I ett litet företag finns en risk att ledningen fokuserar så mycket på kärnverksamheten att övriga administrativa verksamheter åsidosätts. Exempelvis finns det risk att företaget inte har full kontroll på sina lager.Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera värderingen och styrningen av lagret hos ett litet handelsföretag med butik och i förekommande fall ge förbättringsförslag.Vi har dels studerat lagar och rekommendationer avseende hantering av lager samt litteratur inom området lagerstyrning i handelsföretag. Dessutom har vi intervjuat företrädare för ett typiskt litet handelsföretag.Det undersökta företaget uppfyller gällande lagar och rekommendationer, men inte så mycket mer. Vidare använder sig företaget mestadels av känsla och erfarenhet i sin lagerstyrning. Förtaget använder alltså inte formella analyser och metoder i någon större utsträckning, om ens någon.

In modern society globalisation is a fact within all industries, the textile industry included. Due to improvement in areas such as logistics and communication international trade have developed fast. As changes occur rapidly on the global market and companies must adjust and revise their processes in order to stay competitive.Because of the global price reduction consumers around the world expect low-price products, which mean that the companies have to find new ways to produce in a cost-efficient way. To maximize profit most of the textile production is situated in low-cost countries due to its labour-intensive character. It is crucial for fashion companies to allocate their activities in their value-chain effectively in order to reduce lead-times.

This diploma work has been conducted for the consulting company Ramböll inUppsala, Sweden with the purpose to perform a study with the calculation programFEM Design 9.0 made by Strusoft. The aim has been to find out if it is possible to gainadvantage by utilizing more advanced 3D software for design calculations, instead ofthe traditional methods currently used in construction works.The method of approach has been to model an existing warehouse building with theprogram FEM Design, and then compare the results with those attained with FrameAnalysis and hand calculations. These results are then analyzed. An evaluation is maderegarding to what benefits can be achieved using a more advanced 3D-model.The results of the study show that the differences between the methods are not ofany significance with regard to the design of the steel frame. However in morecomplex materials such as reinforced concrete, the differences become more notable.The conclusions drawn by the authors of this study into FEM Design are that theeducation requirements of the program are higher than for simpler programs, whosepurpose are solving predetermined problems.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how medium-sized construction companies adapt and how they choose to reorganize their operations in relation to the recession. The study has as its theoretical starting point theories about organizational learning, the impact of the economy on construction companies and strategies for dealing with recessions.

The results of the study show that they used several strategies to adapt and reorganize the business in accordance with the recession. Some construction companies had to make cost savings as a result of the recession.

Compared with a few years ago, the cost of concentrates has increased substantially and because of that an increased proportion of pasture is of interest. Pasture is cheap and the farmer does not have to harvest when the cows do it themselves by grazing. This saves both money and time. According to research milk yield decrease with an increasing proportion of pasture in the diet. This is because cows on pasture will have lower dry matter intake than cows with supplements.

Detta examensarbete var ett projekt som utfördes på uppdrag av Redskaparna AB. Syftet med projektet var att vidareutveckla och förbättra ett befintligt prototypredskap avsett för betongblandning. Problemen som uppstod med den befintliga prototypen var bl.a. att kritiska driftstopp inträffade p.g.a. fastkilning inuti skopan och delar på redskapet tog skada eller gick sönder vilket ledde till att redskapet blev obrukbart och reparation måste utföras.

The sun is an endless energy source and the heat it produces can be used to heatup our homes. This technology is relatively old and was introduced in the late70-s. There are two kinds of solar collectors that are most frequently used todayand these are plain solar collectors and vacuum solar collectors. The plain solarcollectors are the once that are used the most but the vacuum solar collectorshave increased more as a percentage the last couple of years.The biggest question asked regarding an investment in solar heating is if theplant is economically profitable. This question has no direct answer because itis dependent on a couple of prerequisites.

Examensarbete i Ekonomistyrning, 30hp, Ekonomihögskolan vid LinnéuniversitetetTitel: Kalkylutveckling i tillverkningsindustrin ? en fallstudie hos HordaGruppen ABUnder 1980-talet uppmärksammades kalkylmodellens roll som ekonomiskt styrverktyg. Denna uppmärksamhet ledde till omfattande studier av hur kalkylmodeller kunde utvecklas för att lättare klara av förändringar i företags inre och yttre förutsättningar. Kalkylmodellers utformning påverkas av ett stort antal faktorer som t.ex. strategi, kontext och användning.

During the last decennium climate issues have become more and more important. Many steps towards an adaption of efficient energy supply systems have been taken all around the world. These steps have been created to ensure the next generation?s energy demand. In EU and Sweden objectives have been set to ensure that the energy consumption decreases by 20% year 2020 and by 50% year 2050 compared with the energy consumption levels of year 1995.

Syftet med studien var att beskriva föräldrars uppfattningar om kommunal fritidsverksamhet för grundsärskolebarn mellan sex och tolv år i en aktuell kommun. Deltagarna i studien bestod av sex föräldrar som i intervjuer tillfrågades om sina uppfattningar om fritidsverksamheten. För att begränsa studien ställdes inga frågor om skolverksamhet och fritid i hemmiljö. Intervjuns frågeformulär baserades på nationella styrdokument för fritidsverksamheters utformning och kommunala mål och riktlinjer. Resultatet visade att föräldrars uppfattningar om fritid hade en annan betydelse för deras barn, därför kallas fritid för livsträning.

This paper deals with testing the method Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) on the copy of the Piraeus-lion in Historic Museum in Stockholm. The purpose is to find out if it is possible to gather more information about the runic inscriptions. RTI is a method that records the surface normal of individual pixels in a digital photograph by analyzing the impact of light coming from different angles of entrance. RTI produces sort of a 3D-image of the object. There will be an overview of earlier interpretations of the runic scripts written on the lion as well as an overview of Varangians in the southeast.

Enligt Lag om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade(LSS 1993:387) ska verksamheterna inom LSS grundas på respekt utifrån den enskilde individens integritet och självbestämmande samt i största möjliga utsträckning ge den funktionshindrade medbestämmande och inflytande över insatser som ges. Vidare är det verksamhetens ansvar att främja jämlikhet, gällande levnadsvillkor och full delaktighet i samhällslivet för att ge den funktionshindrade möjlighet att leva som andra. Trots lagstiftningen påvisar forskningen tydliga brister ute i verksamheten. Vår uppsats syftar till att på en strukturell nivå se hur resonemanget kring olika organisatoriska strategier ser ut för att främja brukarnas inflytande och självbestämmande mellan olika stadsdelar i Malmö samt att undersöka skillnader och likheter mellan dessa stadsdelar. Empowerment är ett betydande begrepp inom LSS men alla stadsdelar i Malmö arbetar på olika sätt för att främja brukarnas möjlighet till självbestämmande och inflytande..

The purpose of this study is to explore how preschool teachers succeed in their mission to conduct work that will enhance children's interest and knowledge in technology. The study was conducted by qualitative semi-structured interviews among eight teachers at seven preschools in the same municipality. The method was chosen because I wanted to get as detailed and full answers as possible. I also wanted to find out their individual perceptions. The result shows that most of the teachers think that they have insufficient knowledge to practically work with technology. At the same time they?re expressing that technology is a broad area that sometimes is a little more complicated than it needs to be.
