Lean production : I en traditionellt styrd organisation / Lean production : In a traditionally managed organizationTrojefors, Viktor, Karlsson, Ludwig January 2014 (has links)
Lean production härstammar från företaget Toyota och Taiichi Ohno’s begrepp ToyotaProduction System. Metoden är idag ett dominerande styrmedel bland organisationer. Därmedhar konceptet implementerats i allt fler västerländska resultatstyrda organisationer, varsparametrar för kontroll skiljer sig mot de lean production utgår från. Dess innebörd sträckersig över stora delar av en organisation, vilket bidrar till begreppets komplexitet. Leanproduction förväntas ge upphov till continuous improvement samt elimination of waste.Utifrån detta har forskare formulerat 14 principer vilka sammanfattas i The Toyota Waymodel. För att erbjuda fler perspektiv till insamlad empiri har the Toyota Way model använtssom ett ramverk tillsammans med tre olika kategorier för kontroll: effekt- beteende- samtsocial styrning. Denna studie syftar dels till att identifiera formen av continuous improvementi företaget Ardaghs organisation, samt relationen mellan traditionella styrmedel och leanproduction.Studien tillämpar ett pragmatiskt förhållningssätt, med målet att insamlad empiri ska förklaraden teoretiska referensramen. Empirin samlades in genom observationer, samtal ochdokumentation från tre olika delar av Ardaghs verksamhet: administrationen, styrningen ochproduktionen. Den empirika datan samlades in med continuous improvement och internakontrollprocesser i åtanke.Studiens resultat indikerade att det i Ardaghs verksamhet förekom olika former av continuousimprovement och konflikter mellan kontrollprocesser. Formerna sammanfattas i studiensresultat genom två olika aspekter: den filosofiska och den instrumentella. Den filosofiskaaspektens utgångspunkt återfinns främst i lean productions grundförutsättningar, såsomlångsiktiga visioner, empowerment och strategier för att uppnå effektiviseringsvinster. Deninstrumentella aspekten kretsar främst kring hur lean-verktyg påverkar en organisationssjälvbild, samt hur traditionell budgetstyrning tenderar att hamna i konflikt med leanproductions metoder för kontroll. / Program: Civilekonomprogrammet

Estudo comparativo da estampabilidade do latão UNS C22000 produzido inicialmente pelo processo de fundição contínua em comparação a fundição semicontínua. / Comparative study of the stampability of the UNS C22000 brass produced initially by the process of continuous casting in comparison to the semicontinuous casting.Almeida, Leandro de 07 July 2017 (has links)
As curvas limite de conformação (CLC) são utilizadas há mais de 50 anos. Propostas inicialmente para o desenvolvimento de produtos provenientes da indústria automobilista em função das necessidades apresentadas pela área, são atualmente aplicadas de maneira geral para a indústria da estampagem na produção de inúmeros tipos de peças, oferecendo previsões de possíveis falhas e/ou defeitos durante as etapas do processo de estampagem. As CLC´s permitem prever o afinamento excessivo, enrugamento, estiramento e é claro, a fratura da peça. As diferenças metalúrgicas existentes entre os dois processos iniciais - fundição contínua (F.C.) e fundição semicontínua (F.S.C.) - resultam em diferenças nas propriedades finais obtidas para uma mesma rota de laminação a frio e recozimentos intermediários do material especificado. Desta forma, torna-se indispensável um estudo sobre a influência dos processos de fabricação iniciais F.C. e F.S.C. com relação à estampabilidade da liga, sendo esta avaliação efetuada através das CLC´s obtidas por ensaios de tração uniaxiais, propostos pelo IRSID (\"Institut de Recherches de La Sidérurgie\"), (lado esquerdo da curva ?2 < 0) e ensaio Erichsen (lado direito da curva ?2 > 0) e do ensaio de Nakazima reduzido em 60%, ou seja, todo o ferramental e os corpos de prova utilizados nos ensaios foram reduzidos em 60% das dimensões mencionadas pela norma ISSO 12004-2. A diferença microestrutural apresentada entre as etapas de fabricação dos dois processos avaliada através de ensaios de determinação do tamanho de grão, limites de resistência à tração, escoamento (0,2%), alongamento (em 50,80 mm), coeficientes de encruamento n, resistência K, ensaios de \"orelha\", levantamento da CLC0, Erichsen e textura, auxiliaram nas conclusões finais do levantamento das CLC´s para os dois processos do material acabado e metodologias. O processo de fundição semicontínua nas condições processadas apresentou melhores combinações entre as propriedades, exceto na formação de \"orelha\" apresentada na etapa intermediaria de processamento do material. Principalmente o parâmetro CLC0 no plano da chapa, resultou em uma deformação ?1 19% (?2 = 0), superior à apresentada pelo processo F.C., deformação muito importante para a fabricação de peças estampadas. Evidenciou-se também uma diferença de aproximadamente 37% entre as metodologias IRSID x Nakazima reduzido na obtenção da deformação plana para o processo F.C. e 31% para o processo de F.S.C.. Nas condições de deformação; estiramento biaxial, tração uniaxial e embutimento profundo, a chapa produzida pelo processo de fundição contínua apresenta melhor desempenho. / Forming limits curves (FLC) are used for more than 50 years. Initially proposed for the development of products from the automobile industry in terms of the needs of the area. It is currently being applied in general to the metal forming industry in the production of numerous types of parts, providing predictions of possible faults and / or defects during the stages of the stamping process. The FLC\'s can predict excessive thinning, wrinkling, stretching and of course, the fracture of the part. The existing metallurgical differences between the two initial processes - continuous casting (C.C.) and semi-continuous casting (S.C.C.) - result in differences in the final properties obtained for the same route of cold rolling and intermediate annealing of the specified material. Thus, it is essential to study the influence of the initial manufacturing processes CC and SCC with respect to the formability of the sheets. This investigation is based on the, assessment of the FLC\'s obtained by uniaxial tensile tests proposed by IRSID (\"Institut de Recherches de Sidérurgie\"), (?2 < 0, left side of the curve) and Erichsen test (right side of curve. ?2> 0) and the Nakazima test reduced by 60%. The difference between the sheets obtained in both processing routes was evaluated by the following parameters: grain size, tensile strength limits, yield strength (0.2%), elongation (at 50.80 mm), strain hardening coefficient n, resistance K, \"earing\" test, lifting of the CLC0, Erichsen test and texture where discussed in view of the obtained FLC\'s for both the two processes of the finished material. The semi-continuous casting process in processed conditions showed better combinations of properties except the formation of \"earing\" presented at the intermediate stage of processing of the material. Particularly the evaluation of the FLC0 parameter resulted in a strain in the plate plane ?1 19% (?2 = 0) superior to the sheet obtained by the continuous casting process. A difference of approximately 37% between the IRSID x Nakazima methodologies was also reduced in obtaining the flat deformation for the F.C. process and 31% for the F.S.C. process. However, for other deformation paths; biaxial stretching, uniaxial traction and deep drawing of the results for the continuous casting sheet were superior.

