Företagen idag står ofta inför ständiga utmaningar och förändringar. För attkunna konkurrera på marknaden gäller det att effektivisera och utveckla sinverksamhet. Att basera en verksamhetsutveckling på processer och ettprocessorienterat synsätt har visat sig vara effektivt. I dagsläget finns det mångaerkända metoder för processmodellering, processanalys och processutveckling.Det är därför viktigt att studera metoder som kan anpassas till ett specifikt fall.Denna studie har baserats på en fallstudie hos Delta Terminal AB, etttredjepartslogistikföretag, som bedriver lagerhållning. Studien syftar till attundersöka hur processer kan utvecklas i ett tredjepartslogistikföretag.

Detta arbete har sin utgångspunkt i ökad återvinning och minskning av sopberg. Ett exempel som vi har använt oss av i vår forskning är ett samarbete mellan Röda Korset och Kriminalvården. Varje år slängs 25 % av de textilier som välgörenhetsorganisationer får in och dessa sopberg skulle man kunna minska genom ökad återvinning. Kriminalvården har registrerat ett varumärke som heter Made in Jail, vilka tillverkar köksrelaterade produkter. Syftet med det här arbetet blev därför att utveckla idéer till hantverksprodukter som slukar mycket spill.Valet av metod blev kvalitativa intervjuer, som utfördes med tre personer med olika kopplingar till arbetet.

Detta arbete undersöker möjligheterna att utveckla ett system som kan övervaka lastning eller automatiskt lasta malmvagnar i LKAB's Kirunavaaragruva. Arbetet bestod till stor del att utveckla en testanläggning där laserscannrar används som givare och ett datorbaserat styrsystem som använder informationen från scannrarna till att styra eller övervaka profilen på vagnarna. Anledning till ett intresse för ett sådant system kommer både från ekonomiskt och ett säkerhetsmässigt perspektiv. I dagsläget fjärrlastas malmvagnar i gruvan manuellt av operatörer som sitter ovan jord. Alla vagnar ska helst vara maximalt fyllda utan något spill.

The purpose of the study was to examine possible aspects concerning the choice to play as good or evil with a focus on the players´ subjective experience. A form was constructed and the material was interpreted according to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The games Mass Effect I and II were used as an example of the choice to play as good or evil since the choice between Renegade (evil) and Paragon (good) is present. The sample consisted of individuals who had played Mass Effect I and/or Mass Effect II and were over 18 years old. The end result concerning who played a Renegade or a Paragon came to be very uneven (15 out of 16 participants played a Paragon) which means that the result mostly relates to possible aspects concerning the choice to play a Paragon.
