Full textAbstract:
Welding of elements, a heat exchanging component, is one of the most essential processes during the manufacturing of Tubel evaporators. Weld joints consists of fillet welds of thin tubes against a plate on one end, and on the other end against a thicker pipe with entry holes for the tubes. Since earlier a welding robot station has been invested to the production line to improve manufacturing quality and productivity. The results from the robot welding hasn’t been reliable enough though, and have led to additional operations to fix the problems that has occurred.This thesis project has the objective to investigate and analyse the problems occurred from earlier use of the robot station. The main challenges of the process have been identified and key factors that influence the welding performance are recognised to fully understand the problem. A list of improvement actions has then been proposed by first hand considering in terms of quality and productivity. The improvement actions are then evaluated by test welding.Materials used in the component and during test welding are either duplex or austenitic stainless steels, which weldability differs significantly between these. Related discontinuities and defects are similar for both material, but occurrences of these are higher when welding duplex steels.Improvement actions has included positioning of the electrode, parameter optimization, modification of robot equipment, base material improvements and welding sequence. Results of welding austenitic steels was considerably better and showed good results after the test welding, while welding of duplex steel likely needs design modification of the component to satisfy quality requirements and standards.Svetsning av element, en värmeväxlande komponent, är en av de viktigaste processerna under tillverkningen av Tubel-indunstare. Svetsningen som förekommer är kälfogar av tunna tuber mot en plåt på ena änden, och på andra ändra änden mot ett tjockare rör med ingångshål för tuberna. Sedan tidigare har en svetsrobotstation investerats i produktionslinjen för att förbättra tillverkningen gällande kvalitet och produktivitet. Däremot har inte resultaten från denna varit tillfredsställande nog, som lett till extra arbete för att åtgärda de problem som förekommit.Detta examensarbete har syftet att undersöka och analysera de svetsrelaterade problem som funnits sedan den tidigare användningen av robotstationen. Huvudutmaningarna av processen har blivit identifierade och nyckelfaktorerna som påverkar svetsprestanda är undersökta för att så fullt som möjligt förstå sig på problemet. En lista av förbättringsförslag har tagits fram som i första hand betraktar förslag gällande kvalitet och produktivitet. Dessa förbättringsförslag har sedan utvärderats genom testsvetsning.Material som använts i komponenterna och under testsvetsningen har antingen varit duplex- eller austenitiskt rostfritt stål, vilkets svetsbarhet skiljer sig väsentligt från varandra. Relaterade diskontinuiteter och defekter är lika mellan båda dessa stål, men förekomsten är betydligt högre då duplexa stål svetsas.Förbättringsåtgärder har omfattat svetspositionering av elektroden, parameteroptimering, modifikation av robotutrustning, åtgärder av basmaterial och svetssekvenser. Testsvetsning av austenitiskt rostfritt har varit betydligt enklare och gett goda resultat, medans svetsning av duplexstål förmodligen behöver förbättrande åtgärder av komponentdesignen för att klara av de krav som kvalitetskrav och standarder ställer.

Full textAbstract:
The component development within the product development projects at St. Jude Medical AB (SJM AB*) is considered to be inefficient and is in need for improvements. This master thesis was initiated by the Material Supply and Mechanical and Leads Development departments at SJM AB and it has been carried out between January and June, 2005. The purpose for this master thesis is to try to find what is negatively affecting the component development at SJM AB and what needs to be done in order to make it more efficient. The project consists of an extensive survey phase, where the problem areas negatively affecting the¨component development have been mapped. It started with a brainstorming session, which resulted in a substantial Ishikawa diagram, where many causes to the inefficient component development were defined. The major causes in the Ishikawa diagram were prioritized by employees within the product development projects, in order to receive information about which of these causes that were considered to be the largest bottlenecks. In order to visualize the current flow in the component development and to map the problem areas in these flows, workshops were held with three different product development projects. The results from the Ishikawa diagram and the reflections from the workshops were analyzed and they resulted in the continuous work for the remaining time of the project. The continuous work was decided to include the two problem areas; the Internal Component Management and the Suppliers. The results delivered by this project are an extensive survey of the problem areas, which negatively affect the component development, a list of improvement proposals for the internal component management and a checklist, which is to be used as an aid when reviewing the design material before

Summary Objective - The objective of this research study is to develop improvement proposals for an ordering handling system of uncontrolled packaging materials. By analysing data from related products in combination with observations and interviews the following research questions were answered to reach the purpose of the study: How can reordering points and inventory handling of uncontrolled packaging materials be structured? What would be the advantage of implement and plan uncontrolled packaging materials in an ERP system? Method - By studying a business phenomenon without firstly determine a theoretical background, the approach of this report has been through inductive research. By first observing the problem and connecting it to related theories the problem could be analysed and processed according to a theoretical approach. Results - The findings of the study show that data of uncontrolled materials can be derived through the connection of relevant products by using a breakdown structure. By this approach data and forecasts of related products could be summarized and used as a calculation basis for a reordering point system. The advantages of implementing reordering points of uncontrolled materials into an ERP system resulted in a reduction of non-value adding activities, reduction of maximal inventory, reduced tied-up capital, and to a controlled ordering handling. Implications - To further the study area of uncontrolled materials the researchers suggest that studies within other areas than packaging material is examined with a similar approach. Parts of the study, such as the combined demand and productmapping, could be applied in projects with more complex structures to explore the limitations of the method. This would increase the knowledge base on how to structure and control materials that do not follow any system. Furthermore, the scope of the report has been to focus on high volume packaging materials and therefore it would be interesting to see the approach applied to low volume products or materials. Restrictions - As data of this study is created by connection of related products it entails that similar circumstances exist if the project is to be replicated. Furthermore, the study is solely focused on the inventory department which could be a delimitation. Charts and data illustrations – In the report charts and data are manipulated according to the confidentiality agreement with the case company. The provided examples illustrate the relation between different factors although does not reveal any true data derived from the case company.

Purpose: Today the amount of Eco labelled multi-family houses are increasing. The Nordic Swan is a well-known certification that has grown a lot when it’s comes to certifying multi-family houses in Sweden. Unlike other well-known ecolabels there are not many studies done on the Nordic Swan. By studying the certification, and its establishment, in two large projects the goal of this study is to pinpoint weaknesses in the process of attaining the Nordic Swan and then make improvement proposals.Method: In order to provide improvement proposals, a qualitative study was chosen. A study of literature and a document analysis is the foundation of the study by taking theoretical aspects into account, within the Nordic Swan and multi-family housing. The chosen qualitative method is also based on semi structured interviews. The interview respondents were selected as: two production supervisors, a site manager, a quality and environmental coordinator, a project manager and a project developer. All respondents are working daily with the projects, characterized by the Nordic Swan. The different persons were chosen to obtain a high validity of the study. To further increase the validity and its reliability, respondents were given back the empirical data so that they could make further comments and revisions. Reliability was assured by providing well-designed questions.Findings: The goal refers to improvements with the certification, propelling to new knowledge, within the area of the subject. The empirical investigation shows recurring problems with the product database within the certification, seen from the respondent’s experiences of working with the Nordic Swan in projects. They’ve informed about challenges that comes with respective working process. The certification is solid and gives a qualitative product, but has a time-consuming learning process. Overall, the respondent’s focused on the way of working with the ecolabel and the organisations way of managing the product database, both for an older and a new version.The improvement proposals that results from an analyzation of interviews concerns the communication between the Nordic Swan and its customers, how the Nordic Swan’s product database can improve when future versions releases and how the ecolabel could accomplish a greater eco-impact to the projects by promoting “green innovations”.Limitations: The study is limited to the application of the Nordic Swan in multi-family housing in two large projects. As the guidelines in the process do not differ between companies, the result can be considered general. Retrieving information from even more companies on the other hand could have resulted in a more accurate overall result.Implications: The drawn conclusion from the thesis is that the result creates opportunities for improving the certification process. It can also be used to get more companies to use the Nordic Swan. It provides an opportunity for both companies and individuals to farm an understanding regarding the certification.Kvarteret Mars, Kolla Parkstad.

