An empirical investigation into the sources of supply chain disruptions
2019
Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management IND590 - University of Agder 2019 Firms are facing a vast array of risks which can cause disruptions to the normal operation of their supply chains. Managers striving to prepare for and overcome these disruptions have a broad selection of literature and risk reports at their disposal when assessing risks to their supply chain. These risk reports and academic works provide differentiated and compelling answers to what are the most pressing risks to supply chains, but are they accurate? This study aims at providing managers with an empiricalfoundation on what the main sources of supply chain disruptions have been the last decade b…
The Impact of Digital Vulnerabilities on Organizational Resilience : A case study of different perceptions in a supply chain
2019
Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management IND590 - University of Agder 2019 Digitalization hasled organizations to bemore effective and cost efficient. However,it has also broughtnew sets of vulnerabilities. Digital vulnerabilities can occurfrom technology, such as bugs or malfunction in software, or from human interaction with technology. These vulnerabilities could originate from either intentional or unintentional actionsand reduce an organizations’resilience if appropriate capabilitiesare not constructed. These capabilities areconsidered to be an organizations’skill to achieve itsambiguous goals. This thesisaimsto investigate how digital vulnerabilities impact organ…
Norske ledere i fremmedkulturelle situasjoner : en kvalitativ studie av beslutningsadferd i Maritime Hydraulics AS
2004
Hovedoppgave i Industriell økonomi og informasjonsledelse, Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Dagens ledere står overfor stadig nye utfordringer, for eksempel gjennom økt internasjonalisering. Nye utfordringer gjør lederadferd viktigere enn noen gang. Vi ønsket å undersøke og kartlegge norske lederes adferd. Vi har formulert følgende forskningsspørsmål som avhandlingen søker svar på: I en norsk bedrift, hvordan utøver norske ledere i fremmedkulturelle situasjoner lederadferd i beslutningsprosesser? For å få svar på dette undersøkte vi erfaringene til et utvalg av ledere i én norsk bedrift. Undersøkelsen viser at fremmedkulturelle situasjoner synes å påvirke lederadferd når beslutningsalternativer …
IT-sikkerhetspolicy for Integrerte operasjoner
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Ved å benytte IKT i alle ledd i oljeindustrien, vil man oppnå hurtigere og bedre beslutninger, og med hjelp av sanntidsdata kan man integrere arbeidsprosesser på tvers av fag og mellom organisasjoner. Denne utviklingen blir i oljenæringen kalt Integrerte operasjoner (IO). Ved hjelp av IO kan operasjoner styres uavhengig av avstand og geografisk lokasjon. Det er satt inn store ressurser på dette feltet, og allerede i dag ser man vellykkede implementeringer av Integrerte operasjoner. Med Internett som en del av bærenettverket for data produsert i oljenæringen, vil trafikken i utgangspunktet være svært …
Managing HMI utilities for control systems
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The supervisor of this project, Origo Engineering AS delivers complete control and automation systems for the oil industry and smelting plants. Each hardware and software package is custom‐made. A part of the functionality is implemented by scripts – small programs that are coded and run directly on a Human Machine Interface (HMI) server. This method has some challenges, which are listed and further described in this report. Those challenges increase the time and cost of producing the control and automation system. The purpose of this master thesis is to design a solution that will solve those challe…

A novel learning automata game with local feedback for parallel optimization of hydropower production
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Hydropower optimization for multi-reservoir systems is classi ed as a combinatorial optimization problem with large state-space that is particularly di cult to solve. There exist no golden standard when solving such problems, and many proposed algorithms are domain speci c. The literature describes several di erent techniques where linear programming approaches are extensively discussed, but tends to succumb to the curse of dimensionality problem when the state vector dimensions increase. This thesis introduces LA LCS, a novel learning automata algorithm that utilizes a parallel form of local feedbac…
Transition to a fossil- and emission-free construction industry
2018
Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management IND590 - University of Agder 2018 The object for this thesis is to see how Nettpartner, which is Norway’s largest electrical infrastructure contractor, can contribute to the green change in the construction industry. To go green has become a big topic in the Norwegian construction industry during the last few years, and in 2017 a report concluded that the Norwegian construction industry could reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases with close to 99 % if the industry planned better before they started building. The method used in this research is the constructive research. The aim of constructive research is to solve practical…
Development and Testing of Web GUI Application for the LHCb VELO Data Quality Monitoring System
2014
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2013 A great interest of IT engineers at CERN is to simplify the access to the Data Quality Monitoring(DQM) applications that usually lay behind several layers of security firewalls. In order to makeit simple and thus help to save time for the scientist who rely on this data, additional applicationfor the Web had to be developed and tested. The goal of this thesis work was to developsuch a Web DQM application for CERN. First, a Web Graphical User Interface (GUI) wasdeveloped. In parallel, an Apache server was installed and configured for testing. Moreover,software program called ROOTJS that processes and d…
On the Potential of Emerging Learning Technology Standards and Specifications to Enhance Learning Experience
2016
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2016 Emerging educational technologies had a significant impact on the learning environment. Nowadays, classrooms are no longer as simple as it used to be, like using chalks and blackboards. Lots of technologies (e.g. video projectors, electronic boards) have been integrated to learning environments to better support students and teachers. eLearning is one the technologies that provided virtual classrooms environments on the Web. eLearning helped teachers and students to have a better control over courses and learning process respectively. In this thesis, I had an investigation on the potential of some…
