In Sweden we need more lambs during March to June. I decided to calculate on a spring lamb production, because to many of the Swedish lambs go to slaughter in the autumn. I counted on 1000 ewes which have 2000 lambs each year, 200 of these lambs stays on the farm and replace old ewes. The buildings are 3600 square meters. I have counted on two different sorts of buildings, the first one is a shed, the second one is three polytunnel sheephouses.

Inom måleriet på Volvo Lastvagnar, Umeå finns idag utrustning som hanterar hytterna med oidentifierade systemförluster och varierande kapacitet i grundlacksprocessen. Det är nödvändigt att ha kännedom om vilka begränsningar som finns i processen för att kunna optimera den på ett effektivt sätt. Utrustningen som avses är två hissar och en transportvagn som alla tre är automatiserade och som används för att hantera hytterna från utgång kylzon efter grundlack fram till KOB-bufferten innan täcklack. Målen med uppdraget är att identifiera systemförlusterna, beräkna kapacitet på utrustningen samt ta fram förslag som kan minimera alternativt eliminera systemförlusterna. Vid genomförandet har befintlig produktion i måleriet studerats. Litteraturstudie Lean Production och Volvo Production System har utförts för att underlätta arbetet.Under arbetet genomfördes en tidsstudie som sedan sammanställdes för att användas för att identifiera systemförlusterna och beräkna utrustningens kapacitet.

This essay analyzes the production process in connection with the original play Utopia 2012, which premiered at Backa Theatre, Gothenburg, Sweden on 27 October 2012.The aim of the essay is to seek a deeper understanding of this particular production process. No universal process plan was employed when creating Utopia 2012. Therefore, taking into account artistic, technical and administrative aspects of the work, a chronological process map has also been constructed in connection with this essay, in order to clarify each step of the theatrical working process.The theoretical approach is hermeneutic, and the material is based on interviews with key individuals with different professions and functions within the working process in order to gain multifaceted perspectives and results. The interviews took place at Backa Theatre with the exception of those held by telephone with the project?s two producers, both of whom by that time no longer worked at Backa Theatre.The findings of the essay mostly indicate that, with the significant exception of director Mattias Andersson?s artistic vision, no fixed process map nor explicitly articulated common goals were employed in this particular theatre production.

Lip force has been found to affect the ability to achieve satisfying speech production and swallowing. A normative value for lip force in adults has been measured to 15 Newton (N). Corresponding value for children measured with Lip Force Meter 100 (LF100) does not exist. In the current study lip force was measured in children between the ages of five and ten years. The aim of the study was to obtain normative values for children with typical development in separate age groups.

Examensarbetet utfördes på företagets produktionsanläggning, där det produceras kundspecifika butiks- och restauranginredningar i mindre skala. Företaget har expanderat snabbt och relativt nyligen startat upp sin produktionsanläggning, vilket innebär att det finns goda förutsättningar för en god och mycket gynnsam framtida produktion men företaget är inte riktigt där än. Brister i både kommunikation, projektledning och konstruktion kan ses som några av grundorsakerna till de egentliga stora problemen i och under produktion.Syftet med examensarbetet är att analysera och kartlägga grundorsakerna till detta, samt ta fram förbättringsförslag som kan leda till att uppnå de framtida målen.Några förbättringsförslag har arbetats fram med hjälp av olika Lean verktyg, några exempel på dessa är rutiner och mallar för konstruktion. Dessa förslag har även testats på skarpa projekt och gett goda resultat både under projektets gång men även i efterhand vid utvärdering..

Today?s community requires an increase in food production. Animals are today bred so that they produce more than their ancestors did. Production has been the most important and breeds with the highest production levels have therefore become popular. Many of the old local breeds have become extinct or are about to become extinct because of this trend.

The decrease in the number of dairy farms in Sweden has been ongoing for a longer period of time. But the fact is that this has previously not had any big effects on total amount of milk produced in Sweden. The main reason is that the remaining dairy farms get larger. However, during the past year, there has been a decrease in the total amount of produced milk, because the decrease is faster than the increase within the farms that are left. During the same period of time the supply of milk on the global market also has decreased. In spite of the fact that the global supply have decreased and the fact that the milk price increases, there are dairy farmers in Sweden who chose to exit the market.

