O presente estudo analisou alguns aspectos significativos nos métodos de custeamento dos produtos de empresas que implantaram em seu processo produtivo "Técnicas Gerenciais Japonesas", mais conhecidas como "Sistema de Produção Just-in-Time (JIT)". O trabalho objetivou identificar os mecanismos pelos quais se dá a redução dos custos dos produtos mecânicos discretos das empresas que implantaram o JIT; comparar estes com os de um curtume com processo de produção e custos apurados por método tradicional, bem como, confrontar o tratamento dos custos pelo sistema tradicional e pelo JIT. Ao término da análise, concluiu-se que o alvoroço em torno da necessidade de renovação das técnicas de custeamento de produtos, não constitui a realidade das empresas, ou seja, as empresas estão apurando seus custos com base nos métodos "tradicionais. / This study analyses some critical and significant aspects in the cost appropriation methods utilized by the enterprises which are implementing "Japanese Management Techniques", more generally known as "Just-in-Time Production System", in their shop management. This work aimed at identifying the means by which cost reductions occur in the production of discret mechanical articles in those industries which have implemented JIT techniques; comparing these vis-à-vis the traditional production system and cost accounting means used by an enterprise dedicated to leather processing, in order to determine whether there are or not significant differences among the cost accruing systems and what are their nature. By the end of the analysis we came to the conclusion that there is too much ado for nothing in relation to the need for a renewing in the products accruing techniques since we found no evidence whatsoever that trere is such a preoccupation within the interprises, i.e., they are accruing their costs based on the "traditional" methods.

Developing high quality software is difficult. Traditional software engineering methods emphasizes on structured and linear workflow of activities methods that have been criticized due to their rigid and inflexible nature. Recently, agile software engineering approaches such as Scrum have gained popularity in the software industry. These methods emphasize flexibility, speed, transparency, and teamwork aspects. In this thesis, investigation and comparison of three modern production practices and principles done, these include; Kanban, the 5S workplace organization method and Toyota Production System (TPS). The goal has been to identity features of these production philosophies and analyzed how they might contribute to software engineering processes, particularly to improve Scrum. The study indicates that many principles from these production approaches have been implemented in Scrum. However, the Kanban, 5S and TPS principles of Visibility are just partially implemented in Scrum. Scrum overlooks many aspects of programming that need to be visualized such as code quality aspects (testing) and representations of the actual software structure under development.

This thesis was made possible by the company Verendus system AB, which is the leading developer of dealership management systems in the caravan and camper market. The goal of the thesis was to create a statistics module for a new producer system envisioned by Verendus. The new system is aimed at manufacturers and importers of caravans and campers, with the goal of enabling its users to create more effective production lines. By providing statistical data to mentioned users they will be able to predict market trends and customize their production lines accordingly. Today such software does not exist which leads Verendus to think that its arrival would lead to a success on the market. Before the development and design of the producer system began, a new agile method had to be developed, MAM (Minimum Agile Method). The method has strong influences from already established agile methods such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP) and Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) and was used during the development of the producer system. The development of the basic statistics module resulted in an administration panel where new users and present users can be added or edited. The administrator can also create new connections and permissions between users and companies, which leads to specific information being displayed for each user. The major part of the development resulted in a page for viewing the statistical data currently present in the database of Verendus. With the provided statistics the user can then make qualified decisions and forecasts that have the potential of directly influencing sales. / Arbetet har ägt rum på företaget Verendus System AB, som är ledande affärssystemsutvecklare inom husvagns- och husbilsmarknaden. Målet med examensarbetet var att skapa en grundmodul för att presentera statistik för husvagns- och husbilstillverkare och importörer. Detta för att de ska kunna effektivisera produktionen och spå trender i ett tidigt stadie. En sådan tjänst existerar inte idag, varpå produkten tros ha stor effekt på marknaden. Innan utveckling- och designarbetet av leverantörsstödet började, skapades en agil arbetsmetod, MAM (Minimum Agile Method). Metoden har starka influenser från redan etablerade agila metoder som Scrum, XP och DAD. MAM applicerades sedan på examensarbetets utvecklingsdel. Leverantörsstödets grundmodul resulterade i en administratörspanel, en inställningssida och en statistiksida. Administratörspanelen används för att kontrollera nya användares behörigheter. Inställningssidan ger användaren möjligheten att ändra sina personuppgifter och statistiksidan är till för att användaren ska kunna generera statistik efter ett antal parametrar, fatta kvalificerade beslut och spå kommande trender.

Syftet med den här rapporten är att beskriva utvecklingen av en webbapplikation för konkurrentanalys. Rapporten baseras på fem frågeställningar som berör produktens värde för kunden, gemensamma erfarenheter från projektet, användning av en systemanatomi, integration av separat utvecklade moduler samt anpassning av den agila projektstyrningsmetodiken Scrum. Projektet utfördes av sju studenter under 19 veckors tid med Scrum som projektstyrningsmetodik. Systemet har utvecklats utifrån en modulär modell och består av fem moduler; två API-moduler, en affärslogikmodul, en visualiseringsmodul samt en server. Detta tillvägagångssätt valdes för att underlätta utvecklingen om till exempel delar av mjukvaran behövde bytas ut. Värde för kunden skapades dels genom att utveckla systemet utifrån en modulär modell, men även genom noggrann dokumentation av kod och framställning av en användarmanual till kundens förfogande. De viktigaste gemensamma erfarenheter som togs med från projektet var vikten av öppen kommunikation inom gruppen samt att vara tydlig vid dialog med kund. Användandet av en systemanatomi gav enkelt en översikt över systemet, men eftersom det inte är en lika vedertagen modell som en designskiss i form av UML-diagram kan det försvåra vid verifikation med kund. För att underlätta integration av separat utvecklade moduler följdes en greningsmodell inom versionshantering och utvecklingen utfördes i par för att sprida kunskap. Slutligen applicerades en modifikation av projektstyrningsmetodiken Scrum, med influenser av parprogrammering och Kanban-tavla, på projektet.

This thesis deals with the issue of project management in the development of custom software, particularly PRINCE2 methodology and agile approaches to software development. The work is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical. It describes the basic concepts of project management, project history and characterizes the selected software development methodologies. The classical methods are represented by waterfall and spiral models. In the context of the agile methods are described Scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban and Scrumban. Regarding the standards of project management this thesis describes in detail the methodology PRINCE2 which at the end of the theoretical part will be compared to the standards of PMI and IPMA. The second part is practical and describes an adaptation of PRINCE2 for small projects and helps to decide which tools of PRINCE2 are required for small projects use and which ones can be ignored. In this thesis the process of managing product delivery within the PRINCE2 methodology is replaced by the agile methodology Scrumban that is adapted for a software development within analyzed organization. The thesis focuses on a more detailed description of the methodology Scrumban, established metrics and motivation within the development team.
