The aim of this thesis is to examine what factors that influences the management control in a family business operating in a sector in which they are under-represented. We have therefore conducted a case study of a family business in the finance sector, E. Öhman J: or Fondkommission AB (Öhman).

BakgrundAllt fler tillverkande företag ställs inför högre kundanpassning där konkurrensen är hård vad gäller krav på hög kvalité och låga tillverkningskostnader med korta framtagningstider. Det gäller därför att företag prioriterar och gör det rätta avvägningarna mellan resursutnyttjning, kapitalbindning och leveransservice. Med hjälp av en väl fungerande lagerstyrning kan de lägsta möjliga lagernivåerna tas fram för att möta den önskade kundservicepolicyn. Lägre lagernivåer bidrar dessutom till att både kapitalbindningen och lagerhållningskostnaderna minskar. Studien utfördes vid O-fabriken, VCE i Skövde.