Full textAbstract:
The doctoral thesis is dealing with the phenomenon of economic crime in the context of Nepal, i.e. a developing country situated between two big emerging States, China and India. The study starts by explaining objectives and methods of the work, then it gives a short overview about the actual social, economic and political situation of Nepal. Chapter 3 concentrates on the definitions of "economic crime" and describes seven different types, starting with corruption and ending with money laundering. The explanation of these various types is completed by sketching the relevant working agencies the task of which is to fight against specific crimes. In the next chapter, the author at first shows the structure of the Nepali legal order and organisation, before he is looking at various laws/acts relating to economic crime. At the end of chapter 4, he is trying to compare those laws and to assess their stringency and efficiency. Chapter 5 deals more detailledly with relevant working agencies and is structured similar to the previous one, i.e. it explains the organisation, task and powers of each agency as well as their cooperation and, at the end, it tries to assess common features, parallels as well as divergencies between them. Chapter 6 is based upon field studies of the author. On the one hand, it shows the results from questionnaires which were handed out to a lot of persons in Nepal and which might give a rather broad impression about various aspects of economic crime in this country. On the other hand, a very prominent case (Governor and Director of Nepal Rastra Bank) is looked at more intensively, and the author has scanned important original documents in order to give a clear account of its main features. At last, by summing up theoretical, normative and empirical components the author has been caused to deliver some proposals of his own for remedies relating to economic crime, in particular concerning improvements of control mechanisms and establishing a single working agency with different departments for the fight against economic crimeDie rechtswissenschaftliche Dissertation befasst sich mit dem Phänomen von "economic crime" (Wirtschaftsstraftaten) im Kontext Nepals, d.h. eines Entwicklungslandes, das zwischen zwei großen Schwellenländern, China und Indien, gelegen ist. Die Untersuchung beginnt mit einer Erläuterung von Zielen und Methoden der Arbeit und gibt dann einen kurzen Überblick über die gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und politische Lage Nepals. Kap. 3 widmet sich den Definitionen von "economic crime" und beschreibt sieben unterschiedliche Typen, von Korruption bis Geldwäsche. Die Darstellung dieser verschiedenen Typen wird ergäzt durch einen Blick auf die zuständigen staatlichen Stellen, die mit dem Kampf gegen "economic crime" befasst sind. Im nächsten Kapitel zeigt der Verfasser zunächst die Struktur der Rechtsordnung und Staatsorganisation Nepals auf, bevor er sich zahlreichen Rechtsvorschriften bezüglich "economic crime" zuwendet. Am Schluss des 4. Kapitels ist er bestrebt, diese Vorschriften zu vergleichen und ihre Stringenz und Effizienz zu würdigen. Kap. 5 befasst sich ausführlicher mit den zuständigen (Verwaltungs-) Stellen und ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie das vorherige, d.h. es erläutert Aufbau, Aufgabe und Befugnisse jeder Stelle sowie deren Zusammenarbeit und versucht schließlich, Gemeinsamkeiten, Parallelen und Unterschiede zu verdeutlichen. Kap. 6 stützt sich auf Feldstudien des Verfassers. Einerseits zeigt es die Ergebnisse einer Erhebung per Fragebogen auf, den eine Vielzahl von Personen in Nepal erhielten und ausfüllten und durch den wichtige Eindrücke über verschiedene Aspekte von "economic crime" in diesem Land vermittelt werden. Andererseits wird ein überaus prominenter Fall (Gouverneur und Direktor der Nepal Rastra Bank) eigehender erörtert und der Verfasser gibt im Text wichtige Originaldokumente wieder, um die wesentlichen Züge dieses Vorfalls deutlich zu machen. Abschließend stützt sich der Verfasser auf theoretische, normative und empirische Erkenntnisse zur Unterbreitung eigener Vorschläge für Maßnahmen ("remedies") gegen "economic crime", vor allem im Hinblick auf eine Verbesserung der Überwachung und des Vollzugs sowie der Errichtung einer einzigen zuständigen Behörde mit mehreren Abteilungen zum Kampf gegen Wirtschaftsstraftaten

Full textAbstract:
Wireless networks nowadays are more affordable and faster than ever and thus many companies incorporate wireless solutions into their networks. However, a lot of challenges are introduced with wireless implementations and knowing how to make the best use of one’s equipment can lead to increased quality of experience, higher security, and improved manageability. The Stockholm based company NetEnt has recently moved into a new office and enhancements on its new wireless network are to be implemented throughout the year. Wireless networks are complex to implement and even if the installation works properly there are still improvements that could be made. The presumption is that such improvements could lead to increased delivery quality for NetEnt. Thus, the main goal of this thesis work is to create a proposal of improvements based on best practices for NetEnt. During the thesis work, an investigation has been conducted to find general wireless network recommendations and vendor specific best practices. Recommendations were found in areas such as 802.11 frequency bands and standards, forwarding architecture, security, and management. The study showed that few recommendations alone would make a significant difference, but together they could make a noticeable boost to the network. The recommendations were compared to NetEnt’s network and an analysis of the differences was performed. The study showed that some advocated proposals were already met while other were planned to be implemented in a near future. The conducted analysis includes the remainder of best practices and is to be seen as a proposal of improvements, which is expected to help NetEnt’s IT department to increase the overall condition of the network.

