1	How can Lean contribute to create effective meetings? : A case study at Ericsson in Borås Au-Yeung, Ginsun, Andersson, Mattias January 2015 (has links) Lean is a philosophy that has been studied extensively in recent years, and it has been successfully implemented in a number of different processes and businesses. This study aims to examine how Lean can contribute to create effective meetings, which is a topic that has received limited attention in today’s research. Firstly, a situation analysis is done in order to identify common meeting problems at Ericsson Borås. Secondly, a comprehensive analysis is conducted concerning whether Lean is applicable on meeting processes or not. This analysis is mainly based on the five principles of Lean Thinking. Thirdly, the study investigates the potential effect of an implementation of Lean, as well as how Lean principles can be applied in order to reduce or eliminate wastes. The result of the analysis formed the base for the development of the action plan. Subsequently, the action plan is implemented on the meeting processes by pilot testing it on three different meetings. This analysis is mainly focusing on whether the meeting problems have been eliminated or not. Based on our research, we have perceived that almost every meeting is unique and all meeting problems we have identified do not occur at all meetings. Majority of the meeting problems were eliminated by applying Lean principles. Moreover, several respondents also expressed that Lean is a good way to give more structure to meetings, and therefore contributes to more effective meetings. However, we have noticed that principles of Lean cannot eliminate all meeting problems at Ericsson. This can be seen as minor criticism when organizations use Lean as the only solution to improve meeting processes.

2	Sammanvävning av AI-teknologi för att effektivisera möten och dokumentation : En Design Science-approach Gunnarsson, Jonathan January 2024 (has links) This study presents an in-depth evaluation of a website integrating OpenAI Whisper and ChatGPT-4 for automatic transcription and extraction of meeting dialogues, using design science as the research strategy. The introduction highlights the need for such a system and its potential application areas. The theoretical background elucidates key concepts and technologies in artificial intelligence. Insights into existing methods and their strengths and weaknesses are gained through a review of previous research and similar systems. The methodology section illuminates how the design science strategy was applied to define requirements, develop, and evaluate the system. The process is described in detail and includes steps such as problem identification, survey for data collection, artifact development, demonstration, and evaluation. The results of the user evaluation highlight both positive and negative aspects of the system. User feedback was used to identify areas for improvement and suggest paths for future development. In conclusion, despite some limitations, the system has the potential to be a useful resource in various application areas, and design science proves to be an effective method for the development and evaluation of such systems. This report has contributed to an increased understanding of the design process behind AI-based systems and their utility in practical applications, where strengths and weaknesses have been identified through the application of design science, leading to suggestions for future development.
