Examensarbetets syfte är att genomföra en utvärdering av produktivitetspotentialen på Gnutti i Kungsör och dessutom komma med förslag på lämpliga åtgärder som kan resultera i en förbättrad produktivitet. Effektivitet i maskinutrustning mäts i OEE, Overall Equipment Efficiency, vilket på svenska står för den totala utrustningseffektivteten. OEE-talet baseras på faktorerna tillgänglighet, effektivitet och kvalitet. Det primära målet för vinstdrivande industriföretag är att skapa lönsamhet genom att förädla sina produkter effektivt och då måste fokus på att mäta produktionseffektiviteten på rätt sätt finnas. För att mäta hur väl ett produktionssystem använder sina resurser kan OEE-mätningar utföras. För att kunna mäta den verkliga produktiviteten och dessutom kunna komma med förslag på lämpliga åtgärder för att höja OEE-talet anser författarna att en lättarbetad och konkret metod för produktivitetsutvärdering är lämplig att utgå från. Teori om produktivitets- potentialanalysmetoden förkortat PPA-metoden samt Rapid Plant Assessment process, RPA- processen har studerats och författarna har efter noggrant avvägande valt att använda PPA- metoden. En förbättring av OEE-talet kan verka som ett verktyg för att öka produktiviteten. Men för att höja OEE krävs det att inblandade parter förstår varför mätningen genomförs, hur mätetalet fungerar och kännedom om vad framtaget mätetalet ska användas till. Författarna har genomfört mätningar av OEE-faktorerna såsom de beskrivs i teorin. De, av författarna, uppmätta resultaten visar på att om en samverkan sker på ett optimalt sätt så kan mycket höga OEE-tal nås. För att nå det optimala tillståndet krävs det dock att processen är i ett stabilt tillstånd med minimal mängd oplanerade stopp. Uppmätt ”Best of the best-OEE” visar på att det finns potential att höja produktiviteten vilket sedermera kommer att visa sig i ett höjt OEE. De mätningar som genomförts för OEE på Gnutti har visat på att det främst är faktorn ”Effektivitet” som är den kritiska faktorn för att nå ett högt OEE-tal. I denna faktor innefattas kroniska störningar där stopp kan härledas till hastighetsförluster. Produktivitetspotentialen i produktionslinan anses vara mycket stor och genom enkla, i rapporten föreslagna medel, kan OEE-talet höjas vilket i sin tur kommer att påverka dess utfall i samma riktning.

Prokon is a production consultant firm that operates in the manufacturing industry and strive to increase their client’s profits primarily through primarily work sampling. The consultant firm has a wide customer basis, which requires Prokon to work according to a generalizable model, applicable to all of their clients. Prokon work continuously with improving its firm and with that in mind they are interested in increasing their customer satisfaction. The purpose of the report is to analyze the customer needs, by looking at it from a production and manufacturing perspective, of what Prokon actually delivers. By doing so a stable foundation will emerge to improve internal quality work at Prokon. The report uses the company NIBE as its case study object. Interviews, study visits and general observations has been used to analyze the customer needs. The interviews are based on the GAP Model, which is used to find potential misinterpretations between Prokon and the case study object NIBE. Observations was performed on the work sampling techniques/methods, in order to find knowledge about the possibilities of integrating any implementation to the methods. One of the potential implementations which is brought up in this report is the PPA method, which is analyzed in order to see if it can be integrated into Prokon’s work sampling technique. A couple of items are brought up in the analysis of the rapport, who concerns flaws between Prokon and NIBE as partners, but also internal flaws at Prokon. The analysis can then be linked with previously documented theories to strengthen the items/theses which occurred in the analysis. Four suggestions of improvement arises from the analysis, who are meant to increase Prokon’s customer satisfaction and their internal working methods. Two of which concerns Prokon’s work sampling techniques, another one Prokon’s follow-up and the last one is about Prokon’s ability to customize their offer.

