St. Jude Medical Inc is one of the worlds leading companies in the medical technology area with cardiovascular devices as its specialty. Manufacturing implantable medical devices such as Pace Maker Electrodes requires complex design, safe processes and well trained operators. User friendly manufacturing operations are a necessity. Lately there’s been an increase of the manufacturing volume which also increased the number of operators. More operators need to be trained and cross-trained. User friendly manufacturing operations will lead to a more effective training process. The goal of this thesis is to improve manufacturing quality while maintaining or increasing productivity. MOs should be written with a simple and straight language. MOs should include photo images to strengthen the structures in MO and make it easier for operators to organize. The conclusion of this thesis is divided in two parts. The first part is to implement a new way for process engineers to create manufacturing operations. This was done in form of a checklist and an introduction manual called “Photoshop Handbook”. The second part is a tested and verified prototype of what user friendly instructions could look like.

I uppsatsen undersöktes i vilken omfattning radiostationer på webben presenterar information om musiken som spelas, vilken information som finns samt vilken relevans dess beståndsdelar har för användare. För att uppnå syftet utfördes först en kvantitativ undersökning av webbradiostationer. Resultatet visade att musikrelaterad metadata visserligen presenteras i många skepnader, men att få stationer har anammat majoriteten av denna funktionalitet. Resultatet av undersökningen i kombination med litteraturstudier resulterade i en kravspecifikation som applicerades på en prototyp. Prototypens beståndsdelar i mån av musikrelaterad metadata utvärderades slutligen i användartest och kvalitativa intervjuer. Relevant information för deltagarna inkluderade låttitel, artist- eller bandnamn, lyrik, biografi, skivomslag och musikvideo. Mindre relevant var skivbolag och tourinformation. / The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the extent of musical information presented on web radio stations as well as its avaliability and relevance to the user. Initially, a quantitative analysis of web radio stations was made. The result showed that although music related metadata is presented in different forms, few stations have adopted the majority of this functionality. The result of the analysis in combination with litterature studies resulted in a specification of requirements that was applied to a prototype. Its functionality in terms of music related metadata was evaluated in user tests and interviews. Information relevant to the participants included track and artist names, lyrics, biographies, album covers and music videos. Labels and tour information was deemed less relevant.

Smart Clothes refers to clothes that have been embedded with computer devices. Items of the category can be used to inform an individual about his health. The technology can likewise be used to track an individuals surroundings. There are many possible uses for Smart Clothes. This thesis is based on the idea of creating a Smart Clothes item that can create weather forecasts independently. In order to create such system unique problems have to be solved. One major problem to overcome is realizing what a mobile application a mobile application has to do in a Smart Clothes system that predicts weather to the user. This thesis tries to answer the problem by examining how an existing weather forecast model can be implemented into an application to later display a forecast to a user. The study is built on an inductive approach and has a purpose to explore the necessary steps in developing a mobile application that predicts the weather. Presenting an implemented prototype is the purpose of the thesis. As such, the purpose becomes to create a mobile application that implements a weather forecast model and translates the created weather forecast into a UI suited for a mobile application. The weather forecast model should use atmospheric pressure differences to create a weather forecast. The goal of the thesis is to find out how the purpose can be achieved, how a mobile application should behave in order to assure that the Smart Clothes system can create a weather forecast for the user. A partial goal is to understand how atmospheric pressure should be converted into a weather forecast and how the weather forecast should be translated into a UI. The result is presented in the form of a prototype, an iOS application. The created prototype uses atmospheric pressure differences to create a weather forecast. The weather forecast is shown to the user through a intuitive user interface. The prototype is tested through a user-test and is evaluated through a thorough model with criteria. The evaluation shows that the prototype is easy to use and understand. There are in the same time improvements to be done for the future. Proposals have been given for improvements. The user-test has shown that the interest in the prototype is higher in situations where the user lacks internet connectivity. There is thus, a link between the prototype's usability and internet connectivity. In other words, people find the prototype to be of a big benefit as it can be used without Internet connectivity. / ”Smart Clothes” refererar till klädesplagg som har integrerats med dataenheter. Plagg i kategorin kan användas för att informera individen om hans hälsa. Teknologin kan likväl användas för att spåra individens omgivning. Det finns många möjliga användningsområden för Smart Clothes. Den här uppsatsen baseras på idén att skapa en Smart-klädesplagg som kan skapa väderprognoser självständigt. Uppsatsen försöker lösa problemet om vad en mobil applikation måste göra i ett Smart-klädessystem som förutspår väder för användaren. Studien bygger på en induktiv forskningsinsats och syftar på att utforska faktorer runt utvecklingen av en mobilapplikation, som är ansedd att integreras i klädesplagg. Att presentera en skapad prototyp är uppsatsens syfte. Detta ger att syftet blir att skapa en mobil applikation som implementerar en väderprognos-modell och omvandlar den skapade prognosen till ett användargränssnitt som passar en mobil-applikation. Väderprognos-modellen ska kunna konvertera skillnader i lufttryck till en väderprognos. Målet av uppsatsen är att finna hur syftet kan uppfyllas, hur en mobil-applikation ska agera för att säkerställa att Smart-klädessytemet kan skapa en väderprognos för användaren. Ett delmål är att förstå hur lufttryck ska omvandlas till en väderprognos och hur väderprognosen ska omvandlas till att användargränsnitt. I egenskap av resultat presenteras en prototyp iOS mobilapplikation. Den skapade prototypen använder skillnader i lufttryck för att skapa en väderprognos. Väderprognosen visas vidare till användaren genom ett intuitivt användargränssnitt. Prototypen testas genom ett användartest och utvärderas genom en utarbetad modell med kriterier. Evalueringen visar att den skapade prototypen är lätt att använda och förstå. Samtidigt finns fortfarande förbättringar att göra i framtiden. Rapporten ger förslag till förbättringar. Användartest indikerar att intresset att använda produkten är högre i situationer då användaren saknar internetanslutning. Således finns det en länk mellan produktens användbarhet och internetanslutning. Alltså, personer finner att prototypen är av stor nytta för att den kan användas även utan uppkoppling till internet.
