This report presents a thesis project conducted by two students at Mälardalens högskola. The project covers 15 points in industrial design and was conducted during April to June 2014. The principal of the thesis works at Plastic Produkter. The assignment was to develop equipment for an effective way to dose, mix silicon, fill a special designed plastic bag and then seal it. The bag is then formed into a breast model.When a customer for various reasons decides to do a breast augmentation or a breast reconstruction, there may be doubt or uncertainty about the result.

With a strong company culture an organisation has relationships with their clients on an organizational level rather than on an individual. This simplifies the ability to change team members in order to enforce creativity and keep clients on a long-term basis. In turn the final product/service improves, which creates long-term relationships. Additionally, relationships on a personal level due to social activities helps Solberg detect early warnings-signs of eventual dissatisfaction from the client?s point of view.

In the current situation there is not much written about assessment of laboratory work, and the majority of the working physics teachers are retiring and there are only a few newly qualified physics teachers. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how physics teachers assess laboratory work within upper secondary schools, with Gy2011 in mind. The new grade system, Gy2011, has a larger focus on the laboratory work then the earlier system Lpf 94. Skolverket has in their man-ual with examples of assessment two different sorts of laboratory experiments. The first assess-ment is regarding the planning of a laboratory work and the other about how able the pupil exe-cutes laboratory work.

När Scanias maskiner som ska testa nya lastbilskomponenter eller hela lastbilar, så kallade testriggar, inte fungerar som de ska så fanns det i dagsläget en uppfattning att problemen i vissa fall dels var återkommande och dels var svåranalyserade. På grund av detta ville Scania Tekniskt Centrum (STC) införa rotorsaksanalyser av när testriggar inte fungerade som de skulle. Denna studie har undersökt vad som i dagsläget behövde förändras och vad som möjliggjorde att rotorsaksanalyser av fallerande hos testriggarna skulle fungera så bra som möjligt.En nulägesanalys gjordes. Resultaten av denna visade på att fyra roller fanns som var involverade i att åtgärda fel hos testriggarna, nämligen de som äger riggarna, de som arbetar med underhåll av riggarna, de som utvecklar riggarna och de som är ansvariga för arbetsmiljön och säkerheten hos riggarna. En process map skapades för att visa hur dessa roller i dagsläget samverkade för att bygga testriggar och åtgärda fel hos dem.Resultaten av nulägesanalysen visade på att fyra övergripande faktorer påverkade huruvida rotorsaksanalyser skulle kunna genomföras.

This thesis work aims to describe the prerequisites for a distributed treatment platform for real-time sharing of rounds performed by paediatric oncologists. The work started during the autumn 2004 and is directly aimed at improving the situation for the thirty or so specialist treating children with cancer.

Det finns idag få och i framtiden kanske ännu färre uppgifter som är av sådan karaktär att endast en person bäst löser dem. Det krävs som regel något slags samarbete, ofta i form av arbete i grupp eller arbetslag. I denna rapport har jag undersökt hur teamarbete uppfattas på arbetsplatsen, samt vilka förväntningar medarbetarna har över teamet och om dessa har uppfyllts. För att ta reda på min frågeställning har använt mig av en kvalitativ metod eftersom jag vill undersöka individers personliga förväntningar och uppfattningar om begreppet team. En fallstudie på tre olika företag har genomförts i form av intervjuer med produktionschef och teammedarbetare på respektive företag. Intervjuerna är semistrukturerade med öppna frågor. Genom min undersökning kom jag fram till att begreppet team uppfattas som något positivt av alla de personer jag intervjuade.