PPA resins is a good choice for special applications where the conditions are more severe than the ones an engineering thermoplastic can handle. In this study it was prepared two different types of PPA composites through the mixture of PPA and the elastomeric component and the nanoparticles of the mineral filler. The thermoplastic elastomer that was used is the block copolymer SEBS (styrene- ethylene/butylene-styrene), grafted with maleic anhydride and the mineral filler to be used is the nanosized calcium carbonate filler surface treated with stearic acid. The main emphasis of the study is to study the effects of incorporation of organic and inorganic additives in the toughening mechanisms, in the mechanical properties (especially impact strength) and in the structure of the PPA matrix and relationship between them. The mixture of the seventeen composition was done into a twin screw extruder. The inorganic nanoparticles of calcium carbonate did not alter significantly the properties of impact resistance, while the incorporation of SEBS obtained an increase up to ten times compared to pure PPA. However, the presence of rubber phase resulted in reduced stiffness of the system, which did not occurred in the nanocomposites, where such property has increased in value. Calcium carbonate in this system did not act as nucleating agent, and its incorporation decreased both the crystallization temperature as the degree of crystallinity. The presence of SEBS-g-MA in the blend PPA / SEBS promoted a decrease in particle size, which resulted in better mechanical properties. / O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi a tenacificação de um termoplástico de alto desempenho, a poli(ftalamida) (PPA) através da adição de componentes rígidos e elastoméricos. As resinas de PPA utilizadas neste trabalho são uma interessante opção para aplicações especiais onde as condições são mais severas que naquelas em que termoplásticos de engenharia podem atuar de forma satisfatória. O estudo consistiu na incorporação na resina de componente elastomérico, bem como de nanocarga inorgânica. O elastômero termoplástico utilizado foi o copolímero em bloco SEBS (estireno-etileno/butileno- estireno), enxertado com anidrido maleico, bem como o SEBS sem enxertia. Já a carga mineral foi o carbonato de cálcio nanoparticulado (tratado superficialmente com ácido esteárico). A ênfase principal do trabalho consistiu na comparação dos efeitos separados do componente orgânico e do inorgânico nas propriedades mecânicas, principalmente resistência ao impacto, e na morfologia dos sistemas, bem como a relação entre eles. As incorporações foram feitas em uma extrusora dupla rosca, totalizando dezessete composições. A nanocarga inorgânica de carbonato de cálcio não alterou significativamente as propriedades de resistência ao impacto, enquanto que com a incorporação dos elastômeros SEBS e SEBS-g-MA obteve-se aumento de até dez vezes em relação ao PPA puro. Porém, a presença da fase borrachosa acarretou em diminuição da rigidez do sistema, fato que não ocorreu nos nanocompósitos, onde tal propriedade sofreu aumento de valor. O carbonato de cálcio neste sistema não atuou como agente nucleante, sendo que sua incorporação diminuiu tanto a temperatura de cristalização quanto o grau de cristalinidade. A presença de SEBS-g-MA na blenda PPA/SEBS promoveu diminuição do tamanho de partícula, o que se traduziu em melhores propriedades mecânicas.

