Tidseffektivisering av materialleveranser på byggprojekt med radiofrekvensidentifikation, RFID / Time efficiency of material deliveries on construction sites with radio frequency identification, RFID

Pettersson, Jenny, Wiberg, Sara January 2015 (has links)
Studien undersöker möjligheten för tidseffektivisering av materialleveranser med hjälp av RFID, radiofrekvensidentifikation. RFID är en trådlös teknik som används för att identifiera föremål. För att ta reda på vilka problem som uppkommer på dagens byggarbetsplatser genomfördes intervjuer på fyra olika projekt där Skanska Sverige AB är entreprenör. Genom sammanställning av intervjuerna gjordes en kartläggning av materialflöden och materialhantering på samtliga projekt. Dessa problem diskuterades därefter med en sakkunnig inom RFID och resultatet visar förslag på hur RFID kan användas för att uppnå en effektivare materialhantering. Huvudförslaget som analysen redovisar är tidseffektivisering av mottagandekontroller vid materialleveranser. Genom att använda RFID finns möjlighet att automatisera mottagningskontroller. Företaget kan redan vid avlastning upptäcka om material saknas och på så sätt tidseffektivisera byggprojekt. Dock är denna lösning svår att genomföra då mycket behöver förändras i materialflödesprocessen innan RFID införskaffas.

Brownfields revitalization and affordable housing : an evaluation of inclusionary models of brownfield redevelopment in Oakland, California

Violet, Carla Marie 25 November 2013 (has links)
Brownfield redevelopment is called upon to remedy damaged ecological, economic, and social conditions due to contamination from prior land use(s). It can be utilized as a means for revitalizing low-income neighborhoods and communities of color that have suffered from years of economic disinvestment and a polluted environment. Critics of brownfield redevelopment in low-income neighborhoods argue that this form of revitalization can backfire when property values and rental prices rise and existing residents are pushed out. The City of Oakland has demonstrated a form of inclusionary brownfield redevelopment that incorporates housing that is affordable to existing residents in the area and thus avoiding the form of exclusionary housing witnessed in other cases of brownfield redevelopment in central cities. This report builds on the hypothesis that inclusionary brownfield redevelopments in Oakland can serve as a model approach for other cities in preventing displacement of lower income, residents of color through gentrification. / text

The Duality of Settings: How the Acoustics of Different Audition Environments Necessitate a Two-Fold Preparation of Audition Excerpts

van Duuren, Alexander January 2014 (has links)
It is widely known that intonation in live professional trombone auditions is one of the most critical factors for which execution is paramount. However, the musician who practices dutifully and precisely with a chromatic tuner, even to the point of technical mastery, will not be prepared sufficiently. He or she will find that in certain environments where heavy reverberation is present, the harmonies inadvertently created are not in tune, even when equal-tempered tuning is executed perfectly, due to the harmonic interactions that those reverberations create. Therefore, it is important that trombonists know how to play auditions excerpts with just intonation, a system that accounts for harmony to deliver results that are truly in tune, for use in the solo round of an audition in such an acoustically "wet" space. This document demonstrates the need for a solution in this regard, the factors involved in a practical application of these concepts in varying scenarios, and presents analyses in just intonation of ten of the most commonly requested excerpts. In addition, guidance and resources are provided for application beyond the excerpts that have been included. It is intended that the trombonist who reads this document will have a better understanding of the basics of just intonation as they apply to solo auditions, so that the quality of his or her audition is improved by leaving at least one less element, intonation, up to chance.

Just-In-Time-aspekter: Scania

Pihl, Joakim, Stenman, Joakim January 2008 (has links)
Denna uppsats har för avsikt att utreda begreppet Just-In-Time (JIT) och dess komponenter för att sedan försöka finna dessa i den svenska lastbilstillverkaren Scanias produktionssystem. Litteratur har bidragit med en definition av JIT som sedan har jämförts med hur Scania arbetar inom produktionen. Empiri har erhållits genom intervjuer med berörd personal samt observationer på plats i Oskarshamn och i Södertälje. För japanerna är inte Just-In-Time-tänket en ny företeelse utan det är något de har arbetat efter en längre tid. Denna uppsats har valt att utgå från Jeffrey K. Likers (2004) definition i The Toyota Way. Liker delar upp filosofin i fyra stycken sektioner. Uppsatsen fokuserar på två av dessa som behandlar arbetsprocessen och ständiga förbättringar. Scanias produktionssystem bygger till stor del på Toyotas. Denna uppsats kommer att påvisa likheter och skillnader mellan teorins JIT och Scanias produktionssystem (SPS).

