Examining Facilities with Multiple Violations to Assess the Consent Order Process as a Compliance Tool to Protect Environmental Quality and Public Health in the State of Georgia

Austin, Kimberly 30 April 2008 (has links)
Consent orders are issued by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD). Consent orders require facilities to comply with environmental rules and regulations. The effectiveness of the consent order process has recently been questioned. Several facilities were cited with multiple consent orders, suggesting possible implementation weaknesses, i.e., monitoring and enforcement. There is a need to examine trends among facilities issued multiple consent orders and the content of those consent orders. Such an analysis can help determine the efficacy of the process as a tool of compliance and recommendations to improve it. The present assessment covered a span of fourteen years, 1993-2006. The data analysis reflected the strengths and limitations of this enforcement tool as well as the existing resources and powers of the state agencies.

Effektivisering av informationsöverföringen i läkemedelskedjan / How to make the Transference of Information more Efficient : A study of the Supply Chain of Medicine

Hellström, Emelie, Nicolin, Olivia January 2003 (has links)
<p>This report is the documentation of a project in the education Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering. The project was carried out at Alfakonsult AB. The purpose of the project was to map out the transference of information between the different operators in the supply chain of medicine in Sweden and to analyse this in order to reduce lead-time and the total throughputtime. The supply chain of medicine in Sweden consists of producers, distributors, one wholesaler, prescribers and patients. The mapping of the transference of information showed that most operators in the supply chain have done well introducing technical aids to facilitate the transference of information. However, the interface between the wholesaler, prescribers and patients, has not reached the same level. The analysis results in several suggestions making the supply chain more efficient by improving the transference of information by rationalise, automatize, reconfigure and collaborate activities in the order process.</p>

Effektivisering av en orderprocess : En fallstudie på Rottne Industri AB / Efficiency improvement of an order process : A case study at Rottne Industri AB

Karlsson, Christian, Eriksson, Martin January 2012 (has links)
Syftet med examensarbetet var att vi ska kunna förstå hur det är möjligt att effektivisera en orderprocess, genom att veta varför och var störningar uppkommer. Vi utförde studien på Rottne Industri AB för att finna eventuella aktiviteter som påverkar deras orderprocess negativt och därmed utnyttjar onödiga resurser. Utifrån att analysera resultatet och komma med förbättringsförslag för att åtgärda dessa aktiviteter. De aktiviteter som påverkar processen negativt har vi valt att definiera som två typer av störningar, vilka är revisioner av order samt onödigt arbete.   Problemet när revisioner uppkommer är att det startar flertalet aktiviteter inom organisationen som leder till att onödiga resurser förbrukas ineffektivt.   Genom att studera teorier kunde vi komma fram till ett sätt att utföra kartläggningen. Vi gjorde kartläggningen på plats på Rottne Industri AB och hos en återförsäljare för att kunna intervjua personer med insikt i processen. Anledningen med kartläggningen var att identifiera var i processen störningarna fanns. Utöver intervjuer studerade vi även dokument som var kopplade till orderprocessen för att upptäcka eventuella problem.   Genom kartläggningen kunde vi identifiera att båda typerna av störningar fanns i processen på flertalet ställen. Uppkomsten till flertalet orderrevisioner kunde relateras till kontakten mellan återförsäljarna och Rottne Industri AB, där ett bristfälligt säljverktyg kunde identifieras. Men även onödigt arbete där både materiella och mänskliga resurser förbrukades på ett ineffektivt sätt identifierades vid de administrativa avdelningarna på Rottne Industri AB. Förbrukandet av onödiga resurser blev mer allvarliga i samband med att orderrevisioner inkom, vilket innebar att arbete på olika avdelningar behövde återupprepas.   För att komma med förslag till förbättringar på problemen används de avslutande kapitlen av rapporten för att komma fram till och ge rekommendationer om förbättringar till företaget som vi anser vara de mest praktiskt och teoretiskt gynnsamma. / The purpose with this diploma work was to understand how it is possible to make an order process more efficient. The work was done at Rottne Industri AB in order to examine if any activities affect the process negatively and therefore use unnecessary resources. By analyzing this result, suggestions for improvement were developed to correct those activities. Activities that influence the process negatively, we have chosen to define as interference, which are revisions on an order and unnecessary work. The problem when revisions occurs are that several activities within the organization starts and leads to that unnecessary resources are utilized and that unwanted work activities has to be done multiple times. With this as our starting point we were able to do a literature study to work out how a process mapping should be done. The mapping was made on location at Rottne Industri AB factory, but we also contacted a retailer to get some information, by interviewing people that had understanding about the process. The purpose with the mapping was to identify where interferences were located. In addition to the interviews, we also studied documents that were related to the order process to discover any sources for revisions. With the mapping completed, we were able to identify definitions of interferences in several areas. The origins of a number of order revisions were related to the contact between the retailers and Rottne Industri AB, where an insufficient selling aid was identified. Unnecessary work involving both material and human resources were also found at the administrative departments. This use of resources was getting even more serious with an incoming revision, because of the work activities that had to be repeated. In order to develop suggestions of improvements to these problems, the final chapters of this report is used to give recommendations to the company that we thought were practical and theoretical useful.

Orderprocess- Hur svårt kan det vara?

