Critical success factors and criteria in the purchasing process A case study of a development project in Uganda
2015
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 The research concerns how critical factors influence the procurement process to assure available equipment in the project. The case studied, Distance Education Leapfrogging Project, is a development project at Makerere University in Uganda. The project’s procurement process is critical to achieve project success, due to delays of equipment needed and equipment delivered with wrong specifications. Hence, to ensure adequate equipment according to schedule and more likely achieve success in DELP, the research concerns how critical factors influence the procurement process in the project to achieve success. The r…
To Increase Employee Engagement in Lean Continuous Improvement A Case Study at Fibo-Trespo
2015
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Fibo-Trespo produces laminate bathroom panel and countertops, in their production facilities based in Lyngdal. The organization started their lean journey in 2007, which has led to increased revenue throughout the years to follow. Today the organization is recognized as one of the leading organization within lean. Fibo-Trespo has gone through extensive changes since 2007, and our research seeks to determine if these changes has anchored into the organization’s workforce. More specifically, our research takes a closer look at the organizations approach to lean continuous improvement, and the effect it has on t…
Waste in Design and Engineering
2015
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Issues and Purpose Predictability in design and engineering processes is a significant challenge. It is important to improve predictability since design and engineering processes affects the entire product life-cycle. Increased predictability can render these processes more effective, thus, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that might impact value-creation. This study is part of the Integrated Methodology for Project Management (INPRO) project, which aims to improve planning processes in the construction industry. Consequently, the objective of our study is to identify the mechanisms that may potential…
Risikobasert vedlikeholdsplanlegging og fornyelsesstrategi for høyspente luftlinjer i distribusjonsnettet
2015
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 I de senere år har nettselskapene blitt presset til mer effektiv drift av nettet. Dette medfører at det stilles strengere krav til systematiske metoder og gode analyser for investering, drift og vedlikehold. Denne rapporten ser på mulighetene for å utvikle verktøy og metoder for å skaffe et bedre beslutnings-grunnlag ved fornyelsesvurdering av høyspente luftlinjer i distribusjonsnettet hos Agder Energi Nett. Forskerspørsmålet undersøker om det er hensiktsmessig å benytte risikobaserte metoder og kost-nytte-analyser for å forbedre vedlikeholdsplanlegging, samt videreutvikle fornyelses-vurderingsprosessen, som …

Praktiske utfordringer ved modulær produktutvikling Erfaringer hentet fra modulbasert utvikling av et micro-avfallsforbrenningsanlegg
2015
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Målet med prosjektet som denne oppgaven er basert på er å utvikle et modulært micro-avfallsforbrenningsanlegg. Behovet for et slikt produkt har oppstått fordi det i mange øysamfunn er vanskelig å bli kvitt avfallet lokalt. Avfallet må ofte fraktes langt med skip til deponier på fastlandet. For å løse dette problemet er det ønskelig å brenne avfallet, men det finnes for tiden ikke utslippsgodkjente småskala avfallsforbrenningsanlegg som kan gjøre dette lønnsomt. Dette vil TeamTec gjøre noe med, da de besitter stor kunnskap knyttet til små og effektive forbrenningsovner til skip. De ønsker ved hjelp av standard…
System Identification of a Variable Piston Pump and Design of a Hydraulic Load Circuit
2015
Masteroppgave i mekatronikk - Universitetet i Agder, 2015 This master thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the identification and modeling of a Bosch Rexroth variable piston pump in both frequency and time domain. The second part presents a hydraulic load circuit which is mounted inside a test container. The load circuit is used to test the pump in a suitable load situation which represents a small scale Active Heave Compensation (AHC) scenario. The considered pump is named A4VSG, and the internal swash plate angle is controlled with a hydraulically driven control system delivered by Bosch Rexroth. Several frequency response tests have been carried out to identif…
AG FRONZONI,一個字母片段包含整個世界 / AG FRONZONI, a fragment of letter contains the whole world
2009
AG Fronzoni總是從牛群中走出來，作為一個巨大的鯨類，他獨自穿越海洋，就像一個想要測試自己能力的孤獨探險家，他知道首先他可以依靠自己的勇氣，除了必要的設備。同樣，他經歷了無盡而冰冷的冰川，在那裡，他已經學會瞭如何認識如此多的白色色調，並以不同的方式命名每一個，或者包含所有顏色的黑色。整個黑色作為夜晚的落下，無法吞噬每一個元素，包括那個向上彎曲的白色擴散溶解每一個突破，與極地天空變得一模一樣，白色像同樣的冰凍表面，漂白黑夜，深褐色至淺灰色，暫時取消其記憶。從來沒有看到絕對勝利者的驚人決鬥再次以這種方式形成，黑色和白色像古代的對手一樣彼此面對，意識到他們可以互相傷害死亡，但他們不能沒有另外，在反對派中很好地描述了與光明和黑暗交替有關的一個主要謎團。 A G Fronzoni has always swum away from the herd, as an enormous cetacean he has crossed alone the oceans, like a solitary explorer who wants to put his capabilities to test , and he knows that first of all he can count on his own courage, in addition to the essential equipment. The same he has gone through the endless and livid glaciers, where like the esquimese peo…
An Empirical Investigation of Green Product Design and Development Strategies for Eco Industries Using Kano Model and Fuzzy AHP
2022
Collaboration in green product design and development is becoming more significant to ensure a brighter future for eco industries, and research into such innovation has increased in recent years. So, it has been emphasized by practitioners that green thinking should be adopted from the design stage through the development stage and into the disposal stage of a product. However, it is challenging to identify the severity of strategies that mainly hampers the growth of green product design and development (GPDD). The current research aimed to identify and rank various strategies based on their significant impact on the development of green product design. The study contains three segments: (1…
Estetica e oggetti quotidiani ?
2014
According to Hegel and to the romantic theory, Aesthetics is a philosophy of art. However, nowadays we can experience the beauty not only with art, but also with every product (fashion, videogames, cars, technological products). So we can query if the realm of aesthetics should hold also everyday products and how this could transform the traditional aesthetic categories.This essay aim to answer these questions. It aim furthermore to sketch the product’s theoretical foundations referring to national and international debate which have dealt with everyday aesthetics according to different point of view.
