AbstractThis master thesis was performed at Scania transmission department in Södertälje, where the manufacturing of gears is done. Today a large amount of manual handling is performed between the machining and the hardening process. Most of the manual handling is done at the heat treatment department. The purpose of this master thesis is to give a suggestion on how to reduce or eliminate the manual handling at the heat treatment department. The possibility to use the same packaging throughout the processes will also be investigated.

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur reflektion över konstnärlig praktik kan formuleras och utvecklas. Uppmärksamheten vänds mot elevens konstnärliga arbetsprocess där det reflekterande förhållningsättet blir en del av arbetsprocessen. Att införa reflektion som obligatorisk i elevernas konstnärliga arbetsprocess betyder att skapa teoretisk medvetenhet om processen och att använda sig av olika färdigheter, metoder och samarbetsförmågor. Utifrån frågeställningen ? Hur kan metoder för reflektion utvecklas i bildundervisningen för att medvetandegöra och få kunskap om den konstnärliga arbetsprocessen?? har en Workshop genomförts på en gymnasieskola i Stockholm.Undersökningen presenterar och prövar olika metoder för reflektion (det reflekterande och associativa skrivandet) och en undervisningsideologi Problem baserat lärande, (PBL) vilket baseras på både individuellt och gruppbaserat arbete.Min empiri består av elevintervjuer, egen dokumentation med observationer av Workshopen, fotografier, samt elevarbeten.

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.

The company Bergteamet, Boliden, Sweden, is installing ventilation shafts of the Garpenberg mine. For such work a platform is needed which you can stand on and work from. The Shaft Reinforcement Team at Bergteamet performs the installation work and is the sponsor of the platform. The project described in this report is performed at the department MEC, Mining Equipment Construction, which has been given the task to design and construct the platform, customized for the current shaft. After this the platform is manufactured and inspected at the Workshop at Bergteamet.The design work was carried out as follows:- After an initial meeting a requirement specification was worked out, describing the problem and previous experiences of platforms and requirements for the design and equipment.- A concept sketch was developed with consideration of surrounding factors.- A constructed 3D model was presented along with the choice of materials.

The industrialization in Sweden has increased the large number of areas that have been contaminated with various types of pollution. One of those sites are the property Höjen 3:24 in Arboga where ?Arboga Mekaniska Verkstad? once been. The property wants to increase the use of the old former foundry building with the adjacent ?plate-Workshop? and believe there are two options for the building: That the building either should be used as a warehouse/concert hall, or rebuilt into a cultural center. An environmental evaluation has shown that the levels of heavy metals are over the Swedish environmental protection agency guidelines of less sensitive land.

Layoffs may have severe consequences for organizations, and not least on the motivation of the remaining staff in the company when trying to keep on performing the given tasks. How can one with the use of rewards and goal setting affect the motivation on the remainder of the staff? This thesis is dealing with the question of how the management of Bilbolaget Nord AB, who were stricken by layoffs, are working to enhance motivation of the remaining staff with the use of rewards and goal setting. This is a qualitative case study where we have focused our attention to the Workshop department at Bilbolaget Nord AB and empirics have been collected by conducting interviews with middle management executives and a questionnaire study with the remaining employees. An in-depth study of theories regarding motivation, goal setting and rewards was made in order to be able to compare and analyze the theories with the case.

Detta examensarbete är utfört på uppdrag av Bombardier Transportation i Västerås och är det avslutande momentet på civilingenjörsprogrammet ? Innovation, produktion och logistik vid Mälardalens högskola i Eskilstuna.I sin fabrik i Västerås tillverkar Bombardier Transportation strömriktare till tåg. Ett problem företaget har i dagsläget är att de saknar visuell styrning av produktionen. Eftersom många människor är involverade i produktionen är det viktigt att produktionsstatusen visualiseras. Detta för att samtliga involverade snabbt ska få en överblick av det aktuella produktionsläget.

Detta examensarbete handlar om byggbranschens syn på samverkansformen partnering Genom att vi har intervjuat aktörer som är verksamma inom olika områden i byggbranschen har vi skapat ett underlag för att kunna belysa åsikterna om samverkansformen partnering ur flera perspektiv. Vi redovisar även hur samverkansformen partnering påverkar ett projekt jämfört med ett projekt som styrs efter traditionella former.Idén om examensarbetet utarbetades med Lars Fredriksson på NCC. För att skapa oss kunskap och en grund att stå på började vi med att bearbeta litteratur inom området för att på så sätt kunna författa en teoretisk referensram. Med stöd av den teoretiska referensramen utformades sedan ett formulär med frågor som vi sedan använt oss av i våra intervjuer. För att få ut maximal effekt av intervjuerna har vi använt vi oss av en diktafon vilket inneburit att ingen information gått förlorad.

The issue about how Scania shall perform HVAC tests in the climatic wind tunnel CD7, which Scania is about to complete by year 2013, has resulted in four test methods for truck HVAC and also a test method structure. The test methods have been chosen to focus on sun, snow and rain simulations. These are adapted and developed according to what should be tested and to what can be tested in CD7, which has been the object. With CD7 different climates can be simulated in a controlled environment for complete truck level, from desert with high sun load to arctic cold and snow.The test methods represents a basis to start from, for designers and test engineers which make the testing more repetitive as well as time eventually can be saved. Before the test methods can be applied they must be verified as they are based on theoretical and empirical assumptions.

Stage Design is design for action and contains décor, side-scenes and properties, as well as costume and grease-paint. The one responsible for this is the Stage Designer, who together with the Director, creates the best conditions for the actors to perform in. The stage, where the play takes place, could be either in a theater, an auditorium, or in another sort of room, at another place, inside or outside, and where the place itself inspires to theatrical performance and expressions. This type of theater is called Site-specific theatre. Two examples of this is the Workshop ?Skogen sjunger? (eng.