Full textAbstract:
This research addresses, from the lean thinking standpoint, the product development process (PDP) and the project process for multifamily vertical residences of the real estate development market. The concept phase and the production phase became farther apart, so there are numerous professionals employed on different stages and functions, but without proper integration among them. Integration amongst those involved in the construction process improves the quality of the project, adds value and eliminates losses. However, traditional project managing is obsolete because: (1) it does not consider the workflow; (2) it does not consider the predictability of the workflow; and (3) it does not measure the planning systemâs performance. To do a project using the lean concept includes a new way of thinking (lean) and incorporates new tools or work methods. Therefore, this paper proposes the following research question: how to improve the project process and the PDP in real estate ventures by applying the philosophy of lean thinking? Aiming at resolving the research question, this paperâs goal is to propose guidelines to increase efficiency of product development process and real estate developmentâs project process, based on the philosophy of lean thinking. As theoretical basis for this work, a review study was conducted on the literature related to planning methods and control of project process, real estate PDP, on the new production (lean thinking) and project (lean design) philosophy, and also on Building Information Modeling (BIM). This is a qualitative research of applied nature. The research strategy used was an exploratory-descriptive analysis of multiple case studies, which came from cases of development and construction companies that already adopt lean construction in their production process. After the collection and the analysis, guidelines were suggested to improve the project process and the real estate PDP. The applicability of the guidelines is conditioned to the specificities of the companies analyzed here, though not compromising their use in other construction and development companies with similar characteristics. From this paper, other companies can evaluate their maturity level with regards to lean processes and create stages and goals to attain the optimum point of PDP and real estate project design.Esta pesquisa aborda o processo de desenvolvimento de produto (PDP) e o processo de projeto do mercado de incorporaÃÃo imobiliÃria residencial multifamiliar vertical, sob a Ãtica do pensamento enxuto. As etapas de concepÃÃo e de produÃÃo tornaram-se mais distantes entre si, havendo diversos profissionais alocados em etapas e funÃÃes diferentes e sem uma devida integraÃÃo entre eles. A integraÃÃo entre as diferentes partes envolvidas na construÃÃo melhora a qualidade do projeto, agregando valor e eliminando perdas. Contudo, o gerenciamento de projetos tradicional à obsoleto, pois: (1) nÃo considera o fluxo do trabalho; (2) nÃo considera a previsibilidade do fluxo de trabalho; e (3) nÃo mede o desempenho do sistema de planejamento. A elaboraÃÃo de projeto utilizando o conceito lean inclui um novo pensamento (enxuto) e a incorporaÃÃo de diferentes ferramentas ou mÃtodos de trabalho. Assim, este trabalho propÃe a seguinte questÃo de pesquisa: como melhorar o processo de projeto e o PDP em empreendimentos imobiliÃrios atravÃs da filosofia do pensamento enxuto? Visando atender à questÃo de pesquisa, o objetivo deste trabalho à propor diretrizes para aumentar a eficiÃncia do processo de desenvolvimento do produto e do processo de projeto de empreendimentos imobiliÃrios, tomando como base a filosofia do pensamento enxuto. Foi realizada uma revisÃo bibliogrÃfica relacionada aos mÃtodos de planejamento e controle do processo de projeto, PDP imobiliÃrio, a nova filosofia de produÃÃo (pensamento enxuto) e de projeto (lean design) e Building Information Modeling (BIM) como embasamento teÃrico da pesquisa. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza aplicada. A estratÃgia de pesquisa adotada foi o estudo de caso mÃltiplo, com carÃter exploratÃriodescritivo. Os estudos de caso foram realizados em empresas incorporadoras e construtoras que jà adotam a construÃÃo enxuta em seu processo produtivo. ApÃs as etapas de coleta e anÃlise, foram propostas diretrizes para melhoria do processo de projeto e PDP imobiliÃrio. A aplicabilidade das diretrizes fica condicionada Ãs especificidades das empresas pesquisadas sem comprometer a aplicaÃÃo em outras empresas construtoras e incorporadoras com caracterÃsticas semelhantes. A partir desse trabalho, outras empresas podem avaliar o grau de maturidade quanto a processos enxutos e trilhar etapas e metas de evoluÃÃo atà um ponto Ãtimo de PDP e de projeto imobiliÃrio.

Compton, Catherine Renae. "An adaptive reuse proposal for the Farmland, Indiana, Opera House." Virtual Press, 2002. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1231397.
Full textAbstract:
Farmland, Indiana, located approximately twenty (20) miles east of Muncie, has been successfully engaged in a revitalization effort since the early 1990s. Although several significant historic buildings have been adaptively reused, others, including the Opera House, are only partially occupied. The continuation of future redevelopment efforts rests on whether these buildings can be preserved and adaptively reused in a manner that supports the revitalization goals the town has established and in which they are committed.The structure was constructed in 1889 and owned by P.M. Bly. Bly and John H. Thornburg, owned a drugstore together in the north retail space on the first floor and the south retail space was rented out to other businesses. Presently the first floor of the Opera House, which was constructed in 1889, is occupied by a Pizza King, which has been there for since the early 1990s. The second floor, which was originally used as an opera house, has been sitting vacant for over twenty years.This creative project documents the current condition of the building and proposes two options of adaptive reuse for the building owner to consider. The format and content of this project was modeled after adaptive reuse studies by two Indianapolis, Indiana architecture firms. Also, a synopsis of several interviews the author had with professionals who deal with the adaptive reuse of historic buildings is included. Architects, contractors, historic preservationists, and a market analyst were among those interviewed and their views afford the reader an insight into current attitudes among professionals involved in historic preservation and adaptive reuse.The project portion of this proposal includes: a brief history of the building; a conditions assessment through photographs and written text; existing floor plans and elevations; a synopsis of the American Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility evaluation; and preservation and adaptive reuse recommendations. In addition, two schemes, or concepts, of adaptive reuse are included, with each containing: floor plans and elevations; a preliminary cost estimate and pro forma; and a summary of historic tax credits and grant programs that are applicable. Furthermore, the option which is most desirable for the historic context of the building and the future economic development of Farmland has been developed through design with an interior design package, which includes a furniture plan, furniture options, and a color scheme.This project is primarily an academic exercise intended to help the author learn the process of preparing a comprehensive adaptive reuse proposal. However, this project was also chosen with the hopes of inspiring the current building owner to develop the property by providing a substantial amount of objective and professional quality information and documentation. Thus, the format developed is that which a professional design firm would use, as opposed to an academic format. Through dissemination of this project to local leaders of preservation and redevelopment efforts, it is also hoped that it will aid in garnering public support to preserve and reuse.Department of Architecture

As reservas são os principais ativos responsáveis pela valoração das companhias petrolíferas frente ao mercado mundial. No entanto, para definir qualquer volume de hidrocarboneto como reserva, se faz necessária a construção de um plano de desenvolvimento para explorar e comercializar todo óleo e gás disponíveis. Com isso, o conhecimento prévio do volume de hidrocarbonetos se torna estratégico para antecipar o desenvolvimento e facilitar a obtenção de investimentos. O objetivo dessa dissertação é propor uma metodologia de previsão de reservas através de melhorias nos métodos propostos por Knoring et al. (1999) e Barcelos (2006). A primeira melhoria se refere à otimização do ajuste dos modelos propostos às séries históricas de volume recuperável através de um método iterativo para fornecer soluções iniciais ao método de estimativa dos mínimos quadrados não lineares. A segunda melhoria ocorre no processo de escolha do melhor modelo, evitando que todo o processo necessite ser revisto após a inserção de novos dados às series históricas a cada ano. Para analisar a eficácia do trabalho proposto, o método é aplicado à 7 séries históricas de volume recuperável e comparadas com a atual metodologia de previsão de reservas utilizada pela companhia patrocinadora do estudo.
Reserves are the main assets responsible for valuation of oil companies in the world market. However, to set any volume of hydrocarbon as reserves, it is necessary to develop a business plan to exploit and commercialize all oil and gas available. Therefore, the prior knowledge of the volume of hydrocarbons becomes strategic to anticipate the development and facilitate the acquisition of investments. The goal of this dissertation is to propose a methodology for reserves forecasting through improvements in the methods proposed by Knoring et al. (1999) and Barcelos (2006). The first improvement is related to optimize the fit of the proposed models for recoverable volume time series via an iterative method to provide initial solutions to the nonlinear least squares estimation method. The second improvement occurs in the process of choosing the best model avoiding the whole process needs to be revised after inserting new data to historical series each year. To analyze the effectiveness of the proposed work, the method is applied to seven recoverable volume time series and compared with the current methodology of reserves forecasting used by the company sponsoring the study.

