Many people have disabilities and would like to have all of the amenities typical of daily life. Universal product design is important in designing for the disabled and creating user-friendly products for all people. The goal of this thesis is to develop a universal product method by understanding how user activity closely resembles product function. The research results include a twenty product pair study in which a universal and typical product were compared. An activity diagram and functional model for each product in the product pair were the design tools used for this comparison. User activities were used to cluster product function changes. In addition, design changes such as functional, morphological and parametric were identified between the universal and typical product. The result was an action-function diagram showing the clusters and design changes for all of the twenty product pairs. An interactive GUI universal product design repository detailing the information from the action-function diagrams was created and used for eventual modification of typical products to make them universal. A universal product family was created using a user-centric universal design method developed because of the universal product design repository. Furthermore, user disability ratings from the ICF helped to expand the database and make creation of a universal product family more focused on levels of disability. The useful application of the research will be in developing a universal design method for product designers and engineers. This method will be broken down into a design structure matrix representation of functions from a universal product family of household kitchen appliances. In addition, an embodied concept for a product family consisting of existing accessible dispensers will be used to validate the universal design method developed from the twenty product study. Both case studies will serve as an example of how to extend universal design principles to a wide range of consumer product categories.

The purpose of this final project work is to explore how tests are managed during the development of mechatronic products at a manufacturing company. This study aims to develop an information model and a process model that can be used in a PLM system. The research method used is a case study at Husqvarna Group. The different test departments in the Huskvarna site are studied. For that, two rounds of semistructured interviews and document studies are conducted to collect primary and secondary data. For each round, six interviews are conducted with experienced employees and then, a verification meeting is held. During the qualitative analysis, different keywords are highlighted and displayed in an activity and class diagram to represent the as-is test management process at the case company. Later, it is compared to the literature, and a proposal is made based on the results.

The aim of this work is to analyze and design model completely prepared for the developing team which must be able to build a fully functional CRM modul for company offering computer training. Through the use of UML diagrams it will figure out functions offered by the modul and the way, how these functions are accessible to the user. This work will also suggest some possibilities of work between this modul and the database in the SQL language.

La presente tesis buscó analizar y aplicar herramientas de productividad y mejora en el proceso de ensamblaje de mangueras hidráulicas en la empresa Contix S.A. La propuesta de mejora continua tuvo como objetivos: reducir los tiempos de entrega del producto final del proceso de ensamblaje; analizar, identificar y mejorar las demoras en los tiempos de operación, proponer una adecuada distribución de planta y minimizar las fallas de las máquinas. Además, se utilizó técnicas de ingeniería, como por ejemplo; diagrama de actividades, diagrama de flujo, diagrama de recorrido. También el estudio de tiempo es fundamental para establecer los tiempos necesarios para cada operación. Con estos métodos y herramientas de ingeniería se logró cumplir con el tiempo de entrega de los productos ensamblados y tener una distribución de planta ordenada que permitió una mayor fluidez de los operarios y del producto. Como resultado más importante se obtuvo un aumento en la productividad de 52%, consiguiendo reducir el tiempo de entrega del producto. Por consiguiente, aumentando la satisfacción del cliente. The following thesis seeks to analyze and apply productivity tools, in order to improve the assembly process of hydraulic hoses in the Company Contix S.A. The improvement proposal continue aims to reduce the delivery time of the final product of the assembly process; analyze, identify and improve the delays in the operation times. To propose an appropriate distribution of plant and to minimize the machines’ failures. In addition, engineering techniques will be used, such as; Activity Diagram (UML), Flow Diagram (or Flowchart), Circuit Diagram. It is also crucial the Study of time for determining the time required for each operation. These methods and engineering tools will allow to comply with the assembled products’ delivery time and also have an orderly distribution plant allowing greater fluidity of operators and product. As the most important result, an improved productivity of 52% will be achieved, reducing the delivery time of the product. As a result, the increase of customer satisfaction.

The main goal of this diploma thesis is the proposal to use agile development procedures of Scrum framework with UML modeling language applicable for creating websites of small scale. The emphasis is especially put on creating a practically usable type model of the websites. The theoretical part of the thesis has two main chapters. In the "Agile methodology" chapter are listed principles of agile approach to creating software. The next part of this chapter is focus on agile methodologies (Scrum, XP, ASD, FDD, DSDM, LD and Crystal). In the "UML" chapter is introduced modeling language UML and its principles. The next part of this chapter is focus on UML diagrams used in practical part of this thesis (use case diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram and deployment diagram). The practical part of this thesis focuses on the design type model for creating websites of small scale. The type model is based both on the theoretical part of this work and practical experience of the author. In the first part is introduced scheme of model, where is shown the mutual relationship of individual phases. In the next part of this chapter are discussed the individual phases where is used the principle of agile development framework Scrum and examples of use of the UML diagrams.

Presented thesis deals with design and implementation of an information system for a local translation agency. The main purpose of the information system is to provide functions for effective user/project management. Key part of system is represented by a multi-level processing of terminology queries from external translators. Further features include distribution of documents to users, resource planning, and work evaluation. In order to provide instant 24/7 access, the system has been implemented as a WWW application using PHP script language, MySQL database, and AJAX technology.