Esta pesquisa está inserida no âmbito do planejamento estratégico governamental orientado para a esfera municipal, sob a perspectiva analítica do Plano Plurianual (PPA) como um instrumento estratégico de gestão pública. Recentemente, alguns municípios se destacaram durante o processo de elaboração de seus PPAs, despertando interesse na agenda de pesquisa de planejamento governamental, sobre o processo metodológico utilizado, e se estes municípios possuem características da densidade macroestratégica conceito recentemente estudado por grupos de pesquisadores. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma análise teórico-empírica do planejamento governamental municipal, que será construída a partir das principais teorias normativas e explicativas do planejamento, e do conceito de densidade macroestratégica, aplicados em municípios outliers na elaboração de PPAs. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi desenvolvido, em profundidade, um estudo de caso em dois municípios Niterói, RJ e Osasco, SP elencados como outliers em planejamento governamental, no qual foram propostas oito (8) categorias de análise, fundamentadas nas principais teorias sobre planejamento governamental e estratégia, propondo um modelo analítico de Planos Plurianuais municipais com densidade macroestratégica. Os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa, poderá contribuir desde o aspecto gerencial da administração pública, no que se refere ao processo de elaboração de PPA, quanto ao aprofundamento teórico no campo do planejamento governamental municipal, que aos poucos vem ganhando maior destaque nas agendas de pesquisas / This research is part of the scope of the governmental strategic planning oriented to the municipal sphere, under the analytical perspective of the Plurianual Plan (PPA) as a strategic instrument of public management. Recently, some municipalities have stood out during the process of elaborating their PPAs, arousing interest in the governmental planning research agenda, on the methodological process used, and if these municipalities have characteristics of macro-strategic density - a concept recently studied by groups of researchers. The objective of this work is to perform a theoretical-empirical analysis of municipal government planning, which will be built from the main normative and explanatory theories of planning, and from the concept of macro-strategic density, applied in outliers municipalities in the elaboration of PPAs. In order to reach this objective, a case study was developed in depth in two municipalities - Niterói, RJ and Osasco, SP - listed as outliers in governmental planning, in which eight (8) analysis categories were proposed, based on the main theories on government planning and strategy, proposing an analytical model of municipal Pluriannual Plans with macro-strategic density. The results obtained in this research may contribute from the managerial aspect of public administration, as far as the PPA elaboration process is concerned, as to the theoretical deepening in the field of municipal government planning, which has gradually gained greater prominence in research agendas

SELECTED ORGANIZATION AND ASSOCIATION FOR PHARMACISTS IN GREECE Author: Christina Papamichail Tutor: RNDr. Jana Kotlářová, Ph.D. Department of Social and Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Kralove, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic Aim of study: The aim of Diploma thesis was to get current knowledge about the selected organizations and associations for pharmacists in Greece, especially about the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association (PFS), their role, interconnection and influence not only in the selected part of society such as pharmacists but in the society in Greece generally and to shortly compare the situation these vocational organizations in Greece and in Czech Republic. Methods: The data collection through appreciation of information from different reliable internet sources, Greek legislation, as well from discussion with members of PFS. The paper form of literature is for this topic limited. Results: The role of the PFS in Greece is the same vital as the role of Czech Chamber of Pharmacists in Czech Republic (CLNK). The most important difference between them is in membership. In Greece due to the difficult and strictly conditions in the field of economy the role of the chamber is essentially inactive in comparison with the CLNK. The reason of this inactivity is...

Every year approximately 400 000 pedestrians are killed worldwide in road related injuries where children and elderly are the most exposed age groups. The design of the front-end of a vehicle and the structural stiffness have a significant influence on the kinematics and injury risks of the pedestrian body. To create a clearance between the rigid hood structure and the hood, the hood is lifted. A lifted hood does however not provide protection over the cowl, windscreen and A-pillar areas. This study is performed at Autoliv Sverige AB and the purpose is to examine how fast the hood can be lifted 100 mm using a pedestrian protection airbag. The airbag give an extended protection while covering the cowl, windscreen and A-pillar areas. A concept generation session was performed where modifications of the current pedestrian protection airbag, for a faster hood lift, were proposed. The generated concepts proceeded to a concept screening session where the Autoliv evaluation matrix was used. The selected concepts went further to static testing where the performance of each concept was tested. The performance include the lift time of 100 mm for the most rearward section of the hood, positioning of the cushion and pressure distribution. The tests were carried out in a room temperature environment. To conclude the thesis work, one winning concept could not be obtained. Two concepts excelled themselves from all the concepts and a difference in the performances between these two concepts could not be found. In this thesis no calculations on costs such as material costs and manufacturing costs has been made. This can be the major aspect on choosing one winning concept but due to the fact that there is no time for a cost analysis in this thesis, the PPA development team will take over.
