Dessutom ställer lagstiftningen krav på att mängd förpackningsmaterial som använd
Cycle time has a direct influence on number of returnable crates needed and therefore a crucial parameter for cost structure and pricing of the user fec in the pool system. For providing the growing market, number of crates has to increase as well as the utilization of existing crates. To accomplish this aim, cycle time for the whole supply chain has to be fully unravelled and understand. The pu
The 17th September 2001 the distributor Schenker started to cooperate with the computer systems manufacturer Dell to deliver Dell's products to the Nordic market. In the beginning of a new cooperation new processes are formed and they are often developed to solve the local, immediate problems without considering the overall picture. In the distribution network from Dell's plants in Ire
This work has been done for Tetra Pak Distribution (TPD) at the Department of Engineering Logistic at the Lund Institute of Technology. My task was mainly to create a set of simulation models based on the Tetra Pak Distribution Lines. These models are going to be used by TPD to try to analyse the effect of the accumulation systems on the line efficiency. The inputs for the models are failure rate
The aim of this essay is to examine four floor mosaics from private dwellings in Pompeii. These 1st century floor mosaics decorate the fauces of the houses and they all depict watchdogs. The first question to be asked is if there are other common features between the houses that can explain why these house owners chose this figure. The second question is if you can reveal, from the existing knowle
Denna uppsats beskriver artefaktfynd som gjorts inom området. Genom att tidsbestämma artefakterna och i den mån det är möjligt att fastställa dess fyndplatser skapas ett spridningsmönster. Genom att samtidig granska klimat, havsnivå och topografi mm skapas genom bearbetning och analys, diskussion och tolkning en schematisk bild över undersökningsområdets utveckling. Av denna kan man utläsa hur omr
The goals of this essay are to identify rituals and ritual behavior at the department of archaeology and ancient history at Lund University. To do this a series of empirical examinations was conducted. Observations, interviews and polls revealed that some ritual behavior is in fact present. Two types of rituals were identified; the interaction ritual, as presented by Erving Goffman in the book Int
