För att möta kraven från en allt mer konkurrensutsatt och global marknad bedrivs någon form av förbättrings- eller förändringsarbete i dagens organisationer. En grundläggande förutsättning för att nå framgång i arbetet med verksamhetsutvecklingen är ett engagerat, synligt och tydligt ledarskap. Ledarens viktigaste roll i utvecklingsarbetet är att motivera, coacha och utveckla individer och team. Syftet med den här studien är att hjälpa till att skapa en större förståelse om hur coachning kan användas för verksamhetsutveckling. Detta genom att utföra en forskningsöversikt över olika coachningsmodeller och definiera vad en coachningsmodell är samt analysera hur de kan användas i arbetet med verksamhetsutveckling. Resultatet av studien visade att en coachningsmodell är vanligtvis fasindelad. Det handlar om en förtroendebaserad lärprocess som sker mellan coach och mottagaren av coachningen. En coachningsmodell bygger på en utveckling av människan och/eller processen. Detta sker via öppna, relevanta frågeställningar som ska vara baserade på situation och målsättning. Studien visar att det finns olika användningsområden för coachningsmodellerna. De kan hjälpa till att utveckla ett beteende, utveckla individen, processen eller hela systemet. Det finns även starka kopplingar mellan de studerade coachningsmodellerna och hur verksamhetsutveckling kan bedrivas. Exempelvis tas vikten av samspel mellan coach, ledare, medarbetare och kund upp. Att coacha varandra genom hela kedjan leder till processutveckling som i sin tur gynnar kunden. Anpassa frågorna i coachningssamtalet mot verksamhetens mål och använd coachningen för att arbeta med ständiga förbättringar i små steg, tänk i banor som PDSA-hjulet. / To meet the demands of an increasingly competitive and global market, today’s organizations operates some form of improvement or change management. A basic prerequisite for success in the work with business development is a committed, visible and clear leadership. The leader's most important role in the development process is to motivate, coach and develop individuals and teams.The purpose of this study is to help create a greater understanding of how coaching can be used for business development. This by performing a research on different coaching models and define what a coaching model is and analyze how it can be used in the process of business development. The results of the study showed that a coaching model is usually phased. It is about a trust-based learning process that takes place between the coach and the recipient of coaching. A coaching model is based on the development of the human and/or the process. This is done through open, relevant framing of questions which should be based on the situation and the objectives. The study shows that there are different uses for coaching models. They can help develop a behavior, developing the individual, the process or the entire system. There are also strong links between the studied coaching models and how organizational development may be pursued. For example, the importance of interaction between the coach, leader, employee and customer is mentioned. To coach one another through the whole chain, is leading to process development which in turn benefits the customer. Customizing the questions in the coaching conversation toward the organization’s goals and use coaching to work with continuous improvements in small steps, like PDSA cycles.

O método empregado é o da pesquisa-ação. Para tanto, analisa-se uma empresa, na qual o sistema de gestão da qualidade é estruturado e introduzido. Com isso, pretende-se demonstrar de forma sintética uma outra abordagem de implementação do Controle de Qualidade Total, que pode trazer benefícios para a organização desde as etapas iniciais. Para corroborar com esta idéia, além de demonstrar como o método foi empregado na empresa, três estudos de caso são apresentados detalhadamente. Posteriormente, analisam-se como os projetos de melhoria contribuíram para a institucionalização da qualidade total na organização. Concluindo, este trabalho pretende comprovar a hipótese de que o MASP pode ser utilizado para iniciar o movimento da qualidade e auxiliar na implementação do TQC / Abstract: The main goal of this study is to use the QC Story method of problem solving and analysis as a vehicle for the implementation of a total quality program and evaluate its impacts in a company from the packaging sector. The method that was used employs a research in an industry where the quality management system was structured and introduced. This work intents to briefly demonstrate the advantages that the use of this alternative approach may provide, even in its early phases. To emphasize this idea and also to demonstrate how the method was used in the industry being researched, three detailed case studies are presented. After that, it is analyzed how these improvement projects have influenced the institutionalization of the total quality control concepts in the company. At last, this study intents to verify the hypothesis that the QC Story method can be used to start the quality movement and help the TQC implementation / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

RPA, AI och IPA blir allt mer populära verktyg inom företagande. Detta trots att det till stor del saknas teoretisk förankrad förståelse för vilka förmågor teknologierna besitter och hur de kan understödja företagsledning. Som ett svar på den bristande tillgängligheten av forskning kring ämnet, syftade denna studie till att på ett inkluderande och övergripande plan, samla teknologiernas förmågor och nytta. Varpå dessa kunde kopplas mot verksamhetsstyrning i form av konceptet TQM. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ enfallsstudie, där fallet utgjordes av ett internationellt teknikföretag som arbetar med applikationer kopplat till teknologierna. Den empiri som fallet erbjöd samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer, där företagets personal utgjorde studiens respondenter. Empirin jämfördes sedan med och kompletterades av den tidigare spridda teoretiska forskningen kring RPA, AI och IPA:s nyttjande och nytta. Ur sammankopplingen skapades en modell vilken gav en bred bild av teknologiernas nytta i relation till TQM och MBNQA-modellen som nyttjades för att konkretisera TQM. Resultatet antydde att RPA, AI och IPA kan utgöra viktiga verktyg för att stödja verksamhetsstyrning enligt TQM, och bidrog med en bred teoretisk referensram för teknologiernas förmågor i relation till verksamhetsstyrning. Studien belyste även behovet av mer forskning kring teknologiernas snabbt föränderliga förmågor i relation till verksamhetsstyrning och TQM. / RPA, AI, and IPA are becoming increasingly popular tools in the business sector. Despite their growing prevalence, there is a significant lack of theoretically grounded understanding of the capabilities these technologies possess and how they can support corporate management. In response to this research gap, the aim of this study was to comprehensively and inclusively gather the capabilities and benefits of these technologies. Subsequently, these factors were linked to business management through the concept of TQM. The study was conducted as a qualitative single-case study, with the case comprising an international technology company working with applications related to these technologies. The empirical data were collected through semi-structured interviews, with the company's personnel serving as the study's respondents. This empirical data were then compared with and supplemented by existing scattered theoretical research on the utilization and benefits of RPA, AI, and IPA. From this synthesis, a model was developed that provided a broad view of the technologies' benefits in relation to TQM and the MBNQA model, which was used to concretize TQM. The results suggested that RPA, AI, and IPA can serve as important tools to support business management according to TQM, and contributed a broad theoretical framework for the capabilities of these technologies in relation to business management. The study also highlighted the need for further research on the rapidly evolving capabilities of these technologies in relation to business management and TQM.