Auditoria contínua de dados como instrumento de automação do controle empresarial. / Continuous data auditing as a tool of corporate control automation.Silva, Washington Lopes da 25 October 2012 (has links)
A dependência tecnológica das atividades e dos processos de negócios no mundo corporativo impulsionou o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas de auditoria para apurar possíveis falhas sistêmicas, que pudessem afetar os controles internos das companhias. Sendo assim, a necessidade de automação dos testes de auditoria motivou a elaboração do conceito e a implantação de projetos de auditoria contínua de dados no ambiente empresarial. Esta tese avalia os principais aspectos críticos para a construção da auditoria contínua de dados, considerando o uso da tecnologia da informação e das técnicas de auditoria com auxílio do computador. A partir da fundamentação teórica formularam-se quatro premissas básicas, as quais derivaram oito proposições e onze aspectos críticos, os quais foram colocados em prova de conceito, por meio de estudo de casos múltiplos no cenário empresarial brasileiro. A pesquisa afirma que os aspectos críticos para a construção da auditoria contínua de dados, originários da fundamentação teórica e corroborados pelo resultado do estudo de casos múltiplos, servirão como direcionadores para a inicialização de projetos de auditoria contínua, bem como para sua reestruturação. / The technology dependence of activities and business processes in corporate world driving the development of new audit techniques to investigate possible systemic failures, that could affect the internal controls of companies. Thus, the need for automation of auditing tests led to the development of the concept and implementation of projects for continuous auditing of data in the enterprise environment. This thesis evaluates the major critical issues for the construction of continuous auditing of data, considering the use of information technology and the computer assisted audit techniques. From the theoretical foundation formulated four basic premises, which were derived eight propositions and eleven critical aspects, which were placed in a proof of concept, through multiple case study in the Brazilian business scenario. The research argues that the critical aspects for the construction of continuous auditing of data, originated in theoretical foundation and corroborated by the results of multiple case study, will serve as drivers for the initialization of continuous auditing projects as well as for its restructuring.

Examination of Adoption Theory on the DevOps Practice of Continuous DeliveryAnderson, Andrew John 01 January 2019 (has links)
Many organizations have difficulty adopting advanced software development practices. Some software development project managers in large organizations are not aligned with the relationship between performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, as moderated by experience, with intent to adopt the DevOps practice of continuous delivery. The purpose of this study was to examine the statistical relationships between the independent variablesâperformance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, as moderated by experienceâand the dependent variable of behavioral intent to adopt a continuous delivery system. Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, and Davis's unified theory of acceptance and use of technology provided the theoretical framework. A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed on survey data from 85 technical project managers affiliated with LinkedIn project management groups. The analysis reflected that only performance expectancy was significant in predicting intent to adopt continuous delivery. The findings may contribute to social change by providing project managers with the information they need to support organizational change, collaboration, and facilitation. The knowledge gained may additionally help organizations develop operational efficiency, competitive advantage, and generate higher value to their clients and society.

Evaluation of performance and maximum length of continuous decks in simple-span bridgesSnedeker, Katherine O. 08 April 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the performance history of continuous bridge decks in the State of Georgia, to determine why the current design detail works, to recommend a new design detail if necessary, and to recommend the maximum and/or optimum lengths of continuous bridge decks. The continuous bridge decks have continuous reinforcement over the junction of two edge beams with a construction joint for crack control. The current technical literature and current practices and design procedures were synthesized and summarized. GDOT maintenance reports were reviewed, and field evaluations were conducted to determine the performance of the continuous deck detail. The effects of bridge movement due to thermal strains, shrinkage, and live loads were considered in the analytical studies to better understand the demands placed on the GDOT continuous deck detail. A summary of the design and length recommendations was provided upon completion of the research.
