As IT service departments in organisations are becoming more complex and customised, the indirect costs are increasing in relation to the total costs. The difficulty of fully estimating and identifying the spread of the cost in the IT service department is increasing. As a result, firms tend to budget the business unit as a total cost rather than as a spread of defined costs. In order to deal with this challenge an ABC calculation will be applied. The Time Driven ABC model will be conducted in OMX´s Servicedesk unit within the IT services.

In this study we have focused on the operational management of the public pre-school in Sweden. We have studied how the governance system is designed, why it is designed this way and what impact it has on the operational management. This has been analyzed from a theory stating that there are two types of organizations: pay-driven and function-driven. Through a case and document study we came to the conclusion that the pre-school is a function-driven organization but is nowadays acting on a market and have adopted characteristics of a pay-driven organization. We connect this change to the phenomenon New Public Management.

En sammanfattning av uppsatsen på maximalt 8000 tecken..

Denna uppsats behandlar utformningen av ett kalkylsystem i ett mindre husbyggnadsföretag. Vårt syfte har varit att undersöka det nuvarande kalkylsystemet på Englundshus AB och föreslå förbättringar. Prissättning är ett viktigt konkurrensmedel och för att kunna göra en bra prissättning behövs bra kalkyler. Små företag har ont om resurser att lägga på ett kalkylsystem men har ändå stort behov av noggranna kalkyler. Vår undersökning baserar sig på intervjuer med fallstudieföretagets VD Jarkko Erikshammar och ekonomiansvarige Johanna Vikström samt att vi följt Jarkko Erikshammar under hans dagliga arbete med kalkylering.

Problem: Problemet för de kommunala verksamheterna är hur de ska få de tilldelade resurserna att räcka till för att tillfredsställa kommuninvånarnas behov. Under senare tid har man infört nya styrverktyg inom den kommunala verksamheten, ett av dessa är ABC-kalkylering. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera varför Uppsala kommun inte fortsatte med ABC-kalkyleringen efter pilotstudien. Vi vill även reda ut om skolverksamheten skulle kunna använda sig av en ABC-kalkylering för att få en mer produktiv resursfördelning. Metod: Vi har valt att arbeta med skolverksamheten inom Uppsala kommun och ABC-kalkylering inom grundskolan.

I den här tekniska rapporten försöker författarna att lyfta fram ett alternativt sätt att kalkyleraprojekt inom näringslivet. Metoden kallas successiv kalkylering eller successivprincipen.Allt för många projekt är komplexa och det är ofta som kalkylerna inte stämmer. Med den härmetoden förenklar man inte projektens komplexitet, utan bryter ner osäkerhetsfaktorerna såatt man därefter ser projektet med neutrala ögon. På så sätt har beställaren möjligheter att taställning till hinder som kan äventyra hela projektet. Därefter kan man välja att gå vidare medprojektet fullt medveten om eventuella osäkerheter eller avstår från att genomföra projektet.Om man går vidare med projektet kan man ta fram handlingsplaner i ett mycket tidigt stadiumoch förebygga kostsamma misstag.Rapporten utgörs av en större litteraturbakgrund.

This thesis has been carried out onbehalf of Lindborg & Sons in Örsundsbroand is a concluding part of the Bachelorof Science program in ConstructionEngineering at Uppsala University. Theaim of the project is to make a plea fora database of good examples of themachine room types using Revit drawingprogram, and work out a correspondingworksheet .At the start of the process it becameapparent that there were somedifficulties in using Revit to creatingmachine room types of the variety whichthe company builds. For modelling ofoblique, curved and irregular lines, Ihad to use my AutoCAD Architecture andthen import them into Revit.The creation of calculus in Excel wastime consuming. On the other hand, it isa one-time work to create the template.The advantage of Excel is that there isno need for a re-calculation at the costof various types of machine hall. Allthat is needed is to replace the variousparameters.

Denna undersökning syftar till att kartlägga utbredningen av aktivitetsbaserade kalkyler i sydsvenska processindustrier. Vidare vill vi, i tre av dessa företag, djupgående beskriva och analysera de kalkylmetoder som dessa företag använder sig av. Uppsatsen är tudelad. Först har en enkätundersökning använts för att kartlägga utbredningen av ABC-användare i det sydsvenska näringslivet. För att få en djupare förståelse för företagens kalkylerande har sedan personliga intervjuer genomförts med tre företag från kartläggningsstudien.

Inspections within the building industry are surrounded by a rigorous set of rules presented in AB 04 and ABT 94. There are several types of inspections but the final inspection has the biggest legal implications and is important in many aspects, since it?s the one that ends the contract time for the contract i.e. when the contract is passed on from contractor to the client. It is also a confirmation on how the contract has been carried out and that the potential guarantee times after the contract will start to apply. The objective of the following report is to find out what different types of inspections there are as well as a legal understanding about what happens before, during and above all after the final inspection.

The National Property Board (SFV) has been appointed by the Swedish government to administer all property of cultural value owned by the Swedes collectively. The commission includes maintaining the soul and character of each individual building, to adapt these buildings to present needs and requirements, and furthermore making them available to the public. The return on equity demanded by the government is based on the CAPM used within the real estate industry. The theoretical assumption that organizations are either function-driven or pay-driven will serve as a starting point, after which SFV will be defined as a function-driven organization with a pay-formed management control system. This paper aims to examine how applying a pay-formed management control system will affect a function-driven organization.

AbstractPurpose ? The purpose of this study is to investigate possible reasons for long lead-time in a customer driven production, and how the lead-time can be reduced. To fulfil the purpose the study has been broken down into two questions.1. Whichfactorsaffectthelead-timeinacustomer-drivenproduction?2.

How can I make art that face people in their everyday lives, which is integrated into their lives, becoming a part of the discussions both in the mundane and in the room of society? Can I do this by working with performative interpretations that are participatory driven? I have explored how artists and participants can create spaces that are both open and confiden- ce-building, and how they at the same time enable us to question established norms. How to engage in dialogues concerning social, political and existential issues like; What is freedom for me - What is freedom to you? What is it that is important? Which topics are never upraised for discussion?The project is about putting thoughts, experiences and bodies (my own, the participants and the viewer?s) in relation to each other and to the location and context they are in. It ?s about creating a broader perspective where everyone?s voice is important and can take place.

This thesis of 15 hp has been implemented at Halmstad University, in collaboration with Saab Dynamics in Linköping. Saab Dynamics is a company operating in the defence industry where competition is tough. This necessitates new ways to increase efficiency in the company, which is the basis for this thesis. Saab Dynamics wants to introduce simulation driven design. Since Saab Dynamics engineers have little experience of simulation, required a user methodology with clear guidelines.
