Hvordan påvirkes oljeselskapene i Norge av et biodrivstoffkrav? En casestudie av AS Norske Shell
På bakgrunn av EUs biodrivstoffdirektiv kommer norske myndigheter til å fremme et krav om at en viss andel av oljeselskapenes omsetning kommer fra biodrivstoff. Oljeselskapene står nå fremfor en stor forandring med å måtte tilpasse seg et kommende krav fra norske myndigheter. Et krav innebærer at oljeselskapene må utarbeide strategier som tar hensyn til begrensninger gitt av myndighetene. I lys av kravet må oljeselskapene utforme strategier som muliggjør kortsiktig avkastning fra salg av biodrivstoff. Samtidig må de tenke på hva som kan bli fremtidens drivstoff og skape lønnsomhet på lang sikt.

Lagerstyrning och prognostisering av råmateriallagret
Tillverkning mot kundorder kräver oftast att hålla ett förrådslager med råmaterial. Ökade kundkrav på korta leveranstider kräver att material skall finnas tillgängligt i lager. Detta ger upphov till ökade lager hos ett företag som i sin tur gör att de binder mer kapital och samtidigt leder till en sämre avkastning. För att undvika att hålla för stora förrådslager men samtidigt hålla en god servicenivå krävs en effektiv lagerstyrning.Syftet med detta projekt är att ta reda på hur efterfrågan ser ut hos företaget i dagsläget samt kunna ta fram en lämplig prognosmetod och beräkningsmodell mot en viss takt för lagerstyrningen. Prognosmetoderna skall vara ett underlag för inköp vid beställning av material.