Full textAbstract:
The insertion of lean in construction together with its benefits arises the corporate interest in adopting the lean philosophy in the office, which is called lean office. The extermination of the existing waste and defining improvements in office focused on flows of document, process and information related to customers are challenges to achieving these improvements. Furthermore, most companies have little knowledge regarding their administrative processes what makes it difficult to diagnose activities that do not add value, culminating in the questioning of "how to minimize the waste generated in the administrative area of construction companies?". Faced with this problem, this paper aims to propose improvements in administrative processes of a construction company in the light of lean thinking philosophy. Furthermore, it also aims to critically analyze these processes mapped streams in search of waste; elaborate Value Stream Mapping (VSM) for future state and analyze the interfaces between administrative sectors mapped. To obtain these goals, the methodology used was divided into three steps: choose the value stream, study case and data analysis. The choice of the value stream comprises the definition of the administrative sectors of the company that would be studied, namely supply, maintenance, finance, accounting and human resources. Since the study case was divided into five phases: formulation of Value Stream Mapping (VSM) in the current state of the chosen sectors, identifying lean metrics which would be able to demonstrate the impact of efforts to implement the improvements, study of the interface between these administrative sectors, validation of the proposals for improvements and drafts of VSMs in the future state. Data analysis consisted of VSMs in current state and sources of evidence used, the diagnosis of the waste in processes and their respective classifications and analysis of proposals suggested improvements that could optimize the flow of sectors. Furthermore, the interface of mapped sectors was also analyzed. The research findings point to the choice of five administrative departments, namely supplies, maintenance, finance, accounting and human resources. For each sector a VSM was prepared in current and future states identifying theirs losses and ratings and the proposed improvements can demonstrate effectiveness through estimation of Task Accomplishment Times (TATs) and Permanence length (PL). Finally, we designed a generalized VSM involving all sectors, which enabled to illustrate how interaction between departments and key information exchanged between them in one sketch.A inserÃÃo do lean na construÃÃo civil em conjunto com os benefÃcios advindos por ele vem impulsionando o interesse das empresas na adoÃÃo da filosofia lean no escritÃrio, a qual à denominada de lean office. O extermÃnio dos desperdÃcios existentes e a definiÃÃo de melhorias no escritÃrio focada nos fluxos de documento, de processos e de informaÃÃes vinculadas aos clientes sÃo desafios impostos a concretizaÃÃo destas melhorias. AlÃm disso, o pouco conhecimento das empresas a respeito de seus processos administrativos acaba dificultando o diagnostico destas atividades que nÃo agregam valor, culminando no questionamento de âcomo minimizar os desperdÃcios gerados na Ãrea administrativa de empresas construtoras?â. Diante desta problemÃtica, esta dissertaÃÃo objetiva propor melhorias nos processos administrativos de uma empresa construtora à luz da filosofia do pensamento enxuto. AlÃm disso, visa tambÃm analisar criticamente os fluxos mapeados destes processos na busca de desperdÃcios; elaborar os mapeamentos dos fluxos de valor (MFV) futuro e analisar as interfaces entre os setores administrativos mapeados. Para a obtenÃÃo destas metas, a metodologia utilizada foi dividida em trÃs etapas: escolha do fluxo de valor, estudo de caso e anÃlise de dados. A escolha do fluxo de valor compreendeu na definiÃÃo de quais os setores administrativos da empresa que seriam estudados. Jà o estudo de caso foi dividido em cinco fases: elaboraÃÃo dos Mapeamentos de Fluxo de Valor (MFVs) no estado atual dos setores escolhidos, identificaÃÃo de mÃtricas leans capazes de demonstrar o impacto dos esforÃos de implementaÃÃo das melhorias, estudo da interface entre estes setores administrativos, validaÃÃo de propostas de melhorias e esboÃo dos MFVs no estado futuro. A anÃlise de dados compreendeu os MFVs atuais e as fontes de evidÃncias utilizadas, o diagnÃstico de desperdÃcios dos processos e suas respectivas classificaÃÃes e a anÃlise de propostas de melhorias sugeridas que pudesse otimizar o fluxo dos setores. AlÃm disso, foi analisada tambÃm a interface dos setores mapeados. Os resultados de pesquisa apontam a escolha de cinco departamentos administrativos, sendo eles suprimentos, manutenÃÃo, financeiro, contabilidade e recursos humanos. Para cada setor foi elaborado o MFV nos estados atuais e futuros, identificadas as perdas e suas classificaÃÃes e validadas as propostas de melhorias capazes de demonstrar eficÃcia atravÃs da estimativa dos tempos de realizaÃÃo das atividades (TRAs) e dos tempos de permanÃncias (TPs).

The objective of this research is to propose improvements in the civil construction product development process (PDP), making use of information arising from customers as way. This improvement is obtained through insertion of information about customers necessities in product development process. For this, theoretical approaches were made about civil constructionn sector characteristics and
particularitities, about the importance of the captation of customer s information under marketing view and its translation in specifications to the product, and about the
concept and use of product development. Initially, it was necessary to define what will be product development process in Civil Constructionl for, then, improvements
can be proposed. Thus, from the study of case, carried in a builder enterprise of Fortaleza, research tools were made to be applied (on internet, builder store, by estate agents and building place) in order to catch customers necessities and desires. After the assessment about company managerial structure and interviews with managers, it was diagnosised the company s PDP. Through the tool Date flow Diagram (DFD), adapted to the survey necessities, it was possible to analyse the infomation flows from customers arising from each point of contact between they and the company. After the assessement of flows, the tools, to catch customers necessities, were made and its results were put in the company product development process. After this, new information flows were made with research tools proposed, and it was realized the creation of a direct communication channel to the company department responsible for products development. The use, formalized, of information from customers brought immediate results for the product that was being developed during the survey because allowed the precisely identification of items that add value to the undertaking.Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor melhorias ao processo de desenvolvimento de produto (PDP) da construÃÃo civil utilizando as informaÃÃes provenientes dos clientes como meio. Esta melhoria à conseguida mediante a inserÃÃo das informaÃÃes a respeito das necessidades dos clientes no processo de desenvolvimento de produto. Para isso, foram feitas abordagens teÃricas sobre as caracterÃsticas e particularidades do setor de construÃÃo civil, acerca da importÃncia caracterÃsticas e particularidades do setor de construÃÃo civil, acerca da importÃncia da captaÃÃo das informaÃÃes dos clientes à luz do marketing e a traduÃÃo destas em especificaÃÃes para o produto, e do conceito e prÃtica do desenvolvimento de produto. Inicialmente, foi necessÃrio definir o que seria o processo de desenvolvimento de produto na construÃÃo civil para, a partir desse ponto, se poder propor melhorias. Sendo assim, atravÃs do estudo de caso realizado em uma construtora de Fortaleza, foram desenvolvidas ferramentas de pesquisa que tiveram contato deste com a empresa (loja, obra, Internet, corretor). ApÃs a anÃlise da estrutura organizacional da empresa e da realizaÃÃo de entrevistas com os intervenientes, diagnosticou-se o PDP existente. Por meio da ferramenta Diagrama de Fluxo de Dados (DFD), adaptada Ãs necessidades da pesquisa, pÃde-se analisar o fluxo de informaÃÃes provenientes dos clientes nos diversos pontos de contato deste com a empresa. ApÃs a anÃlise dos fluxos, foram criadas as ferramentas para captaÃÃo das necessidades dos clientes e os seus resultados foram inseridos no processo de desenvolvimento de produto da empresa. Em seguida, foram montados novamente os fluxos de informaÃÃes, agora coma s ferramentas propsotas, e se verificou a criaÃÃo de um canal de comunicaÃÃo direto com o setor da empresa responsÃvel pelo desenvolvimento de produtos. A formalizaÃÃo da utilizaÃÃo das informaÃÃes provenientes dos clientes trouxe resultados imediatos para o produto que estava em desenvolvimento durante a pesquisa, pois se identificou com maior precisÃo o fato de que itens agregavam valora ao empreendimento.