This study investigates a farm in Dalarna which includes 16 ha of farmland and 1, 7 ha of pasture. The purpose is to find out if it is possible to start an animal production in Dalarna. The study is set only to compare spring lamb production with nurse cow production. There are two buildings on the farm that can be used for this purpose. One is an old cowshed, and the other is an unused silo for silage with a roof on top. Both of the buildings are compared to every alternative in the calculations.

Telepresence production handlar om att kommunicera med video och audiobaserad teknologi i realtid över distans och att generera en känsla av närvaro fastän man fysiskt är på olika platser. Forskningsområdet är ett tvärvetenskapligt ämnesområde som innehåller datalogi, socialpsykologi, kognitiv psykologi och perception så väl som konst och storytelling. Den här uppsatsen behandlar främst den process som utformning av ett videomedierat möte innebär. Det finns olika variabler som sägs påverkar upplevd närvaro, men då människors upplevelser är subjektiva är det en stor utmaning att söka generella slutsatser. Uppsatsen är avgränsat till att endast behandla yttre faktorer.

AbstractIt is important to choose which spare parts to keep in stock. With the right spareparts in stock the costs for inventory and production loss will decrease. Cavalieri et al. (2008) highlights that the balance between inventory cost and production loss is underestimated.  It affects the company and must be considered before decision on purchase.The problem with spare engines is that they are all more or less critical for the production. That can be a reason for why no previous research targeting engines and classification of with engine should be kept in stock has been found.

This report will point out the income for a scania plant production farm, this has been estimated through a case study. The outcome of this report will later be used to calculate a reasonable leasehold charge. This case study is solitary based upon this particular studied farm, at this very point, and can therefore not be used as a general guide. The reason why this particular scania plant production farm has been selected, is because the author is born and raised at the farm and has the intention to run the farm in the future. The chosen farm for this report is based in the southwest of scania and cover 300 hectare of plant production. The crop rotation consists of autumn wheat, sugar beats, spring wheat, spring barely, winter rape and fallow. The farm owns all machinery required.

Cambodia is located in Southeast Asia with a tropical monsoon climate and distinctive wet and dry seasons. Poverty is a widespread problem in Cambodia and 30 percent of the population were classified as poor in 2009. About 80 percent of the populations live in rural areas where poverty is an even greater problem. In agriculture, rice cultivation is dominating and the crop is cultivated on 85 percent of the arable land. Livestock keeping is also a traditional part of Cambodian agriculture.

This master?s thesis was performed during the fall of 2006 at Cloetta Fazer AB in Ljungsbro. Cloetta Fazer is the market leader in Scandinavia of manufacturing confectionary and chocolates. The purpose of the project has been to identify causes that impact the quantity of waste in production as well as a cost/benefit analysis of the solutions that can reduce the problem of production waste.The work includes four production lines that are individually designed depending on what kind of product that are produced on the line. By using qualitative and quantitative methods such as focus groups, interviews and observations data has been collected.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen och förståelsen inom effektivisering av interna resurser på ett tillverkande företag, för att sedan kunna ge förslag på förbättringar inom verksamheten. Studien utfördes på Smålandsvillan AB som ligger i Vrigstad och tillverkar modulhus i trä.En materialkartläggning låg till grund för arbetet och ett antal slöserier och brister kunde identifie­ras. Genom att analysera det empiriska materialet tillsammans med studiens framtagna teorier kunde en identifiering av företagets slöserier genereras. Dessa slöserier orsakades till stor del av bristande struktur på företaget. Genom observationer på företaget framkom också ett antal brister i arbetsmiljön längs med produkt­ionslinan.

AbstractThis bachelor?s thesis at the Department of Production Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm deals with the subject of automated metrology. The degree of automation of tasks within production has been a growing trend but the measurement of quality has not followed the same trend. The main thesis follows:What incentives are there to automate the measurement of quality in production?What factors are crucial and why are not all metrology automated?The thesis comes along with a number of sub-queries and delimitations.The working method includes both theoretical and empirical studies.
