This master’s thesis is focused on the risk analysis of the selected production process in company TES Vsetin, s.r.o. The thesis is divided into three parts, the theoretical part, analysis of the current state and design part. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to risk, risk analysis and tools for risk reduction. Some of these theoretical findings are then applied in the next section where these analyzes are used to the identification of risks. On the basis of these analyzes in the final part there will be designed proposals and recommendations, which should lead to a reduction of identified risks, including financial enumeration.

This master thesis is about capability analysis performed at Bosch Rexroth in Mellansel. The aim is to analyse the manufacturing process and to find where they are capable or not, by process observations and looking at the measured data over a period of time. The capability analysis is a statistical method, looking at both measured values of a produced part, as well as measurement distributions. It is used to find variation and predict future behaviour of the process. It is found that capability is a useful tool, and can be used to give manufacturing processes an index to measure the stability. The capability process is made in two steps. First the measuring tools are looked at, and if the tool is considered so that an operator can affect the process, then operator variation is as well looked at. When the measuring tool is capable the process data is analysed, to find or create a capable process. It was found that capability analysis is a powerful tool in order to give its production process a measurable value. The capability indices will provide answers if the process is stable or not, and it can be seen changes in stability over time. When working with capability easy method need to be establish in order to be able to fast provide the capability indices. It was also found that small changes in randomness of data can affect the result of the capability significantly, and cautions when data is not normal distributed when transforming data if needed. / I detta examensarbete är en kapabilitetsanalys genomförd hos Bosch Rexroth i Mellansel. Målet var att analysera deras tillverkningsprocess och hitta vart de är kapabel eller inte, genom att titta på processen och mätdata över en tidsperiod. En kapabilitetsprocess är en statisk metod, där man tittar på både mätvärden för producerade delar och fördelningar på mätdatat. Det används för att hitta variationer och för att kunna förutspå framtida händelser för en process. Kapabilitet är ett användbart verktyg och kan användas för att ge processen ett mätbart index för stabiliteten i processen. Kapabilitetsprocessen är genomfört i två steg. Först ses mätdonet över och om man antar att en operatör kan påverka mätutrustningen görs en operatörs variation för mätutrustningen. När mätutrustningen är kapabel analyseras insamlat mätdatat, för att se om processen är kapabel eller inte, då processen var icke kapabel utfördes en utvärdering på varför och hur de kan bli kapabel. Slutsatsen blev att kapabilitet är ett användbart verktyg för att kunna ge sin produktions process ett mätbart värde. Kapabilitetsindex kan ge svar på om process är stabil eller inte, man kan även se ändringar över en period av tid. Vid användning av kapabilitet är det viktigt att ha enkla arbetsmetoder för att snabbt kunna ge svar på processens kapabilitetindex, då små ändraringar på mätdatat kan ge märkbara ändringar på kapabiliteten. En viss aktsamhet behöver finnas då slumpvariationer på mätdatat uppstår och när en datainsamling inte är normalfördelat och eventuellt behöver transformeras.

Is it possible to produce DAISY talking books of acceptable quality without manually adjusting the reading order, inserting page numbers, fine-tuning lexicons, and so on? This question is especially urgent with regard to our open educational resources published on the OpenLearn website. This presentation recounts our experiences of a fully automated production process for DAISY talking books using only open source tools.

In the environment of network economy is current problem of logistics management area an question of collaborative planning of serial manufacturing in small and medium enterprises. Present progressive production systems with connection in complex and extensiveness of network environment is put increasing requirements on the area of design and execution of logistics plans, which could be realised on condition of excellent knowledge and evaluation of network environment. On the basis of thesis research is constitute initial categorization of basic logistics terms definition and comparation i. e. network, collaboration and production systems. The main framework of dissertation is based on survey of planning in present progressive forms of production systems up to the present agile forms of manufacturing systems. In dissertation thesis is designed and verified a new methodology of logistics network evaluation, which pay attention on collaborative planning procedure in logistics network in connection with external environment of network. A new logistics network methodology contains element supplier evaluation, time and product structure attributes of collaborative plans fulfilment and subsequent logistics controlling.

New technology, which has emerged as a part of the new industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, is changing the reality ofmanufacturing companies. Manufacturing companies are perplexed on which technologies to adopt in their productionprocesses, and when is the right time. This can be defined as a company’s ability to prepare for the future, andespecially, for these future technological challenges. A large part of being able to adopt these technologies into theproduction processes is related to the company’s ability to be innovative in their production processes. This is known asprocess innovation. Therefore, this thesis investigates how a production unit within a manufacturing company canmanage process innovation to prepare for future technological challenges. This purpose has been achieved by conducting a single case study, where the case company’s process innovation abilitieswere assessed, and combined with necessary tools to prepare the case company for the future. The case company chosenfor this thesis was Scania. They are a world-leading manufacturer of heavy trucks, buses, and engines. The case studyfocused on one of their productions units, which produce gearboxes and axles. The data for the study was collectedthrough qualitative interviews with members of the case company. The results indicate that the case company needs toimprove their process innovation abilities in order for them to be able to adopt new technologies in their productionprocess. They need a definition of innovation, and a strategy that includes innovation so that it is prioritized andviewed as important. Furthermore, management needs to encourage innovation, and increase their level of risk-taking sothat the culture of the case company is compatible with innovation. Finally, the results show that the case companymay need to redefine or reconsider their fundamental management principle “continuous improvement” to further givepriority to innovation in their production process. Furthermore, an overview of the necessary tools for preparing for thefuture are also covered. These are trend analysis, scenario planning, benchmarking, and technological roadmap. Usingthese four tools can help the company when making strategic decisions about the implementation of new technologies. Finally, this thesis contributes to science by providing empirical research on the topic of process innovation and gives aninteresting perspective on how it can be used to prepare for the future.

Essas rotinas aos poucos foram nivelando e pasteurizando as narrativas a ponto de sufocar o próprio feitio de uma reportagem. Em muitos momentos, os jornalistas conseguiram subverter essas técnicas e mesmo rotinas, fortalecendo um estilo jornalístico diferenciado, onde a história e o personagem são mais importantes do que o próprio formato tradicional dos textos de jornais e revistas. Esta pesquisa procurou mapear e desvendar os caminhos do jornalista João Antônio, que ao longo de sua carreira subverteu as regras e as rotinas através de um fazer jornalístico a partir das bordas, das margens sociais e das margens das teorias jornalísticas de escolha da notícia. A esse jornalismo, esta pesquisa denomina de jornalismo de bordas. Essa trajetória foi calcada em teorias da semiótica, do jornalismo e do estudo do processo criativo, a partir da crítica genética. A aplicação desse jornalismo de bordas pode resgatar o jornalismo mais literário, mais voltado aos personagens e suas histórias. / Journalism has a peculiar narrative by a process of technical and procedural routines in production environments. These routines were gradually leveling and pasteurizing narratives about to suffocate own making a report. In many instances, the journalists managed to subvert these same techniques and routines, strengthening distinguished journalistic style, where history and character are more important than the actual format of the traditional texts from newspapers and magazines. This research sought to map and uncover the paths of journalist John Anthony, who throughout his career has subverted the rules and routines from a journalistic from the edges, the margins and the margins of social theories of choice journalistic news. In this journalism, this research calls journalism edges. This trajectory was grounded in theories of semiotics, the study of journalism and the creative process, from the genetic criticism. The application of this journalism edges can redeem journalism more literary, aimed to the characters and their stories.