Full textAbstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgicoIn Brazil, the last decades have seen the introduction of the private sector in housing provision policies. In this scenario, the government reduced its participation in the process, focusing solely on the roles as a articulator and performing regulatory tasks , through lending to constr uction and obtainment of housing ; context into which the My House My Life program (PMCMV) resides. Simultaneously, post - occupancy evaluation's researches (POE) have gained more prominence in the diagnostics concerning housing production in the country, contributing with essential information to feedback into the design p rocess and to encourage improvements in the quality of the environment built, generating greater value to customers. In this sense, both the POE studies and the specific evaluation studies concerning the measurement of satisfaction levels find validation i n theories and methodologies that have arisen from Psychology, e.g. Environmental Psychology and Social Representations. From this context, the research that is referred to in this document aims to propose improvements to social - interest housing projects ( HIS), from the perspective of the end user. Therefore, by means of adopting a multiple case study as a research strategy, projects delivered from PMCMV (track 1) in CearÃ, were seized as the object and the residents that received the benefits were seized a s the subject. Using multiple data collection instruments, individual interviews and focus groups amongst them, comments of a positive, neutral and negative nature were captured concerning various aspects of housing, as divulged by the participating reside nts during the application of the instruments of data collection. After organizing the collected data into tables, the respondents' points of satisfaction and dissatisfaction concerning the pro duct received were identified; f urthermore, through the applic ation of tools designed for this very purpose, the relevance bestowed by the participants to various aspects of housing were measured. Subsequently, the dissatisfactions detected were turned into improvement guidelines for future development of HIS, consid ering, thusly, the perspective of end users. Finally, contributions to proposals that aim to improve the quality of housing developments were made, through the use of tools derived from the person - environment studies
No Brasil, as Ãltimas dÃcadas assistiram à introduÃÃo do setor privado nas polÃticas de provisÃo habitacional. Nesse cenÃrio, o poder pÃblico reduziu sua participaÃÃo no processo, concentrando-se nas tarefas de regulamentador e articulador, atravÃs da concessÃo de crÃdito para construÃÃo e obtenÃÃo de moradias; contexto este no qual se insere o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida (PMCMV). Paralelamente, as pesquisas de avaliaÃÃo de pÃs-ocupaÃÃo (APO) vÃm conquistando um maior destaque no diagnÃstico da produÃÃo habitacional do paÃs, contribuindo com informaÃÃes essenciais para retroalimentar o processo de projeto e promover a melhoria da qualidade dos ambientes construÃdos, gerando maior valor para os clientes. Neste sentido, tanto os estudos de APO, quanto os estudos especÃficos de avaliaÃÃo de satisfaÃÃo encontram validade nas teorias e metodologias oriundas, por exemplo, da Psicologia, como a Psicologia ambiental e a Teoria das RepresentaÃÃes Sociais. A partir deste contexto, a pesquisa à qual se refere o presente documento visa à proposiÃÃo de diretrizes de melhorias para projetos de habitaÃÃo de interesse social (HIS), a partir da visÃo dos clientes finais. Para tanto, atravÃs da adoÃÃo de um estudo de caso mÃltiplo como estratÃgia de pesquisa, utilizou-se como objeto, os empreendimentos entregues pelo PMCMV (faixa 1) no Cearà e, como sujeitos, os moradores beneficiados. Utilizando-se mÃltiplos instrumentos de coleta de dados, dentre os quais grupos focais e entrevistas individuais, foram capturados comentÃrios de cunho positivos, neutros e negativos acerca de diversos aspectos da moradia, proferidos pelos moradores participantes durante as aplicaÃÃes dos instrumentos de coleta de dados. ApÃs organizaÃÃo dos dados coletados em tabelas, foram identificados os pontos de satisfaÃÃo e insatisfaÃÃo dos respondentes com relaÃÃo ao produto recebido; alÃm disso, atravÃs da aplicaÃÃo de instrumento para este fim, foram medidas as importÃncias conferidas pelos participantes a diversos aspectos da moradia. Posteriormente, as insatisfaÃÃes detectadas foram transformadas em diretrizes de melhoria para empreendimentos futuros em HIS, considerando, desta forma, a Ãtica dos clientes finais. Por fim, contribuiu-se com proposiÃÃes que objetivam a melhoria de qualidade de EHIS, atravÃs do uso de ferramentas derivadas dos estudos pessoa-ambiente.

However, these processes are less efficient in importing companies of the SME sector. Therefore, this article proposes the application of a change management model to improve the logistics process that generates a real transformation. This model is structured in three phases: first, pre-Implementation, which refers to participatory leadership and resistance to change; second, implementation of logistics management; and third, sustainability of the model over time. The model was validated in a Peruvian SME importer of household goods, whose satisfactory results implied an increase in available storage capacity, reduction of logistics costs, satisfaction of change, and organizational culture.

Full textAbstract:
Population grow in recent years requires an extension of the current pipeline sanitary system. For this purpose, granular excavation and landfill works are associated with pedestrian traffic congestion. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an innovative and sustainable alternative to reduce the problems generated during the execution of the conventional process. This research proposes the use of flowable fill due to the multiple advantages offered by this material. On the one hand, it is economical for medium to large trench fill volumes, considering savings in labor (it is done with a small number of workers), in equipment (does not require the rental or purchase of compaction equipment) and in time (the pouring is done by directly pumping the mixture, from the mixing machines to the excavation). On the other hand, being self-compacting and self-leveling decreases the width of the trenches, reducing excavation and filling volumes; which, in turn, incur money savings. Also, this material guarantees work safety, since people are not required inside the excavation and fill in poorly accessible areas without any problem. Dosages were established for ten flowable fill mixtures with cement contents of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 kg of cement and a range of admixture from 1.75 to 2.00%; The results indicated that decreasing the fine aggregate - coarse aggregate ratio, the compressive strength of the mixtures increases and the slumps of the mixtures decreases, and the compressive strength increases directly proportional to the cement content.

This diploma thesis deals with problems which often occur during implementation of kaizen philosophy into economic practice in Czech environment. Many Czech companies that adopted this philosophy do not reach such good results, compared to companies in Japan. Czech employee's do not accept it in good way. Thus the target of this thesis is to find out possible causes of this unfavourable situation. In theoetical parts, kaizen phiosophy and other related factors such as organizational culture are described. Furthermore, most frequent kaizen practice and its most important effects are described well as a brief history of it in Japan, USA, and Czech. Real implementations of kaizen in three companies in Czech Republic are analyzed in empirical part of this thesis. Most important points of this part are qualitative research (interviews with employees of these three companies) and quantitative research (questionares were filled by employees in one of these firms). The outputs of the thesis are general as well as specific suggestions for these three companies.

The purpose of the thesis is to present the evidence for and develop a best practice protocol for improvements in emotional well-being of active duty military personnel and veterans with TBI. Through the literature review, a checklist was created to help guide registered nurses to improve emotional well-being of veterans with post-TBI emotional instabilities. The checklist includes multiple interventions which have been proven to improve the emotional well-being after TBI, such as Tai Chi and music therapy. In addition, this thesis describes implementation and evaluation methods for this protocol.

