Previous issue date: 2014-08-08 / The importance of supply management for the medical-dental equipaments assemblers due to its contribution to the success of their business strategies, since more efficient delivery operations ensure the profitability of these companies. Such operations are based on the supply of parts and components with the desired quality in the required quantity, on schedule and at competitive costs. This paper analyzes the supply management of a medical-dental equipaments assembler, aiming to propose improvements in the practices currently adopted and thereby increase the performance of this important role at the company studied. To fulfill this objective, first developed a theoretical framework in order to develop a thorough knowledge of the subject, studied the industry and also to establish a conceptual framework focused on field research. Was then carried out a case study in the exploratory character of the analyzed company. The description of the results involved a comparison of the practices adopted in the enterprise with the theory of supply management, allowing the proposition of improvements, as gaps, which should provide the elevation of performing this important function in the company studied were found. / A gestão de suprimentos para as empresas montadoras da indústria médico-odontológica é importante, contribuindo para o êxito de suas estratégias de negócio, já que operações de fornecimento mais eficientes garantem a lucratividade dessas empresas. Tais operações se fundamentam no suprimento de peças e componentes com a qualidade desejada, na quantidade requerida, no prazo estipulado e com custos competitivos. Neste trabalho realiza-se uma análise da gestão de suprimentos de uma montadora de equipamentos médico-odontológicos, visando propor melhorias para as práticas de gestão atualmente adotadas e, com isso, elevar o desempenho dessa importante função na empresa estudada. Para o cumprimento desse objetivo, primeiramente, é apresentado um referencial teórico com o intuito de desenvolver um conhecimento aprofundado do tema de pesquisa e estabelecer uma estrutura conceitual para a realização da pesquisa de campo. Para desenvolver a pesquisa, optou-se pelo estudo de caso de caráter exploratório na empresa estudada. A descrição dos resultados envolveu uma comparação da pratica de gestão adotada na empresa com a teoria da gestão de suprimentos, permitindo a proposição de melhorias, à medida que foram encontradas lacunas, que devem propiciar a elevação do desempenho dessa importante função na empresa estudada.

Metody zlepšování ve vybraném podniku / Methods of Improvement in a Chosen CompanyHÁJKOVÁ, Pavlína January 2018 (has links)
The content of this diploma thesis includes description of different methods of improvement in business. It focuses on incremental improvements over time and also on breakthrough improvement - so called radical innovation. On the basis of knowledge gained while studying literature for the theoretical part, I have analyzed in the practical part the states of three selected improvement methods in the company Robert Bosch Ltd. Chosen areas were: the application of the 5S method in the company, the conduct of regular satisfaction surveys and the process of submission and evaluation of improvement. The 3rd mentioned area - the area of improvement proposals, is characterized in detail in the practical part and gradually leads to the application of my own improvement proposal into practice which is considered as the main contribution of this thesis. My own proposal deals with the optimization of warehouse management. It is focused on the external warehouse of Robert Bosch Ltd. in order to supply material to the company's production lines more efficiently. It concerns the rearranging of the storage of key material items and their transfer to more suitable rack positions within the warehouse. The calculations are based on the number of stock removals per quarter for each item. Due to the outputs of the data analysis processed in my own improvement proposal, it was possible to decide in which rack positions it would be appropriate to store individual material items so that their subsequent transfer into production would be as efficient as possible in terms of time and, therefore, in terms of financial costs. The amount of time taken to transfer material items into production was crucial for the results of this thesis because their more efficient placement reduces the handling time so that it is possible to quantify the time and therefore financial savings of the project. The data analysis was focused on material items placed on unsuitable rack positions due to their number of stock removals per quarter. The aim was to suggest which materials would be better to transfer to a more appropriate type of rack positions, with an emphasis on the key items that affect the process of removal into production the most and represent a considerable financial costs.

Svanencertifiering av flerbostadshus / The Nordic Swan applied to multi-family housingLarsson, Joakim, Falck, André January 2017 (has links)
Purpose: Today the amount of Eco labelled multi-family houses are increasing. The Nordic Swan is a well-known certification that has grown a lot when it’s comes to certifying multi-family houses in Sweden. Unlike other well-known ecolabels there are not many studies done on the Nordic Swan. By studying the certification, and its establishment, in two large projects the goal of this study is to pinpoint weaknesses in the process of attaining the Nordic Swan and then make improvement proposals.Method: In order to provide improvement proposals, a qualitative study was chosen. A study of literature and a document analysis is the foundation of the study by taking theoretical aspects into account, within the Nordic Swan and multi-family housing. The chosen qualitative method is also based on semi structured interviews. The interview respondents were selected as: two production supervisors, a site manager, a quality and environmental coordinator, a project manager and a project developer. All respondents are working daily with the projects, characterized by the Nordic Swan. The different persons were chosen to obtain a high validity of the study. To further increase the validity and its reliability, respondents were given back the empirical data so that they could make further comments and revisions. Reliability was assured by providing well-designed questions.Findings: The goal refers to improvements with the certification, propelling to new knowledge, within the area of the subject. The empirical investigation shows recurring problems with the product database within the certification, seen from the respondent’s experiences of working with the Nordic Swan in projects. They’ve informed about challenges that comes with respective working process. The certification is solid and gives a qualitative product, but has a time-consuming learning process. Overall, the respondent’s focused on the way of working with the ecolabel and the organisations way of managing the product database, both for an older and a new version.The improvement proposals that results from an analyzation of interviews concerns the communication between the Nordic Swan and its customers, how the Nordic Swan’s product database can improve when future versions releases and how the ecolabel could accomplish a greater eco-impact to the projects by promoting “green innovations”.Limitations: The study is limited to the application of the Nordic Swan in multi-family housing in two large projects. As the guidelines in the process do not differ between companies, the result can be considered general. Retrieving information from even more companies on the other hand could have resulted in a more accurate overall result.Implications: The drawn conclusion from the thesis is that the result creates opportunities for improving the certification process. It can also be used to get more companies to use the Nordic Swan. It provides an opportunity for both companies and individuals to farm an understanding regarding the certification. / Kvarteret Mars, Kolla Parkstad.
