All production companies strive for efficiency, which means that you want to achieve a certain quality with the least possible use of resources. The construction industry is facing an exciting future where production strives to develop in line with lean production. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate how a construction company work with their material management at a construction site and to study what challenges and opportunities the company come across in the application of just-in-time deliveries. Method: This is a qualitative case study where data were collected via literature, interviews and observations. Observations were made at the construction site on three occasions to collect more data that strengthens the validity of the results. Lean production, lean construction and just-in-time is chosen as the degree project theoretical frame of reference that is compared in relation to the study's empirical data. Findings: In this study, it appears that the construction company experiences certain problems with the side contractor and that the pandemic has played its role in the production flow. The company sees opportunities with just-in-time deliveries to avoid unnecessary material handling, while it also happens that missed deliveries create unnecessary costs and that just-in-time can be risky to use if complications arise with the deliveries. Limitations: The research is limited to a medium-sized a construction company with a turnover of approximately SEK 600 million / year and is limited to material handling and just-in-time deliveries. Interviews were conducted with the site manager and two supervisors. / All produktion strävar efter effektivitet vilket innebär att man vill uppnå en viss kvalitet med minsta möjliga resursanvändning.

En la presente investigación se trabajó escenarios de la productividad laboral de una empresa PYME dedicada a la fabricación de recubrimientos como lacas, resinas, emulsiones y barnices. El problema identificado son los altos tiempos improductivos que generan la baja productividad de este tipo de empresas, en comparación con otros sectores similares, lo cual es importante porque genera costos por tiempo improductivo por ineficiencia de recursos. Se encontró que el inadecuado método de trabajo generaba actividades con mucho tiempo improductivo y de igual forma se determinó que existían altos tiempos de set-up en el proceso de limpieza de máquina. El objetivo de esta investigación es incrementar la productividad de pymes de fabricación de recubrimientos. La variable en estudio es la productividad laboral y las técnicas encontradas en la literatura para llegar a su solución son las herramientas de Lean Manufacturing y planificación estratégica, como VSM, SMED y estandarización, se plantea la propuesta de incremento de la productividad. La propuesta se validó mediante simulación del sistema de producción con los tiempos y actividades filtradas para confirmar que se reducen tiempos improductivos y por ello se incrementa la productividad. Los resultados arrojan que luego de implementar la propuesta de Lean manufacturing y gestión estratégica incrementa la productividad. / In the present investigation, work productivity scenarios of an SME company dedicated to the manufacture of coatings such as lacquers, resins, emulsions and varnishes were worked on. The problem identified is the high downtimes that generate the low productivity of this type of companies, compared to other similar sectors, which is important because it generates costs for downtime due to inefficiency of resources. It was found that the inadequate working method generated activities with a lot of unproductive time and in the same way it was determined that there were high set-up times in the machine cleaning process. The objective of this research is to increase the productivity of SMEs of coatings manufacturing. The variable under study is labor productivity and the techniques found in the literature to reach its solution are the tools of Lean Manufacturing and strategic planning, such as VSM, SMED and standardization, the proposal to increase productivity is proposed. The proposal was validated by simulating the production system with the filtered times and activities to confirm that downtimes are reduced and therefore productivity is increased. The results show that after implementing the proposal of Lean manufacturing and strategic management increases productivity. / Trabajo de investigación

El presente trabajo presenta un modelo que combina herramientas como SLP (Systematic Layout Planning), 5’s, Estandarización de métodos y Mantenimiento Preventivo para la reducción de desperdicios en la manufactura de minerales no metálicos. Este sector de producción de RMI (Rocas y Minerales Industriales) cuenta con un potencial alto de crecimiento. Alrededor de 5 a 20 millones de TM se produjeron en las décadas de los 70, 80 y 90, y se incrementó a entre 25 y 100 millones de TM anuales en el presente milenio en Perú. El problema que se busca atacar es la alta cantidad de material que se desperdicia en el proceso productivo en las pequeñas y medianas empresas de dicho sector. Con la validación realizada a nuestro modelo se obtuvieron resultados de una reducción de desperdicios de material de 135.1 tn/año a 55.6 tn/año. Esto significó una reducción de desperdicios de 58.8%. La implementación de 5´s hasta la etapa de estandarización impactó indirectamente a los demás componentes. El resultado obtenido con el modelo de rediseño de layout fue de 46.1 tn/año a 16.32 tn/año (65%), el rediseño permitió reducir distancias de recorrido con material, lo que genera menos desperdicios en transporte. Además, con el piloto de la definición y estandarización del método de rotura previa de roca se validó una reducción de 35 tn/año a 10.5 tn/año (70%). También, el piloteo de mantenimiento preventivo al ciclón extractor de polvo, permitió menos paradas y validó que los desperdicios se reduzcan de 54 tn/año a 28.8 tn/año (46.7%). / The present paper presents a model that combines tools such as SLP (5), Standardization of methods and Preventive Maintenance for the reduction of waste in the manufacture of non-metallic minerals. This RMI production sector (Industrial Rocks and Minerals) has a high growth potential. Around 5 to 20 million MT was produced in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and it increased between 25 and 100 million MT annually in the present millennium in Peru. The problem that is sought to attack is the high amount of material that is wasted in the production process in small and medium-sized companies in that sector. With the validation carried out on our model, results of a reduction of material waste from 135.1 tons / year to 55.6 tons / year were obtained. This meant a waste reduction of 58.8%. The implementation of 5's until the standardization stage indirectly impacted the other components. The result obtained with the design redesign model was from 46.1 tons / year to 16.32 tons / year (65%), the redesign reduces the travel distances with material, which generates less waste in transport. In addition, a reduction of 35 tons / year to 10.5 tons / year (70%) is validated with the pilot of the definition and standardization of the prior rock breakage method. Also, the preventive maintenance pilot to the cyclone dust extractor, often less stopped and valid than waste is reduced from 54 tons / year to 28.8 tons / year (46.7%). / Trabajo de investigación