Full textAbstract:
Various theories, concepts and methodologies exist for apportioning liabilities in construction delay claims. Yet, there is no much consensus among the practitioners towards them. Often, the implementation of these theories, concepts and methodologies in a project is based on Decision Makers' (DMs) individual judgments. Individual judgments are generally intuitive and subjective. That brings scepticism on the outcome yielded by either party's approaches or methods. This would most possibly result in further escalation of dispute. This research was inspired by the findings of initial surveys and peer discussions which indicated this situation as a major problem area in delay claims resolution, requiring improvements to the contemporary practices. Thus, the principal aim of this research is set out 'to investigate the problems involved in the contemporary practices of apportioning liability in construction delay claims and propose a Framework for Improvements'. This 'Framework of Improvements' is expected to enable consensus and uniformity among the DMs for appropriate application of essential theory, concepts and delay analysis methodology in order to minimise/ reduce the negative impacts of such problematic issues and enhance efficiency and fairness in delay claims resolution process. The research objectives were set out in order to fulfil this aim. Accordingly, the research undertook to investigate the perceptions, approaches and methods adopted by the practitioners in carrying out apportioning liabilities, and the problem issues that may stem from such practices. This inquiry was carried out implementing mixed methods approach which was consistent with the philosophical stand of the research. Thus, both semi-structured interviews (qualitative strand) and in-depth surveys (quantitative strand) were extensively used for the necessary data collection. The analysed findings and the merged results of this inquiry and the findings of a comprehensive literature review enabled developing the intended 'Framework of Improvements'. As the main outcome of the study, this Framework consists of (1) improvements to be adopted through changes to contract documentation and procedures and (2) improvements (through a Model) to the process of selection of a most appropriate method of delay analysis under objective circumstances of a construction project. These components of the Framework have been subject to necessary validation. Thus, if consciously implemented, it has the potential to bring forth substantial corporate benefits to both employers and contractors, by eliminating waste of time and money in unnecessary disputes in delay claims resolution process. The research has also contributed to the domain knowledge by providing a comprehensive data base as to the current practices and established a knowledge base of essential theory, legal position and practice in delay claims resolution; this can be used as a repository by practitioners and potential researchers. At the conclusion, while accomplishing the research objectives and the aim, the study has identified the potential limitations of the research and recommended areas for further research.

Full textAbstract:
Innovation is essential to promote human progress and to improve the humans' quality of life, but it should be done in a social and environmental context and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. To achieve this challenge the environmental innovation guidelines should be taken into account. In this line, it is necessary to analyze the life cycle assessment (LCA) of any product, process or service and compute its environmental impacts.
Despite the rapid evolution of environmental methods and tools and the increase of sustainability studies in recent years, LCA remains an area that still has to face major development challenges. This thesis provides an analysis from a new perspective with the intention to serve as a support in the conceptual and empirical application of the LCA in the Agri-food sector. It consists of a qualitative analysis designed to know the type of relationship between the different actors involved and their information exchange needs. The case study made it possible to compare the differences between the academic and the industrial fields, as well as the differences between Spanish and Brazilian LCA experts. Through expert panels, 40 specialists were interviewed and were asked to made a survey to evaluate experts' relationships using the Social Network Analysis method (SNA). Moreover, the network flow of environmental information in Brazil and Spain was mapped.
A second quantitative study was carried out reviewing 70 scientific publications of LCA in the Agri-food sector according to a checklist based on the definition of 20 control variables. The objective was to evaluate the quantity and quality of the information enclosed in the different works. To do this, the entropy and diversity of information were calculated using the Shannon and the equitability indexes, using the number of inputs considered in each impact category. A threshold of minimum information is proposed, using percentiles 25 and 75 (Tukey values) of the calculated Shannon indexes from the papers sample.
Moreover, a cluster analysis was done using 10 out the 20 control variable to classify LCAs into clusters with similar levels of performance for the LCAs of the same group and different from the LCA belonging to the other groups. Based on the analysis of the centers of resulting group, the strengths and weaknesses of each group were identified.
Then, a roadmap or improvement plan was succinctly defined, pointing out the actions to be taken to improve the performance levels in each group in the short, medium and long term.
Finally, a set of actions to improve and facilitate the implementation of LCA in the Agri-food sector was defined as a kind of good practice manual. In sum, it could be concluded that this present thesis could serve to improve the LCA studies performance levels for industry, and, at the same time, it could serve as a baseline with which to compare academic standards of a more academic works.La innovación es esencial para promover el progreso de la humanidad y la mejora de la calidad de vida, pero debe realizarse respetando un suelo social y un techo ambiental de acuerdo con los principios del desarrollo sostenible. Para intentar conseguirlo surge la innovación ambiental. En esa línea, resulta necesario analizar el ciclo de vida (ACV) de cualquier producto, proceso o servicio y computar sus impactos ambientales. A pesar de la rápida evolución de los métodos y herramientas y del incremento de estudios en los últimos años, el ACV sigue siendo un área que se enfrenta a retos de desarrollo importantes. Esta tesis proporciona un análisis desde una perspectiva nueva con la intención de servir de apoyo en la aplicación conceptual y empírica del ACV en el sector agroalimentario. Consta de un análisis cualitativo destinado a conocer el tipo de relación entre los distintos actores involucrados y sus necesidades de intercambio de información. El caso de aplicación permite comparar las diferencias entre el mundo académico y el industrial, así como las diferencias entre expertos en ACV de España y Brasil. A través de paneles de expertos se entrevistó a 40 especialistas y con un cuestionario se evaluó la red de contactos usando el método de Análisis de Redes Sociales (SNA). Con todo se mapeó el flujo de información ambiental en Brasil y España. En un segundo estudio cuantitativo se realizó una revisión crítica de 70 publicaciones científicas de ACV pertenecientes al sector agroalimentario, evaluando las mejores revistas y congresos de todo el mundo entre 2010 y 2016 a partir de la definición de 20 variables de control. El objetivo era evaluar la cantidad y calidad de la información contenida en los distintos trabajos. Para ello se calculó la entropía y diversidad de la información a través del Índice de Shannon y del cálculo de la heterogeneidad en lo refiere al número de inputs considerados en cada categoría de impacto. Tras los valores obtenidos se proponen unos umbrales de información mínima aconsejable usando como límites el valor de las bisagras de Tukey de la distribución de los 70 índices de Shannon calculados. Por otra parte, a partir de 10 de las 20 variables de control se agruparon los distintos ACV analizados con objeto de clasificarlos en grupos con parecido nivel de desempeño para los ACV de un mismo grupo y distinto al de los ACV pertenecientes al resto de grupos. A partir del análisis del análisis de los centros de cada grupo, se identificó las fortalezas y debilidades de cada grupo, para más tarde definir de forma sucinta un mapa de ruta o plan de mejora apuntando las acciones a realizar para mejorar los niveles de desempeño en el corto, medio y largo plazo de cada grupo. Finalmente, se definió a modo de un manual de buenas prácticas un conjunto de acciones a realizar para mejorar y facilitar la realización de ACV en el sector agroalimentario. Con todo. Se podría concluir que la tesis puede servir para mejorar los niveles de desempeño de la realización futura de estudios de ACV en el sector industrial, al tiempo que podría servir como línea de base con la que comparar los estándares de estudios de carácter más académico.
La innovació és essencial per a promoure el progrés de la humanitat i la millora de la qualitat de vida, però ha de realitzar-se respectant un sòl social i un sostre ambiental d'acord amb els principis del desenrotllament sostenible. Per a intentar aconseguir-ho sorgix la innovació ambiental. En eixa línia, resulta necessari analitzar el cicle de vida (ACV) de qualsevol producte, procés o servici i computar els seus impactes ambientals. A pesar de la ràpida evolució dels mètodes i ferramentes i de l'increment d'estudis en els últims anys, l'ACV continua sent una àrea que s'enfronta a reptes de desenrotllament importants. Esta tesi proporciona una anàlisi des d'una perspectiva nova amb la intenció de servir de suport en l'aplicació conceptual i empírica de l'ACV en el sector agroalimentari. Consta d'una anàlisi qualitativa destinada a conèixer el tipus de relació entre els distints actors involucrats i les seues necessitats d'intercanvi d'informació. El cas d'aplicació permet comparar les diferències entre el món acadèmic i l'industrial, així com les diferències entre experts en ACV d'Espanya i Brasil. A través de panells d'experts es va entrevistar a 40 especialistes i amb un qüestionari es va avaluar la xarxa de contactes usant el mètode d'Anàlisi de Xarxes Socials (SNA). Amb tot es dissenyà el flux d'informació ambiental a Brasil i Espanya. En un segon estudi quantitatiu es va realitzar una revisió crítica de 70 publicacions científiques d'ACV pertanyents al sector agroalimentari, avaluant les millors revistes i congressos de tot el món entre 2010 i 2016 a partir de la definició de 20 variables de control. L'objectiu era avaluar la quantitat i qualitat de la informació continguda en els distints treballs. Per a això es va calcular l'entropia i diversitat de la informació a través de l'Índex de Shannon i del càlcul de l'heterogeneïtat en el que es refereix al nombre d'inputs considerats en cada categoria d'impacte. Després dels valors obtinguts es proposen uns llindars d'informació mínima aconsellable usant com a límits el valor de les frontisses de Tukey de la distribució dels 70 índexs de Shannon calculats. D'altra banda, a partir de 10 de les 20 variables de control es van agrupar els distints ACV analitzats a fi de classificar-los en grups amb paregut nivell d'excel·lència per als ACV d'un mateix grup i diferent del dels ACV pertanyents a la resta de grups. A partir de l'anàlisi de l'anàlisi dels centres de cada grup, es va identificar les fortaleses i debilitats de cada grup, per a més tard definir de forma succinta un mapa de ruta o pla de millora apuntant les accions a realitzar per a millorar els nivells d'exercici en el curt, mitjà i llarg termini de cada grup. Finalment, es va definir a manera d'un manual de bones pràctiques un conjunt d'accions a realitzar per a millorar i facilitar la realització d'ACV en el sector agroalimentari. Amb tot, es podria concloure que la tesi pot servir per a millorar els nivells d'exercici de la realització futura d'estudis d'ACV en el sector industrial, alhora que podria servir com a línia de base amb què comparar els estàndards d'estudis de caràcter més acadèmic.

