Ineffektiv materialhantering ger en direkt påverkan på företagets kostnader, därför är det viktigt att kartlägga olika processer i verksamheten. Det onödiga aktiviteterna bidrar till att det behöver implementeras ständiga förbättringar. Baserat på teorierna som ligger till grund för studien består av Logistik, Lean, Materialhantering, Lagerlayout och Abc-analys. Målet är hitta förbättringsförslag som är kopplade till slöserier. I början utfördes ett materialflödesschema på godsmottagningen för att undersöka hur processerna ser ut i verksamheten med hjälp av standardsymboler och figurer som används i logistiksammanhang. Fokuset ligger på att utnyttja lagerytor samt vilka slöserier som uppkommer vid hinder. Genomförandet av studien kunde utföras med intervju och observationer som bidrog till ett mer konstruktivt arbete. Det fanns ett standardiserat arbetssätt dock var lagerytan och slöserierna som var problemet. Den studerade området i godsmottagningen hade fyra slöserier som identifierades. Dessa är följande transporter, omarbete, rörelser och lager. ABC-analys utfördes för att ge företaget en god kännedom gällande hantering av material. Med hjälp av data från företaget utformades en ABC-klassificering som hjälper med lagerstyrningen. A-klassficeringen står för 70,42% av det totala artiklarna, B står för 24,47% och C som ligger på 5,11%. Det visade sig att C-artiklarna inte har stor betydelse medan A och B är efterfrågade artiklar som snabbt försvinner ur lagret Studien avslutas med förbättringsförslag kopplat till de två frågeställningarna som möjliggör kostnadsbesparingar ur ett effektivitetsperspektiv. Författarnas slutsats av studien är att det finns goda förutsättningar för företaget att implementera förbättringsförslagen. / Inefficient material handling has a direct impact on the company's costs, so it is important to map different processes in the business. The unnecessary activities contribute to the need to implement continuous improvements. Based on the theories on which the study is based, it consists of Logistics, Lean, Materials Management, Warehouse Layout and ABC analysis. The goal is to find improvement suggestions that are linked to waste. Initially, a material flow chart was performed at the goods reception to investigate what processes look like in operations using standard symbols and figures used in logistics contexts. The focus is on utilizing storage areas and the waste that arises in the event of obstacles. The implementation of the study could be performed with interviews and observations that contributed to a more constructive work. There was a standardized way of working the doll was the bearing surface and the waste that was the problem. The studied area in the goods reception had four wastes that were identified. These are the following transports, rework, movements and warehouses. ABC analysis was performed to give the company a good knowledge of material handling. Using data from the company designed an ABC classification to help with inventory management. The A-classification accounts for 70.42% of the total articles, B accounts for 24.47% and C which stands for 5.11%. It turned out that the C-items are not very important, while A and B are in-demand items that quickly disappear from stock. The study concludes with improvement proposals linked to the two issues that enable cost savings from an efficiency perspective. The authors' conclusion of the study is that there are good conditions for the company to implement the improvement proposals.

This thesis is focused on description, analysis and minimization of downtime periods related to electricity maintenance activities. In theoretical part various kinds of wasting are described, which can happen during the work of electrician. In the plant Ventily the most faulty machines were found out from analysis of records and appropriate solutions were proposed. In addition to this consecutive company profits were evaluated.

Effektivisering av sjukvården har länge varit ett omdebatterat ämne. Lång väntetid, överbelastning och personalbrist är några av problemen som sjukvården har. Ett sätt att förbättra sjukvårdens hantering av störningar är genom att implementera lean i verksamheten. Ortopedmottagningen Mölndal har likt många andra sjukhus störningar som påverkar patienterna och medarbetarna negativt. Under 2019 blev 1054 stycken operationer inplanerade för primära höft- och knäproteser, varav 951 operationer utfördes. Cirka en tredjedel av patienterna utsattes för minst en störning och 103 stycken blev inställda. De störningar som påverkade operationerna berodde bland annat på bristande informationsflöde, hög resursbeläggning och ett ineffektivt IT-system. Detta resulterade till extraarbete, bristande informationsöverföring och väntan. Detta kombinerades även med andra störningar, som resulterande i att operationer blev ombokade eller inställda. För att förbättra processerna har studiens slutsatser kommit fram till att fokus ska ligga på flödeseffektivitet för att uppnå ett dragande system, utforma ett effektivare IT-system och tydliggöra ansvarsroller för ett förbättrat informationsflöde. Andra sjukhus runt om i världen har haft liknande problem. En möjlig lösning har varit att tillämpa lean då lean visat sig vara ett framgångsrikt arbetssätt. / The need to increase the Swedish health care system has been a debated topic over the years. Long que times, overloaded workflow and shortage of staff are some of the well-known issues of today’s health care system. Multiple management methods have been demonstrated in order to increase efficiency in health care. Such a solution has been Lean management. The orthopedic hospital Mölndal has like many other hospitals interferences which ends up disturbing both the patient and the management negatively. During year 2019 occurred 1054 planned operations out of which 951 operations were executed in the process called hip- and knee prothesis. About a third of all operations received at least one form of interferences in the system. The result ended up being a total of 103 planned operations that did either got cancelled or delayed. The key factors to these interferences was insufficient communication flow, overburdening the resources and inefficient IT systems. These problems led to redoing tasks, insufficient information transfers, unnecessary waiting and other types of wastes which ended up effecting patients operations plans. In order to render the processes effective this study has come to conclusions that the hospital needs to focus and prioritize on flow efficiency in order to achieve a pulling system, designing a more efficient IT system and clarifying coworkers responsibilities in order to get a more effective information flow. Many hospitals across the globe have similar problems and one of the possible solutions is lean, which has shown excellent results, when it has been implemented in the correct way.
