Purpose: The purpose of this study is to improve the material supply to assembly stations at Nedermans and identify parameters and principles that determine if the components should be stored at the assembly station or in the warehouse. The improvement should reduce the floor space used for assembly, increase the assembly utilization rate and reduce waste of time in the material handling.

In early 2010 Mattias Andersson, head of internal logistics at Kraft Foods production of chocolate in Upplands Väsby, experienced his factory as messy and unstructured. He suspected that the factory's inventory levels were higher than what was necessary for the production plant; in order meet its commitments. This led to "waste" represented by high cost of capital and a lot of truck

Om svenska konkursföretag som fått ren revisionsberättelse, är mer benägna att öka inkomstrelaterad EM åren innan konkurs än jämförbara friska företag går ej statistik säkerställa. Det beror framför allt på senaste gemensam lagstadgar och harmonisering av redovisningsprinciper som medfört till transparens av redovisning och därmed mindre spel rum för manipulering. Däremot går det statisktik säkers

This thesis will look at the profession of Town Planning from an economic perspective utilising New Institutional Economics (NIE) to focus on how different institutions and structures bring about trade- offs. As planning systems have considerable influence over property rights (the ability to affect one’s own lands) and over transaction costs by intervening in land markets, they are strongly conte

Krafter inom byggbranschen arbetar för att ta en mer aktiv roll i miljöfrågor, men i vissa fall saknas kunskap om vilka konkreta åtgärder som kan vidtas. En inventering av kunskapsläget för miljövänlig brandskyddsprojektering visar på kunskapsluckor beträffande brandskyddets emissioner av växthusgaser. Examensarbetet syftar till att åskådliggöra hur emissioner av växthusgaser som direkt kan tillsk

This report is a study on the notion of 'shared situation awareness' (SSA) and other similar concepts in a crisis managment environment. Its purpose is to contribute to a broader, more comprehensive understanding of various points of view on the subject. This is achieved through interviews with different kinds of users as well as a study of relevant literature and Swedish legislation. It i

This report is the documentation of my master thesis project at the School of Industrial Design at Lund University. The project is centred around exploring affective and social relations between people and a given space, in this case the interior of a car. The project takes off in a series of reflections about my assets as an industrial designer. And how my personal references and gathered informa

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Att ha tillgång till höjddata av hög kvalitet är viktigt. Enligt klimat och sårbarhetsutredningen är det bl.a. viktigt att kunna göra bra hydrologiska modeller för att kunna beräkna översvämningsrisker, eller risken för ras och skred p.g.a. framtida klimatförändringar. Flera av dessa analyser anses vara av nationellt intresse. Utredningen slår också fast att denElevation data of high quality is important. In Sweden a governmental climate and vulnerability study (Klimat och sårbarhetsutredningen) states that some analyses of vulnerability due to future climate changes, like hydrological analyses to estimate the risk of flooding, do require elevation models of high quality. The present national elevation model does not reach the accuracy requirements. Sinc

Utsläppen av växthusgaser, som till exempel koldioxid, i atmosfären leder till ökade temperaturer runt om på jorden. I tidningarna kan man läsa att den ökande temperaturen leder att glaciärer och polarisar smälter. Men ett annat problem med klimatförändringarna som ofta hamnar i skymundan i media är hur ekosystemen påverkas av de ökande temperaturerna. I det här arbetet försöker jag visa hur den öThe earth’s climate is undergoing vast and rapid chages due to the increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These changes in the atmosphere are affecting life on earth in many different ways. This degree thesis attempts to quantify the changes in vegetation phenology in Europe during the last 23 years and link these changes to changes in temperature. The phenological parameters that were stud

The city of Helsingborg in southern Sweden has long been divided by its residents between North and South – first because of economic development, and later due to immigration. The City Planning Department hopes to address this division as part of an ambitious 25-year urban development project in the industrial harbour which borders the two central, divided districts of the city – Centrum and Söde

Uppsatsen redogör för hur löneprocessen och prestationsbedömningen går till i ett konsultföretag. I företaget är lönekostnaderna den största investeringen och personalen den viktigaste resursen. Lokal och individuell lönesättning tillämpas, men ramarna för lönebildningen är fastställda i löneavtalen mellan Almega och Unionen respektive Akademikerförbunden. Lönemodellen synes vara demokratiskt utar

The employer’s right to rule is always a burning topic and many employers are currently not as familiar with the subject as they perhaps should be. High demands are placed on the employer in an employment relationship with employees, who also apply to employees. At the same time, the employer has been given, through the employer’s right to rule, the right to freely manage and allocate work in the

The aim with this master thesis is to identify similarities and differences between the UK and Swedish safety requirements for hazards at the plant level. It is also to investigate the underlying requirements for the safety documentation of those hazards. The method in the report is picked from literature studies, such as internal documents and the information published by the UK´s and Sweden’s co

‘Keeping it real’ is a common expression of authenticity in the music business, especially in subcultures such as hip-hop and reggae. By examining the dialogically constructed authenticity between an independent hip-hop and reggae artist and her audience referred to as musical followers which takes place on a stage oscillating between web-based and non web-based contexts, this thesis investigates

What are human rights? Why do we have them? Where do they come from? The attempts to answer these questions are as many and as diverse in nature as the times in which they have been asked. For centuries philosophers held the rights as God given, but have in recent times attempted to free them of these non human origins. A sign of this shift in perceptions regarding the rights has been discernable

This thesis is a documentation as well as a reflection on the participation of Sweden‘s third most populous municipality, Malmö, in Shanghai‘s World Exposition (Expo) during summer 2010. Based on my own involvement as a staff member for 1.5 months, in the thesis I wish to explore eco-branding at Malmö‘s official showcase (Malmö Case). I want to look at Malmö‘s eco-branding in an overseas context,

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: GIS som ett redskap för att se in i en möjlig framtid. Teknikutvecklingen har gått framåt med enorma steg under de senaste årtiondena. Forskningen inom luftföroreningar och ämnenas hälsoeffekter har dragit nytta av dessa framsteg bland annat genom användandet av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS). GIS är ett datorbaserat program som används för att ge rumslig The main purpose of this thesis is to look at in what different ways GIS, Geographic Information System, is used in the study of air pollution and also in the study of how air pollutions affect human health. Interest was focused on four different pollutions, because of their damage to humans. The background to why so many studies are conducted on the distribution of air pollution concentrations is

Användandet av fjärranalysdata är en viktig metod för att bestämma markanvändning och visa på förändringar i marktäcke. Fjärranalys kan ge en bättre utgångspunkt för övervakning av markytstäcke. Det gör det möjligt att geografiskt lokalisera förändrade markområden för att vidare kunna utföra noggrannare undersökningar om miljöförändringar (t.ex. markdegradering). Studieområdet är ett administrativThe use of remotely sensed data is an important method to indicate land use and land cover changes. Remote sensing can provide a better picture of monitoring land use and land cover changes. It makes it feasible to locate geographically changed areas in order to employ it further detailed studies on environmental changes (e.g. land degradation). The study area is a heterogeneous and small-structur
