Full textDen här rapporten är ett examensarbete utfört för Volvo Cars Uddevalla vid Linköpings tekniska högskola. Vår uppgift har varit att hjälpa Volvo Cars Uddevalla med att starta arbetet med energieffektivisering. Det gör vi genom att undersöka vilka möjligheter till energieffektiviseringar som finns för att minska framförallt elanvändningen. Vi har föreslagit ett antal effektiviseringsåtgärder genom att titta på de mest energiintensiva processerna på fabriken och målet för elanvändningen är att minska den med 50 procent.
Effektiviseringsåtgärderna har tagits fram genom att leta systemfel, som i princip alltid finns inom ett företag, och genom att undersöka om icke elspecifika processer kan konverteras till bränslen. Det är framförallt stödprocesserna som undersökts eftersom det oftast är bland dem de största systemfelen finns.
En uppskattning har slutligen utförts för hur stor energianvändningen blir efter genomförda förändringar. En besparingsberäkning har även genomförts med ett nuvarande och framtida elpris. Vi har däremot inte beräknat kostnaden för till exempel nyinvestering eller konvertering till fjärrvärme.
Resultatet är att elenergianvändningen har reducerats med 45 procent och fjärrvärmeförbrukningen med 43 procent. Målet uppnåddes som synes ej, men studeras också processventilationen och processbelysningen finns goda möjligheter att reducera elförbrukningen med 50 procent.

Full textDemands on businesses are constantly increasing and the competition in the market-place is becoming ever tougher. To gain the long-term confidence of customers, not only the best businesses, but also the best supply chains are required.
Volvo Cars is experiencing a changing competitive situation and their retailers are having trouble stocking the right spare parts. Shorter product life cycles and the growth of Volvo’s product program result in an increase in the number of spare parts to be stocked. In order to adapt to market trends and meet customer demands, Volvo has developed the LDC model, establishing a number of regional warehouses in strategic locations in Sweden, de-signed to supply spare parts to the regions’ retailers through so-called Vendor-Managed In-ventory (VMI).
The purpose of the study is to examine Volvo personbilar Sverige’s (VPS) motivation for a modified customer-service strategy through LDC. Furthermore, we aim to survey the LDC model and its function, and to identify the pros and cons of VMI and different inventory strategies. Next we will examine how retailers are affected by a transition to VMI and re-gional distribution centers (the need to adapt the organizations and working methods). Fi-nally we will examine how the alliance with VPS for the retailers choosing to join LDC is transformed, and the potential for improvement for the LDC model in action and in the implementation phase.
To attain our purposes, we have chosen conduct interviews with select retailers and key persons at VPS and Volvo Cars.
Our conclusions show that VPS has a well-developed strategy behind the LDC model and that VPS’ motive is to enhance customer service and the total performance of the supply chain. The retailers understand the need for change during the introduction of a new logis-tics system. However, our study shows that the biggest problem for the retailers when in-troducing the LDC model is getting employees to change their working methods and rou-tines. An unexpected conclusion of the study was that the alliance and transparence had not changed to the extent we had expected after the introduction of LDC. The most im-portant improvement suggested by the study is that VPS should work to integrate all func-tions and finished products for the after-sales market in the LDC model, allowing them to offer retailers a complete solution.

Full textKrockkudde är en s.k. passiv säkerhetsteknik som krävs att fungera felfritt. Framsteg inom Computer Aided Engineering har tillåtit biltillverkare att förutsäga material och systembeteende i samband med krock. Den plötsliga karaktären av krock, tillsammans med höga säkerhetskrav, gör detta till en känslig uppgift. Denna avhandling fokuserar på passagerarsidans krockkudde och instrumentbrädans (IP) respons under uppblåsning. Olika metoder för modellering av krockkuddar har studerats och presenteras i detta dokument. Arbetet är en del av en större skala försök att modellera en generisk-släde som är fysiskt representativ av en riktig bil; där olika komponent-tester skall utföras för att minska kostnader. När olika modulers beteende verifieras läggs de till släden. Denna verifiering sker genom finita element (FE) simuleringar så väl som fysiska tester. FE mjukvara är idag tillräckligt avancerad för att identifiera samt visualisera spänningskoncentrationer som uppstår i en konstruktion vid krock. LS-DYNA används i detta arbete för explicita FE simuleringar av en Volvo XC90 IP, lastad med olika krockkudde-modeller. Modell verifiering har uppnåtts genom försöksplanering (DOE); med tester utförda för att fånga rörelser av IP så väl som krockkudde-behållaren. Dessa rörelser är sedan uppdelade i olika faser för enklare genomförande i släde miljön. Förenklingar och antaganden görs både till FE modeller och fysiska testmiljön. Effekter av dessa har kvantifierats och relevant teoretisk bakgrund har inkluderats. Dokumentet innehåller även diskussion kring val av mätutrustning samt förbättringsförslag för fortsatt arbete. DYNAmore rekommendationer gällande kostnadseffektiva beräkningar och verifiering av simulerings-resultat har följts. Under arbetet visade sig att FE modellerna kan återskapa händelsen med hög noggrannhet; dessa trotts svårigheter i modellering av plast material. Möjligtvis kan man, genom mindre modifieringar, relatera slutsatserna i detta arbete till olika IP modeller i företagets produktkatalog vilket förmodligen leder till ytterligare kostnadsbesparingar. Denna avhandling ger den information som behövs för genomföranden i den generiska miljön.