Full textAbstract:
Este estudio tiene como finalidad reducir la tasa de incumplimiento en la entrega de pedidos; para ello, se propuso la implementación de herramientas Lean como la metodología 5S, la aplicación del TPM y el uso de pruebas de errores (Poka Yoke). Estas herramientas permitirán contrarrestar las causas principales del problema disminuyendo los retrasos y aumentando la productividad. Es importante indicar que, según el Programa IndustryWeek, programa que proporciona información clave, análisis de tendencias como conocimientos operativos, investigación y reconoce cada año a las plantas líderes de fabricación, mencionan que las plantas de clase mundial totalmente logradas informaron una entrega a tiempo del 90% o mejor. Sin embargo, el KPI de los pedidos entregados a tiempo en la empresa metalmecánica es 53.12 %.
La validación de la propuesta desarrollada se llevó a cabo mediante una simulación. Con los resultados obtenidos, se pudo concluir que se logró reducir el tiempo en el sistema en 15%, aumentando así la tasa de entrega a tiempo. También, se mejoró otros aspectos como el tiempo productivo (46.88%), porcentaje de utilización (9.11%) y las unidades defectuosas (13.89%). El problema descrito en esta investigación puede darse en muchas empresas del mismo sector metalmecánico e incluso diferentes, es por ello que este estudio puede servir de ejemplo para dar solución a los problemas de otras industrias e incluso incentivar a lograr mejoras más significativas mejorando las herramientas aplicadas en la presente investigación.This study aims to reduce the rate of non-compliance in order delivery; to do this, it was proposed to implement Lean tools such as the 5S methodology, the application of the TPM and the use of error testing (Poka Yoke). These tools will help counteract the root causes of the problem by reducing delays and increasing productivity. It is important to note that, according to the IndustryWeek Program, a program that provides key information, trend analysis such as operational knowledge, research, and recognizes leading manufacturing plants each year, they mention that fully achieved world-class plants reported a timely delivery of 90% or better. However, the KPI of orders delivered on time in the metalworking company is 53.12%. The validation of the developed proposal was carried out through a simulation. With the results obtained, it was possible to conclude that it was possible to reduce the time in the system by 15%, thus increasing the delivery rate on time. Other aspects were also improved such as productive time (46.88%), percentage of use (9.11%) and defective units (13.89%). The problem described in this research can occur in many companies in the same metalworking sector and even different ones, that is why this study can serve as an example to solve the problems of other companies and even encourage more significant improvements by improving the applied tools in the present investigation.