Noise is a circumstance of ordinary life and mainly originated by continually growing dynamic and the rapid development of society. In the industrial environment there are noise-intensive parts that influence the condition of present operators negatively. Thus, measures of noise abatement have been investigated intensely by industrial companies as well as federal agencies. As a subdomain of fluid power pneumatics is especially known for characteristic noise emission by the use of air as power transmission. The transient decompression of air from pressure levels up to 8 bar and partly high flow rates nearby sonic speed cause the emergence of direct airborne noise at vent ports of pneumatic components. The following paper outlines the mechanisms that induce the emission of high sound pressure levels. In order to achieve reproducible results a test bench for varying pneumatic standard components is introduced. Based on a selection of those components results are compared to standardized measurement procedures whether fulfilling the standardizations’ requirements. In conclusion, two benefits are achieved. Firstly, standardization is derived enabling neutral comparison of standard pneumatic components’ noise emission. Secondly, the measures can be evaluated to determine the most promising way to redesign pneumatic components of lower noise emissions.

Presented master's thesis deals with comprehensive free trade agreements (CFTA) and deep and comprehensive free trade agreements (DCFTA) concluded or proposed by the European Union. Its objective is to identify necessary conditions for initiation of (D)CFTA negotiation, determine areas covered by (D)CFTAs and contemplate an effect of (D)CFTAs on EU's position. In the first part of master's thesis, theoretical framework needed for research is introduced. The concept of soft power as defined by Joseph Nye is presented. The inductive method is applied to scrutinize comprehensive free trade agreements between the EU and Canada, Colombia, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Tunisia, respectively. The research proved that the EU has never started DCFTA negotiation with an authoritarian regime. However, it is not a single condition for initiation of DCFTA negotiation, and four more conditions are defined. A broad scope of (D)CFTAs beyond tariff-related issues is demonstrated. DCFTA and CFTA differ about their relation to EU acquis. Approximation in selected areas is compulsory under DCFTA. Trough CFTAs, the EU was able to uphold EU and international standards and promote fundamental rights. Consequently, the EU's soft power has been enhanced thanks to (D)CFTAs.

La presente tesis tiene como objetivo elaborar un modelo básico de Gestión por Procesos para que las Mypes textiles de fibra de alpaca que existen en la Ciudad de Puno, en el departamento de Puno del Perú, logren iniciarse en la atención de pedidos de gran tamaño. El presente modelo bosqueja la estandarización del Planeamiento y Control de la Producción. La finalidad es que las diferentes MYPES trabajen bajo el mismo esquema para estandarizar los productos finales mediante un comportamiento asociativo para atender pedidos de gran tamaño. Este trabajo se enfoca en cuatro capítulos, el primer capítulo se centra en la investigación del sector sobre el cual estamos realizando la investigación. El segundo capítulo se muestra los resultados de la investigación que se realizó mediante la bola de nieve. El tercer capítulo se establecen los planes de mejora alineados a un enfoque básico de procesos. Finalmente, en el cuarto capítulo se presentan las validaciones tanto de expertos como de los propios productores de las MYPES. Los resultados obtenidos mediante entrevistas a los 49 productores de las MYPES fueron que el 84% trabaja sin procesos estipulados, simplemente por experiencia. Asimismo, el 79% desconoce de la importancia de cuadros de control para lograr las mejoras a los reprocesos. Adicionalmente, el 90% rechaza pedidos de gran tamaño, ya que no cuentan con la capacidad de producción ni la materia prima que se requieren. Finalmente, solo el 9% realiza seguimiento a sus clientes y proveedores. / The objective of the thesis is to elaborate a basic Process Management model so that the Alpaca fiber textile SMEs that exist in the City of Puno, in the department of Puno of Peru, can begin to take care of large orders.
