This project is implemented as a thesis at the Royal Institute of Technology in the master?s degree program Integrated Product Design and Industrial Design Engineering. The project has involved development and efficiency of a free starter package for expectant parents with useful content consisting of useful products for both before and after childbirth. Areas that have been investigated include packaging development, service design and appropriate content for the package.During the work, theory about packaging design, materials, manufacturing techniques and logistics have been processed to base the further work on. The project process has involved competitor analysis and interviews with store owners and customer surveys, that have been conducted to identify areas for improvement of the current solution.

The idea for the project emerged when Nilorn wanted to get better control over their supplychain and improve operational efficiency. The company also want to reduce their expenses inthe continuous process of improving profitability. By choosing the right option oftransportation and mode of transport there are large potential savings for the company. Thisenables Nilorn to reduce the transportation costs and strengthen the environmentalresponsibilities by reducing their environmental impact.The flow of goods within Nilorn has over the past years increased significantly and most ofthe gods today is transported by air. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the supply chain of thecompany and evaluate the potential economic savings in this area.

The Swedish Textile industry has since the beginning of the 70-ties moved their production to countries with cheap labour further and further away. The production in the Baltic countries and Asia has become reality for many Swedish manufacturing companies. With today?s technology the communication with remote countries has ceased to be a problem. The difficulties have instead turned out to be more focused on transportation of goods and just in time deliveries to Sweden.

A study to optimize insulation thickness for stock-, industrial- and office-buildings for external walls and roof in an economical perspective has been conducted on behalf of DynaMate. DynaMate?s role is to maintain all Scania?s buildings. Analysis has also included other parts of the building envelope, such as windows, exterior doors and industrial doors. In this thesis, three different types of exterior wall constructions has been investigated, these are a sandwich design consisting of sheet metal and a another one consisting of concrete, as well as a wall of concrete with a coating of plasters.

Syfte: Vi har valt att utifrån vår uppsats undersöka hur två företag ? Swedbank och IKEA ? arbetar med att få med kunden som medproducent. Hur de genom relationsmarknadsföring tillfredställer kundernas behov och hur ?kundnöjdheten? uppnås genom kundens delaktighet. Vi har även undersökt hur detta i sin tur påverkar företagets lönsamhet. Metod: Både sekundär- och primärdata har använts i uppsatsen.

Slakthusområdet i södra Stockholm står inför stora förändringar. Sten Nordin, ett borgarråd i Stockholms kommun, har gjort lösa löften till företag som IKEA och IKANO för att låta dem etablera sina varuhus, hotell och liknande i området. I den här uppsatsen undersöks Jane Jacobs teori om stadsplanering och hur den kan appliceras på hur Slakthusområdet kan komma att utformas. Teorin innehåller fyra villkor: området måste ha mer än en primär funktion, det måste vara småskaligt och finkornigt bebyggt, en variation ska finnas i bebyggelsens ålder och utseende, och en tillräckligt hög koncentration av människor måste befinna sig på platsen under dygnets alla timmar. Enligt Jacobs måste alla fyra villkor uppfyllas för att området ska bli fullt funktionellt och levande. Två analyser genomförs i undersökningen av området: en baserad på Kevin Lynchs metod och en baserad på SWOT-analys av Jane Jacobs teori. Baserat på resultatet av analysen och vidare på Jane Jacobs teori tas ett program fram och ett exempel på Slakthusområdets utformning designas. Programmet innehåller fem punkter: Täta och tydliga kvarter, bevarande av delar av befintlig bebyggelse, hus som vetter mot gata, tydligare stråk genom området, fler bostäder, och fler entréer till området. Arbetet avslutas med en diskussion huruvida Jane Jacobs teori är optimal för att basera riktiga projekt på och hur och om det är möjligt att komplimentera teorin med andra metoder och teorier.

Problembeskrivning: Begreppen företagskultur och mångfald sätts inom litteraturen i motsatsförhållande till varandra där det menas att en stark företagskultur tenderar till likriktning inom personalen medan mångfald kännetecknar olikheter hos människor genom exempelvis kön, ålder och etnicitet. Vi ansåg det därmed vara spännande att genom grundad teori som metod undersöka hur begreppen företagskultur och mångfald förhåller sig till varandra. Ikea har en stark uttalad företagskultur samtidigt som de även arbetar med mångfald. Därför ansåg vi skulle vara ett lämpligt företag för oss att undersöka för att besvara vår ställda problematik. Syfte: Syftet med vår undersökning är att genom grundad teori undersöka om en stark företagskultur hämmar eller främjar mångfalden i ett företag.