Full textAbstract:
SKV and Tullverket have several important tools and methods available in each activity to ensure that taxes and fees are paid and charged rightfully. Among other things they use tax or customs surcharges, targeted and general third party injunctions or targeted and general third party audits. The targeted controls, ergo targeted injunctions and audits, are targeted towards specific persons or documents while during the general controls these are not specified. The methods have repeatedly been the subject of discussions and attempts to simplify the tax procedure and increase the Rule of Law for the individual. The government appointed a commission on March 8 of the year 2012 with the assignment to prepare proposals to increase the Rule of Law in the tax procedure. The assignment was therefore to analyze the areas of tax and customs injunctions, reimbursement because of expenses and agents and also third party controls. This study was delimited, partly due to space considerations, to examine the commission's proposals to increase the Rule of Law regarding third party controls as well as to SKV as the investigating authority. Consideration will therefore not be given to Tullverket as the investigating authority. The system concerning third party controls has repeatedly over the years been the subject of criticism and debate. Not least because of that the general third party controls are indistinct due to the fact that the person who is the subject of the control is not aware of the control and that the procedure is considered to contravene the protection of privacy in the RF and the right to private and family life of the ECHR. It has hence been considered that there is a need for change. The commission would thus investigate and make proposals to increase the Rule of Law but given the precondition that third party control, including general controls, would still remain as control methods. Therefore the commission had to consider a proportionality assessment between the protection of individual privacy and SKV:s control effectiveness. In this study focus was on SOU 2013:62 and the consultation bodies’ responses received on account of the proposals. The commission proposed that the decision making on general third party controls will stay with SKV as the decision making authority and that it should be clarified in the legislative text that SKV has to relate to the principle of proportionality when deciding on general third party controls. The commission also proposed that it should be clarified in the legislative text that SKV only may search for documents and information covered by the decision but that surplus information that was discovered spontaneously also may be used. The commission held that there is no need for clarification of the legislative texts regarding that SKV shall take into account the proportionality principle in the choice of method and choice of control object. The commission also held that there is no need to legislate any imposes for SKV towards the subject of control to inform about the control if the information gathered nevertheless is intended to be the basis for decisions on taxation. Furthermore it was proposed an imposition of legislative texts regarding that the controlled, in connection with the information about the control, should be given the opportunity to request documents and information excluded from the basis for decisions on taxation. That is, after the control is carried out and provided that the information will be added basis for decisions on taxation. The majority of the consultation bodies felt that the commission was inadequate, that the proposals did not add anything new on the merits and that a new commission should be appointed with the mission to increase the Rule of Law in the tax procedure. The studies’ concluding parts contain a pro et contra analysis of the proposals on the basis of the consultation bodies’ responses, my own conclusions and general concluding comments. In these parts my own proposals are submitted for improvement to further enhance the Rule of Law in tax procedures. My own proposals are due to that the commission in my opinion may be deemed deficient in several aspects.SKV och Tullverket har flera viktiga metoder att tillgå i respektive verksamhet för att säkerställa att skatter och avgifter lämnas och tas ut rätteligen. Bland annat så kan kontrollmyndigheterna använda skatte- eller tulltillägg, riktade och generella tredjemansförelägganden eller riktade och generella tredjemansrevisioner. Vid riktade kontroller, ergo riktade förelägganden och riktade revisioner, är kontrollerna riktade mot specificerade personer eller handlingar och vid generella kontroller är dessa inte specificerade. Metoderna har upprepade gånger varit föremål för diskussioner och försök att förenkla skatteförfarandet och öka rättssäkerheten för den enskilde. Regeringen tillsatte den 8 mars år 2012 en utredning med uppgiften att framställa förslag för en ökad rättssäkerhet i skatteförfarandet. Uppdraget var att undersöka områdena skatte- och tulltillägg, ersättning för kostnader och ombud samt tredjemanskontroller. Denna studie har bland annat på grund av utrymmesskäl avgränsats till att undersöka utredningens förslag som avser ökad rättssäkerhet vid tredjemanskontroller samt till SKV som kontrollerande myndighet. Hänsyn kommer således inte tas till Tullverket som kontrollerande myndighet. Tredjemanskontrollförfarandet har upprepade gånger genom åren varit föremål för kritik och diskussioner. Inte minst för att generella tredjemanskontroller ansetts olämpliga på grund av att den kontrollerade inte har vetskap om att denna är eller har varit föremål för kontroll samt att förfarandet ansetts strida mot integritetsskyddet i RF och rätten till privat- och familjeliv i EKMR. Det har därav ansetts att behov av förändring föreligger. Utredningen skulle således undersöka och lämna förslag för att öka rättssäkerheten för den enskilde men med hänsyn till att tredjemanskontroller, i dessa inbegripet generella tredjemanskontroller, alltjämt skulle kvarstå som metod i SKV:s kontrollverksamhet. Det fordrades följaktligen av utredningen att genomföra en proportionalitetsavvägning mellan skyddet för den enskildes integritet och SKV:s kontrolleffektivitet. I denna studie har fokus lagts på SOU 2013:62 och de remissyttranden som inkommit med anledning av förslagen. Utredningen föreslog att beslutsordningen vid generella tredjemanskontroller ska stå oförändrad med SKV som beslutsfattande instans och att det ska förtydligas i lagtext att SKV ska förhålla sig till proportionalitetsprincipen vid beslut om generella tredjemanskontroller. Utredningen föreslog även att det ska förtydligas i lagtext att SKV endast får eftersöka handlingar och uppgifter som omfattas av beslutet men att överskottsinformation som anträffats spontant får användas. Vidare angav utredningen att det inte behövs något förtydligande i lagtext avseende att SKV ska beakta proportionalitetsprincipen vid val av metod och val av kontrollobjekt. Utredningen angav även att det inte behöver införas någon underrättelseskyldighet för SKV gentemot den kontrollerade om informationen som inhämtats ändå inte är avsedd att läggas till grund för beslut om beskattning. Vidare föreslogs ett införande i lagtext avseende att den kontrollerade ska ges möjlighet att begära handlingar och uppgifter undantagna från att läggas till grund för beslut om beskattning i samband med en underrättelse, det vill säga efter att kontrollen ägt rum och under förutsättning att informationen kommer läggas till grund för beslut om beskattning. Flertalet remissinstanser ansåg att utredningen var bristfällig, att förslagen inte innebar någonting nytt i sak samt att en ny utredning bör tillsättas med uppdrag att öka rättssäkerheten i skatteförfarandet. I studiens avslutande delar redovisas en pro et contra-analys av förslagen med utgångspunkt i remissyttrandena, egna slutsatser avseende förslagen samt allmänna avslutande kommentarer. I dessa delar lämnas egna förbättringsförslag för att ytterligare öka rättssäkerheten, eftersom utredningen enligt min mening får anses bristfällig i flera avseenden.

In fact, this is one of the many factors for which the concept of safety has been a challenge for many researchers, namely, in their quest to understand the awareness of employees in organizations regarding safety and health at work, as well as their relationship with the occurrence and prevention of claims in them. With this project, it is intended to analyze and evaluate Safety Climate at Amarsul - Valorização e Tratamento de Resíduos, S.A., and elaborate proposals improvement, based on respective diagnosis. In terms of characterizing reality, this work used a quantitative method, through the application of a questionnaire consisting of 11 dimensions of analysis, namely: Administration, Direct Management, Coworkers, Responsibilities, Work Pressure, Personal Protective Equipment, Safety Rules and Procedures, Accidents and Incidents, Training in Safety and Health at Work, Continuous Improvement and Communication for Safety. The data obtained revealed, in general, a safety climate with average scores averaging high. The scores obtained, from the dimensions under analysis, show the following increasing order: 1st Work Pressure, 2nd Continuous Improvement, 3rd Administration, 4th Safety Communication, 5th Coworkers, 6th Personal protective equipment, 7th Accidents and incidents, 8th OSH training, 9th Safety Rules and Procedures, 10th Responsibilities and, finally, 11th Direct Manager. Based on the data obtained and the supporting bibliographic review, proposals for improvement were made, as well as the respective intervention schedule.

Full textAbstract:
The content of this diploma thesis includes description of different methods of improvement in business. It focuses on incremental improvements over time and also on breakthrough improvement - so called radical innovation. On the basis of knowledge gained while studying literature for the theoretical part, I have analyzed in the practical part the states of three selected improvement methods in the company Robert Bosch Ltd. Chosen areas were: the application of the 5S method in the company, the conduct of regular satisfaction surveys and the process of submission and evaluation of improvement. The 3rd mentioned area - the area of improvement proposals, is characterized in detail in the practical part and gradually leads to the application of my own improvement proposal into practice which is considered as the main contribution of this thesis. My own proposal deals with the optimization of warehouse management. It is focused on the external warehouse of Robert Bosch Ltd. in order to supply material to the company's production lines more efficiently. It concerns the rearranging of the storage of key material items and their transfer to more suitable rack positions within the warehouse. The calculations are based on the number of stock removals per quarter for each item. Due to the outputs of the data analysis processed in my own improvement proposal, it was possible to decide in which rack positions it would be appropriate to store individual material items so that their subsequent transfer into production would be as efficient as possible in terms of time and, therefore, in terms of financial costs. The amount of time taken to transfer material items into production was crucial for the results of this thesis because their more efficient placement reduces the handling time so that it is possible to quantify the time and therefore financial savings of the project. The data analysis was focused on material items placed on unsuitable rack positions due to their number of stock removals per quarter. The aim was to suggest which materials would be better to transfer to a more appropriate type of rack positions, with an emphasis on the key items that affect the process of removal into production the most and represent a considerable financial costs.