Logistik i byggbranschen : För förbättrad arbetsmiljö och effektivitet

Holm, Mathias, Engström, Johan January 2013 (has links)
Logistics and supply chain management in the construction sector is an area with great potential for improvements. Today, a lot of the workers time is spent on non-value adding activities. Research has shown that waste is a large proportion of the total production cost in building projects today. The purpose of this report is to analyze problems concerning logistics in the construction sector. Two of Skanska’s construction projects in Uppsala have been analyzed to identify problems. The goal of the thesis is to suggest solutions regarding logistics that will improve the work environment and efficiency. The result shows that companies would benefit from using smart logistic services like just in time deliveries and third party logistics. Services like this should be used even if the circumstances of the project don’t require it, as they are conducive to a better working environment and heightened effectivity. Recommendations include having well defined routines and selecting a person responsible for receiving deliveries. Communication and cooperation with other parties in the supply chain is also important. Planning and any subsequent follow-ups have to be carried out effectively and efficiently. / Logistik inom byggbranschen är ett område där det finns stora möjlig- heter för förbättringar och effektiviseringar. En stor andel av yrkesarbe- tarnas arbetstid går idag åt till icke värdeskapande aktiviteter. Under- sökningar har visat att endast 50 % av arbetstiden används till effektivt arbete. (Byggchefen, 2006) Det tillsammans med andra former av slöseri leder till stora kostnader. Slöseriet i byggprojekt uppskattas vara så stort som 30-35 % av projektetens produktionskostnad. (Josephson & Saukkoriipi, 2005) Syftet med examensarbetet är att genom intervjuer, enkäter och obser- vationer undersöka logistikproblem inom byggbranschen. Två av Skanskas byggprojekt i Uppsala undersöks i denna rapport för att iden- tifiera problem. Målet med examensarbetet är att ta fram lösningsför- slag som förbättrar arbetsmiljö och effektivitet genom förbättrade lös- ningar kring logistik. Rapporten visar att företag inom byggbranschen bör satsa på utomstå- ende tjänster med smarta logistiklösningar för att förbättra arbetsmiljö och effektivitet. Lösningar som kan användas är behovsstyrda leveran- ser och tredjepartslogistik med tjänster som sampackning, mellanlag- ring och inbärningstjänster. Tjänsterna kan vara bra att använda även då omständigheterna runt projektet ej kräver det eftersom det ger bättre arbetsmiljö och effektivitet. Rekommendationer ges till att ha tydliga rutiner och utse en ansvarig person för mottagning av material. Samarbete och kommunikation med övriga aktörer i försörjningskedjan är viktig. Även planering och upp- följning av denna är nödvändig för att logistiken ska kunna fungera på ett effektivt sätt.

Just war, peace and human rights under Islamic and international law

Zawātī, Ḥilmī. January 1997 (has links)
The present thesis attempts a critical examination of the theory of war under Islamic and public international law, in an effort to demonstrate that jihad is a just, defensive, and exceptional form of warfare, geared to the maintenance of peace, and the protection of human rights for all people, whether those rights be exercised alone or in association with others, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religious belief. Through an examination of the norms of Islamic and public international law on armed conflict, this thesis argues that Islamic law, which governs the doctrine of jihad, is realistic and practical. Further, it made a great contribution to international humanitarian law more than a millennium before the codification of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, and eight centuries before the appearance of Hugo Grotius treatise "De jure belli ac pacis libri tres" in 1625. / Furthermore, this comparative study reveals that the word jihad might be one of the most misunderstood terms in the history of Islamic legal discourse. This analysis also claims that the division of the world into dar al-Islam (territory of Islam) and dar al-harb (territory of war), which is not predicated on a state of mutual hostility, was dictated by particular events, and was not imposed by scripture. Moreover, this discussion provides that Islamic humanitarian law regulates conduct during a jihad on the basis of certain humane principles, compatible with those upon which modern international conventions are based. Finally, this thesis concludes that there is a unique relationship between jihad and the notion of just war, a matter which qualifies it as the bellum justum of Islam.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO ENHANCE PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAN MANUFACTURING IN INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS

SWAMINATHAN, MOHAN 01 January 2004 (has links)
Traditionally manufacturing job shops either have a process layout or a product layout. The advantages of one type of layout tend to be a disadvantage for the other. Hybrid cellular constructs represents a novel fusion of process and product layouts. In this thesis, hybrid cellular constructs specifically Hybrid Flow Shops and Reoriented andamp; Reshaped Cells are clearly described in terms of their structure, key features, and modes of operation. An engineering procedure is illustrated by cases and particular manufacturing circumstances where each concept would be most useful are identified. This thesis then defines the lean practices that are compatible with the structure in question and identifies what practices are incompatible. It suggests how to modify lean practices to fit and at least obtain some benefits for the incompatible ones. Finally, a procedure for design of logistics management systems for assembly cells and lines is presented.
