Aktiv implementering av operasjonelle Lean prinsipper blant prosjektdeltakere på byggeplass : En kvalitativ casestudie
2019
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse IND590 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Methods such as Lean and continuous improvement characterize an increasing number ofcompanies across industries. Despite a willingness to improve, studies show that companiesare struggling getting the methodology to last after pilot projects and hence fall back intoold routines. The solution seems to be an increased involvement of employees and a changein the management’s focus to promote employee independence. Micromanagement mustbe replaced with a management that focuses on processes rather than results, believingin employees capabilities. When introducing a principle- based managament it enables the…

Managing Change When Implementing a New Project Management Methodology : A Constructive Approach to Change Management
2018
Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management IND590 - University of Agder 2018 Standardisation of project management seems to become more significant for several actors in the construction industry. Current models for project execution do not make enough effort to utilise expertise and experience to make the product better and the price lower, and grant few incentives to use new technology (Statens Vegvesen, 2017). An initiative by employees in Sweco Norway has resulted in the creation of a new project management methodology, which they believe will enable them to execute their projects in a more structured and standardised manner. The new methodology is a toolbox consisti…
Risk-Based Thinking in Quality Management, an ISO 9001:2015 Requirement : A case study to identify underlying elements enabling risk-based thinking i…
2017
Master's thesis Industrial Economics and Technology Management - University of Agder 2017 Issues and Purpose One of the most significant changes in ISO 9001:2015 versus ISO 9001:2008 is the increased focus on risk-based thinking (RBT) in requirements for planning, review and improvement of the quality management system (QMS) and its processes. To enable RBT in organizations related to the QMS, management must understand what RBT is, and have knowledge about the theoretical foundation of the term. A theoretical foundation for RBT is found to be lacking in literature. This is considered a significant challenge for management seeking to implement RBT with regards to their QMS. Consequently, th…
Digital transformasjon og smidig tilnærming i offentlig sektor
2021
Master's thesis in Industrial economics and technology management (IND590) Digital transformasjon er et begrep som stadig får mer oppmerksomhet i litteraturen. I en tidsalder preget av økende bruk av digitale teknologier stilles det høyere krav til virksomheter om å stadig levere bedre digitale tjenester til brukere. Som følge av tilvekst av ny teknologi skapes det et mulighetsrom som virksomheter må evne å unytte, også i offentlig sektor. For å optimalt kunne utnytte dette potensialet undersøkes det om smidig tilnærming kan være hensiktsmessig i denne sammenheng. I denne kvalitative studien undersøkes det nærmere bestemt hvordan smidig tilnærming kan understøtte digital transformasjon i of…

Relational contracting is often regarded as means to integrate project owner and contractors’ interest. However due to the exist…
Bruk av BIM i beslutningsprosesser : En kvalitativ studie av veibyggingsprosjektet E39 Kristiansand - Mandal
2021
Master's thesis in Industrial economics and technology management (IND590) Bruk av BIM-modeller for prosjektering i bygg og anleggsbransjen har utviklet seg til å bli en bransjestandard, men litteraturen rundt bruk av BIM i beslutningsprosesser er svakt utviklet. Denne masteroppgaven er gjennomført i samarbeid med Nye Veier, AF gruppen og Norconsult, og har undersøkt hvordan BIM påvirker gode beslutningsprosesser i prosjektering. Oppgaven består av en kvalitativ casestudie av veibyggingsprosjektet E39 Kristiansand – Mandal og søker gjennom intervjuer svar på følgende to forskerspørsmål: 1) «Hvilke faktorer kjennetegner gode beslutningsprosesser i veibygging?» og 2) «Hvordan påvirker BIM dis…