Arvidsson, Erik, Davidsson, Linnéa January 2018 (has links)
Purpose: The study aimed to analyze and visualize the flow of information from the arrival of a complex customer order, until complete technical documentation is submitted to production. To answer the purpose, two questions were formulated. 1. How is order flow from order to production ensured in complex customizations? 2. How can the order flow be visualized to create a united picture in a manufacturing company? Method: To answer the two questions of the study, theory has been collected using literature studies. The theory gathered forms the basis of the study's analysis and has therefore focused on order flow, how these can be designed, how the order process goes on and can be managed, and how an order process can be visualized. Theory obtained in literature studies was summarized in a theoretical framework. The study's empirical data collection consisted of a case study focusing on the ordering process that included document studies, interviews and observation. The empirical data pattern was then compared to the theoretical framework. Based on the pattern comparison, question 1 could be answered and the basis for the visualization discussed in question 2. Findings: The outcome of the study's first question shows how order flow can be ensured from orders to production at manufacturing companies engaged in customized production. The order process and its flow of information can be effectively and safely summarized in nine steps, from the creation of standards to manufacturing production orders. Steps one to three are defined as the initial and most critical phase in which the customer is in focus. Steps four to six concern the internal communication between different departments to process and build a correct order. The final phase includes steps from seven to nine and describes the fulfillment of orders prior to production. The reason for visualizing and creating a united picture of the order flow according to question two is affected by the outcome of question one. The study shows that the order flow can be visualized by establishing a flowchart of the activities in the order flow. The design depends on its context and how the activities in the order process are implemented. Based on this, the principle of creating a visual image is general, but with details that are considered case-specific. Implications: The study contributes theoretically based on a general context about how analysis and visualization of information within the order flow can be handled. The report becomes a reference point for securing the order flow as it is based on previous research linked to the report's areas. The study provides practical support with a basis for ensuring and visualizing the order flow of manufacturing companies for customization. Limitations: The study is a one-case-design study in a specific context where general theory and case unique empirical data have been combined, which affects generalisability. This was compensated by the fact that the company in the study represents manufacturing companies of customized products. Context and order process design affect the visualization and limitations in predicting the outcome. Simplification to ensure order processing rather than solving specific problems in the flow has been of interest. / Syfte: Studien syftade till att analysera och visualisera flödet av information från det att en komplex kundorder anländer, till dess att kompletta tekniska underlag överlämnas till produktion. För att besvara syftet formulerades två frågeställningar. 1. Hur säkerställs orderflödet från order till produktion vid komplexa kundanpassningar? 2. Hur kan orderflödet visualiseras för att skapa en gemensam bild i ett tillverkande företag? Metod: För att besvara studiens två frågeställningar har teori samlats in med hjälp av litteraturstudier. Den teori som samlats in ligger till grund för studiens analys och har därför varit inriktad på orderflöde, hur dessa kan utformas, hur orderprocessen går till och kan hanteras samt hur en orderprocess kan visualiseras. Teori som erhölls vid litteraturstudier sammanfattades i ett teoretiskt ramverk. Studiens empiriska datainsamling bestod av en fallstudie med fokus på orderprocessen som inkluderade dokumentstudier, intervjuer och observation. Den empiriska data mönsterjämfördes sedan mot det teoretiska ramverket. Utifrån mönsterjämförelsen kunde frågeställning 1 besvaras och ligga till grund för visualiseringen som behandlas i frågeställning 2. Resultat: Resultatet av studiens första frågeställning visar hur orderflödet kan säkerställas från order till produktion hos tillverkande företag som bedriver kundanpassad produktion. Orderprocessen och dess informationsflöde kan bedrivas på ett effektivt och säkert sätt sammanfattas i nio steg, från skapande av standarder till upprättande av tillverkningsorder. Steg ett till tre definieras som den inledande och mest kritiska fasen där kunden är i fokus. Steg fyra till sex berör den interna kommunikationen mellan olika avdelningar för att behandla och bygga en korrekt order. Sista fasen inkluderar steg sju till nio och beskriver uppfyllande av order inför produktion. Grunden för att visualisera och skapa en gemensam bild av orderflödet enligt frågeställning två påverkas av resultatet av frågeställning ett. Studien visar på att orderflödet kan visualiseras genom upprättande av ett flödesschema över aktiviteterna i orderflödet. Utformandet är beroende av sin kontext och hur aktiviteterna i orderprocessen genomförs. Utifrån detta är principen för upprättande av en visuell bild generell, men med detaljer som anses fallspecifika. Implikationer: Studien bidrar teoretiskt utifrån ett generellt sammanhang kring hur analys och visualisering av information inom orderflödet kan hanteras. Rapporten blir en referenspunkt för säkerställande av orderflödet då den bygger på tidigare forskning kopplat till rapportens områden. Studien bidrar praktiskt med ett underlag för att säkerställa och visualisera orderflödet hos tillverkande företag vid kundanpassning. Begränsningar: Studien är en enfallsstudie i specifik kontext där allmän teori och fallunik empiri har kombinerats vilket påverkar generaliserbarheten. Detta kompenseras med att företaget i studien representerar tillverkande företag av kundanpassade produkter. Kontext och orderprocessens utformning påverkar visualiseringen och begränsningar i att förutsäga resultatet finns. Förenkling till att säkerställa orderhanteringen snarare än att lösa specifika problem i flödet har varit av intresse.