The purpose of this thesis is to implement Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) in Nigeria Plastics Manufacturing Company. Manufacturing companies round the world pay huge amount of money for purchasing new equipments to boost their production however nothing or little is done to achieve or obtain full output from the machine for which it is intended to do. Small losses in time or deviations from planned or calculated capability are taken as usual machine performance. But currently as a result of improved capability levels and demand of quality product at lower prices, purchasing latest machine/equipment is not a way out unless it is completely used. Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a method that involve everybody totally, from high management to all workers to implement a complete maintenance program for all machine/equipment during its life. This method ends up in most effectiveness of tools, equipment, virtuously improved workers, tidy up working area, neat and clean working environment. A structure is going to be developed with the potential of evaluating the impact of implementing total productive maintenance within. By evaluating the result or outcome of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), manufacturing companies can create sensible/smart decisions to improve the potency and standard of the machine, equipment and also the product on XYZ Plastics Manufacturing Company in Nigerian.

Syftet med denna magisteruppsats har varit att utforska hur Covid-19 pandemin har påverkat ledarskapet och organisationens riktning.    Covid-19 pandemin har påverkar olika delar av ledarskapet. Resultaten visar tydligt att chefer känner sig överbelastade eftersom de måste hantera många administrativa uppgifter och alternerande möten. På grund av brist på tid och balans mellan arbete och privatliv har förmågan att ha en helhetssyn, tolka och ta in perspektiv utifrån och in och inifrån och ut varit en utmaning för ledarna. Resultatet indikerar även på behovet av tydliga kommunikationskanaler mellan ledarna, de anställda och deras kunder om vilka åtgärder som krävs för att anpassa sig till den nya situationen som pandemin har medfört.   Under pandemin har organisationerna tvingats att vidta snabba åtgärder baserat på föreskrifterna och begränsningarna från Folkhälsomyndigheten och regeringen. Etablerade digitala kanaler har använts men nya digitala kanaler har behövts identifieras för att skapa interaktion och relationer inom organisationen samt med kunderna.   Den snabba omvandlingen till den digitala världen har påverkat organisationens riktning att tänka annorlunda, vara mer flexibel och anpassningsbar till nya oväntade förändringar, såsom pandemin. Organisationerna har använt nyckelindikatorer för att identifiera och få en tydlig bild av hur pandemin har påverkat organisationens riktning internt och externt gentemot sina kunder. Denna nya digitala omvandling har också tvingat kunderna att gå in på nya digitala plattformar och interagera online med organisationerna. Den nya digitala medvetenheten från kunderna har framkallat nya digitala krav och tjänster som i sin tur har resulterat i behov av nya digitala självservice tjänster och en högre och starkare digital kompetens från organisationens kundtjänst.   En bidragande diskussion till organisationerna och samhället är att hänvisa till begreppet lönsamhet som en värdeskapande effekt som är hållbar över tid, kopplad till tre element: ledarskap, organisationens riktning och kundbehov. / The purpose of this thesis has been to explore how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the leadership and the direction of the organization.   The Covid-19 pandemic has affected various parts of the leadership. The results clearly indicate that managers feel overloaded since they have to handle a lot of administrative tasks and alternating meetings. Due to lack of time and balance between work and private life, the ability to have a holistic view, interpret and take in perspectives from outside-in and inside-out has been a challenge for the leaders. The results also indicated the need for clear communication between the leaders and the employees and their customers about what actions are required in order to adapt to the new situation that the pandemic has imposed.   During the pandemic the organizations were forced to take fast action based on the regulations and restrictions from the Public Health Agency and the government. Established digital channels were used but new digital channels had to be identified to create interaction and relations within the organization and with the customers.  The fast transformation to the digital world has affected the direction of the organization to think differently and be more flexible and adaptable to new unexpected changes, such as the pandemic. The organizations have used key indicators to identify and get a clear picture of how the pandemic has affected the direction of the organization internally and externally towards its customers. This new digital transformational shift has also forced the customers to enter new digital platforms and interact online with the organizations. The new digital awareness from the customers has induced new digital requirements and services which in turn have resulted in the need for new digital self-services and a higher and stronger digital competence from the organizations customer service.   A contributing discussion to the organizations and to the society is to refer to the concept of profitability as a value-creating effect sustainable over time, connected by three elements: leadership, direction of the organization and customer need. / <p>2021-06-06</p>
