Today's industries are constantly evolving and the demands according to quality for products and services produced and performed are becoming more and higher. ISO 9001 is a standard that serves as a tool for organizations who wants to effectively control and manage their quality workforce on business different processes. A background to the introduction of a quality managementsystem towards Skärås svets och mekaniska in Västerås are that more and more customers demand this from a company to enable it to obtain an order of production.Efforts to introduce a quality system such as ISO 9001-2008 all begin with to carry out a situationanalysis of the business. Skärås svets och mekaniska currently has no existing quality management system so therefore there is no current directives regarding who is responsible, for a future certification in the business.By structuring a situation analysis of the business. You get a good overview of the business and how it is conducted today.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka varför företag har valt att använda Extensible Markup Language (XML) vid dataöverföring. I teorin är egenskaper som portabilitet, områdesspecifikt format, informationsbeständighet, struktur, återanvändning och produktivitet viktiga egenskaper för XML (Eriksson, 1999). Vi vill se om det är dessa egenskaper som företagen tittat på när de valt att använda sig av XML. Vår undersökning gjordes i form av en fallstudie vilken omfattade intervjuer hos tre företag som använder sig av XML. I analysfasen använde vi oss av en dataanalysmodell som heter reflexiv dataanalys.

German regional policy has changed from a strategy of redistribution to a regional growth focused policy- strategies, which are often seen as opposites. Both policies, however, still have to relate to the constitutional objective ?to achieve equal living conditions for the country?s citizens.?This paper examines what effects a political change may have had on the interpretation of the German constitutional objective. Its aim is to examine German regional policy and its relationship to justice, using John Rawls? A Theory of Justice.

In April 2007 we contacted Lennart Augustsson at Designpartners AB in Västerås. He came up with the idea to investigate and evaluate their construction of a interaction beam, CSB-beam. CSB is short for Connector Interaction beam. The beam is based on a horizontal C-profile of high-tensile steel and in the bottom of the profile are vertical flat bar welded so called block connectors. These block anchorsare also made of hightensilesteel.

Under utbildningen Medie- och kommunikationsteknik utfördes detta examensarbete på våren 2006 åt STRAX media i Linköping. Eftersom STRAX media kände att det var dags att de marknadsförde sig på Internet tyckte de att det var en utmärkt idé att en examensarbetare skulle göra hemsidan åt dem. Denna hemsida är ett sätt för STRAX media att visa vad de erbjuder samt vilka de är som driver företaget. Hemsidan är uppbyggd av HTML och PHP och den är kopplad mot en SQL-databas. Syftet med rapporten är att ge läsaren en enkel insikt om hur jag skapade hemsidan åt STRAX media genom att ge exempel och bilder.Planeringen som gjordes bra och således kunde hemsidan läggas ut inom den planerade tidsramen.

This thesis has been carried out in cooperation with Burseryds Bruk AB.Burseryds Bruk is a company that manufactures steel strapping. The thesis isabout developing a concept of protection that should be used to protect theoperators from the rotating parts of the machinery lines. The aim of the projectwas to improve work safety for operators working at the machines by producing aconcept for a protective device. The project's first part was based on ergonomic data collection methods tounderstand the operations performed on the machine and the hazard occurringduring the process. The methods used to collect data were, interviews,observations and questionnaires with the operators of the company. This was thenused to make the ergonomic analyzes hierarchical task analysis and link analysis. The data collected from the company's operators was used create 10 conceptswhich were then evaluated.

In this report I have made various comparisons between different client solutions; a standard client solution (PC-server), to use as a comparison and look at various differences in costs against the other client solutions that I have compared, which is Windows Thin PC, Dell Wyse, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and FSData terminal server/thin clients. All these solutions require a form of server to work against, which also the standard solution uses, but the main difference is that most of the data and computing power is on the server instead of the client.Window Thin PC, Dell Wyse, Red Hat EV and FSData all use some kind of thin client as hardware. Some of the main differences is that Windows Thin PC can be installed on almost any hardware. Dell Wyse is a special hardware group from Dell, that uses its own proprietary software, and Red Hat EV which is based on linux, is the cheapest option where the only cost is for support. FSData terminal server/thin client use as the name suggest a terminal server and a form of thin client to connect to it, the solution essentially means that your rent the complete hardware from FSData.The comparisons are made with the view of different scenarios based of the number of clients, where costs and licenses, as well as time spent on installation, upgrades, monitoring and managing are some of the main points raised..

At present, the Swedish pig industry is in transition. Prices have been low, but feed prices have increased. Therefore, many pig producers have stopped their production. Producers that lack an integrated production may contract piglet?s producers, or may use the mediation services that slaughterhouses provide.

Voltage sag indices are a way of quantifying the performance of the power supply, as far as voltage sags are concerned. Indices can be defined for individual events, for individual sites, and for a whole system. A standard method for single-event methods is part of IEC standard 61000-4-30.This thesis emphasizes the importance of voltage sag indices and different methods for calculating three-phase voltage sag characteristics. Three-phase events measured in a medium network voltage over period of one month were analyzed, results examined and statistically evaluated. An algorithm for calculating voltage sag characteristics and indices was created in Matlab.

På uppdrag av Berga Herrfrisör har det i det här examensarbetet skapats en webbplats där salongens kunder ska kunna gå in och boka tid. Kravet från salongen var att sidan ska vara användarvänlig och att det inte ska krävas speciellt mycket datorvana för att kunna genomföra en bokning. För att ta fram detta skapades en prototyp av bokningssystemet som testats på salongens kunder. Efter feedback från kunderna och ändringar skapades sedan bokningssystemet som sedan fick genomgå ett användartest.Den slutsats som sedan drogs av användartestet var att bokningssystemet håller en bra användarvänlighet för salongen. Alla testpersoner lyckades genomföra testet även om en av kunderna gjorde några mindre misstag.

This case study is made on assignment of Södra, region Öst, as a part of a campaign promoting more active management of the oak forests in the region. Hardwood trees of good quality, especially oak, has a high value due to that the sawn material is highly estimated by the market. It is important that the Swedish oak forests are managed in a proper way in order to meet the future demand. Södra has therefore decided to increase the focus on oak in the Kalmar region and they would like to find out if continues cover forestry (CCF) under certain conditions can be an appropriate management model. The motive is to make use of the existing oak forests more efficient, not just considering well managed forests but also the more neglected oak forests, on poorer soils. Thus, the objective for this study is to examine if CCF is appropriate method in the three stand types; broadleaved mixtures oak forest, oak islet, and oak/spruce forest. Existing management models were surveyed in the literature.
