Cloud computing is a new buzzword within the IT-industry, and introduces a whole new way of working with IT. The technique delivers web based services, which results in that the user no longer needs to install an application locally on a computer. Since the application no longer needs to run on a local entity, but in a datacenter located on a service provider, the users no longer need any specific hardware more than a computer with an internet connection. Cloud computing also offers IT-infrastructure and development environments as services, these three service types is better known as cloud services. Through the usage of different types of cloud services, the need for maintenance and hardware is significantly reduced.

The company Pilotfish has developed the system MIVEO which is used by car-sharing to wirelessly monitor, book or otherwise manage a fleet of cars. In a car pool the system has three different types of users with varying degrees of eligibility. These are end users, administrative and service personnel. We have chosen to focus on opportunities to streamline the administrator and service personnel work with a mobile service, as these users of MIVEO often are movable and mobile. From this position we have in the study attempted to answer the following question: How can mobile services used to streamline administrative tasks? This study is about developing a mobile application that will contain the same features as the existing system, but must be mobile suit.

Kostnader för bristande kvalitet kan kontrolleras i företagen med mätningar för att få indikationer på om något behöver åtgärdas eller förbättras för att minska kvalitetsbristkostnaderna och i så fall vad. För att genomföra mätningar av dessa kostnader krävs information om de olika parametrar som orsakar att kvalitetsbristkostnader uppstår. Syftet med denna undersökning var att ta fram en arbetsprocess för att kartlägga information för mätning av interna kvalitetsbristkostnader i ett tillverkande företag. Undersökningen har genomförts som en fallstudie på ett företag med hjälp av dokumentanalyser och intervjuer. Arbetet resulterade i en arbetsprocess som togs fram utifrån den genomförda undersökningen och som är tänkt att underlätta för företag i deras arbete med uppstartning av kvalitetsbristkostnadsmätningar.

In the field of municipal services there are a wide range of aspects a small community must consider, especially considering that the circumstances in which a municipality operate continuously are changing. The changes include, for example, migration, individual lifestyles, the political governance and environment. Especially the latter might have a big impact on a town based on tourism such as Borgholm. We particularly have taken an interest for how this might affect the internal branding and internal brand communication of Borgholm municipality.Through our research we have found that Borgholm municipality in no particular extent is working with living the brand or any similar concepts. Also, we have found that the success of the internal branding of the organization in a great extent depend on the individuals of the different branches of the municipality?s work rather than on a coherent communication structure which reaches the whole organization..

Inom offentlig sektor pågår introduktionen av New Public Management (NPM), vilket innebär att teorier kring ledning och styrning av företag utvecklade för den privata sektorn  börjar användas inom offentliga verksamheter. Under de närmaste åren kommer Skatteverket tillsammans med försäkringskassan och arbetsförmedlingen skapa gemensamma servicekontor på 82 orter i landet. Servicekontoren producerar en samlad service till medborgare och företag. Anställda på dessa kontor kommer vara företrädare för flera myndigheter samtidigt. Service är tänkt att vara livshändelsebaserad  och ska utgå från kundens situation. Skatteverket och andra myndigheter beskriver idag sina kontakter med medborgaren på ett sätt som påminner om privata företags sätt att betrakta sina kunder och kundservice. Utgångspunkten för denna uppsats var därför att teorier kring tjänster och tjänstekvalitet skulle kunna användas för att studera en intern verksamhetsprocess inom Skatteverket.

The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the societysystem in Austria has influenced the library system. The aim is toanalyse in what way these influences have changed during thegrowth and development of the public library system and how it isdisplayed in each separate library branch. The focus of myinvestigation has been the municipality public libraries in Vienna,and mainly the three libraries in the third district of the city. Themethod I have used is literature studies, examining and analysingsource material from the internal archive of the public libraries inVienna. I have also used the qualitative interview method in orderto examine the situation in the selected libraries Rabengasse,Erdbergstraße and Fasangasse.As there is no common library law, there are significantdifferences in the library structure in different parts of Austria andeach municipality decides how they want to prioritize the libraries.Since the public libraries of Vienna are well organized together inBüchereien Wien, the library structure in the separate librarybranches is coordinated.

A case study of the public library in Broby was made to illustrate how the public libraries? activities can appear in the light of marketing theory.

Detta examensarbete är skrivet vid produktionsteknikavdelningen, på uppdrag av Volvo Personvagnar AB i Torslanda, Göteborg. Produktionsteknikavdelningen utför bland annat balansering i slutmonteringen. Slutmonteringen är det sista steget innan en bil är färdig att levereras till kund. Volvo Personvagnar har tagit fram ett verktyg BME (BeräkningsModell Ergonomi) för att kunna bedöma operatörens arbetsmiljö, speciellt den belastningsergonomiska arbetssituationen. Syftet med examensarbetet är att utvärdera hur verktyget BME går att koppla till utfallet i produktivitet och kvalitet i slutmonteringen i fabriken i Torslanda.Resultatet visar att det finns en koppling mellan arbetsmoment som bedöms som belastningstunga och antalet rapporterade fel.

Att uppfylla revisionsklientens förväntningar samtidigt som man driver ett strikt reglerat tjänsteföretag medför utmaningar i revisionsbyråernas praktiska arbete. Revisionsbyråerna har därmed olika dimensioner för begreppet kvalitet. Å ena sidan skall byråerna opartiskt och oberoende granska företaget samt uppfylla de lagstadgade krav och regleringar som krävs av staten och andra organisationer. Å andra sidan skall revisionskundens krav och förväntningar på själva tjänsten uppfyllas. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka två problem förknippade med revisionskvalitet.
