En ständig strävan pågår i industrin mot att befästa och utveckla sina marknadspositioner genom ökad effektivitet, produktivitet, flexibilitet och kvalitet. Japan anses vara ett föregångsland i detta avseende och kända koncept som Just-in-time (1ff) eller Resurssnål produktion härstammar därifrån. Just-in-time-konceptet innebär en satsning på att minimera alla kostnader och all resursförbrukning.

As a complementary product to the Tetra Brik Aseptic packaging system, Tetra Pak is about to introduce a new, value added, aseptic packaging system called SCAP.

Distribution av temperaturkänsliga livsmedel går ut på att lagra, hantera och transportera varor till så låg kostnad som möjligt med bibehållande av så stor del som möjligt av ursprunglig kvalitet och hållbarhet. För att klara detta krävs att alla aktiviteter sker under temperaturkontrollerade former, vilket benämns kylkedja. Denna rapport behandlar de aktiviteter som sker i flödet från grossist

In this project, we are studying the material flow and the information flow of sample materials and the appurtenant report of deviation for the purpose to be able to suggest better solutions. The sample material, which is to be analysed, is to be continuously taken from the production flow. The purpose is to navigate the process by the results found by the analysis. Because of this, it's very

I Sverige ökar, enligt Statistiska Centralbyrån, antalet konsumenter som har tillgång till Internet, antingen i hemmet eller på jobbet. Det tillsammans med det faktum att befolkningen blir allt mer stressad, gör att dagligvaruhandel över Internet borde ha en möjlighet att fungera i Sverige. I litteraturen jag undersökt har jag funnit ett antal potentiella konsumentgrupper för inköp av dagligvaror

the most obvious problem at Traction today is the in-between handling that demands much time and resources. The reason is that the packages are not designed with handling in mind. Several of the packages of today also have a poor degree of utilization that means there is room for a fewer number of articles. That in turn means more packages, more transports, more storage space and more staff. On th

Problem Hur fungerar dagens kylkedja för den utvalda frysta produkten? Vilka skillnader finns mellan av företagen beskriven, och faktisk kylkedja? Kan Bioetts system förenkla kvalitetsarbetet i dagens kylkedjor? Kan Bioetts system visualisera brister i dagens kylkedjor? Syfte Syftet är uppdelat i tre olika områden: Dels skall det undersökas huruvida Bioetts system kan säkerställa en obruten kylke

Introduction: To gain competitiveness, industrial focuses are addressed towards product quality improvement, product time compression, costs and lead-time reduction.
