Abstract

This research aims to optimize the CAPEX purchasing process in a large polymetallic mining company, evaluating the problems and bottlenecks present in this process. The methodology presented focuses on the exhaustive collection of quantitative and qualitative data, as well as on the implementation of strategies based on Lean methodologies such as Just in Time and Muda. As a result, there is a significant reduction in delivery times for purchase orders, as well as an improvement in efficiency and overall process performance, validated by statistical analysis and simulations in ARENA software. The conclusion is that the implementation of the Just in Time and Muda strategies has proven to be effective in optimizing the CAPEX purchasing process, with positive impacts on operational efficiency and reduction of times with a 95% confidence level. It is recommended to continue exploring the potential of the Just in Time methodology in international environments and to monitor the improvements implemented in the long term.

Abstract

Brands play an important role in the consumer decision-making process. In addition to guaranteeing the reliability and quality of the product to the consumer, they at the same time facilitate the mental process of choosing between different products. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect that brands have on the decision-making process for the purchase of products. To achieve this goal, a survey was conducted with 400 Kosovar consumers using the online survey method through convenient sampling. Factor analysis, reliability analysis, linear regression analysis, correlation analysis, t-test analysis, and One-Way ANOVA were used for data analysis. The results of the factor analysis for the brand characteristics questionnaire highlighted seven factors: brand love, brand loyalty, brand commitment, brand awareness, price awareness, brand attraction, and brand image. The results of the factor analysis for the purchasing involvement rate questionnaire provided six factors: desire to purchase, brand relevance, evaluation of alternatives, discount advertising, price relevance, and post-purchase satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis show that brands have a significant impact on the purchasing decision process. In addition, it has been found that brand characteristics differ according to purchasing habits and demographic characteristics of consumers. At the same time, it has been found that the buying process also differs according to some buying habits and some demographic characteristics of the consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

10. Problemidentifiering inom logistik i byggsektorn : Med ett fördjupande på anläggningsföretag

Author

Andersson, Isak, Askerson, Noah, Andersson, Isak, and Askerson, Noah

Abstract

Offentliga byggprojekt, som Förbifart Stockholm, överskrider ofta sina budgetar och tidsplaner. Projektet har ökat från en budget på 25 till 51,5 miljarder kronor och tidsplanen har förlängts från 2026 till 2030. Byggprojektens logistik utmanas av att arbetsplatserna skiftar, vilket påverkar material- och utrustningshanteringen som kan utgöra över 70 % av kostnaderna. Effektiv materialhantering är avgörande för att undvika förseningar och kostnadsöverskridanden.Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera och analysera problem inom inköpsprocessen och materialhanteringen i byggföretag. Frågeställningarna fokuserar på att förstå de bakomliggande problemen, identifiera utmaningar och optimera logistiken för att minska kostnaderna. Målet är att identifiera orsaker till ineffektivitet och föreslå lösningar för att minska slöseri och kostnader samt att bidra till forskning om hur inköpsprocesser och logistik kan optimeras. Studien fokuserar på mark-och anläggningsföretag för att möjliggöra jämförelser och en djupare förståelse. Upphandlingar och ekonomiska dokument inkluderas inte. De frågeställningar som undersöks är följande:- Vilka är de bakomliggande problemen med materialhantering och inköpsprocessen hos byggföretagen som leder till höga totalkostnader i projekt?- Hur kan utmaningar relaterade till materialhantering och inköpsprocessen inom byggindustrin identifieras för att minska de totala kostnaderna?- Hur kan logistiken i byggbranschen optimeras för att minska slöseri och förbättra materialhantering?Metoden som används för datainsamling är litteraturstudier och intervjuer. Intervjuerna är semistrukturerade och genomförs med experter inom deras fält. Alternativa metodval, såsom frågeenkäter, kunde ha använts för att nå fler deltagare, men intervjuer ansågs mer lämpliga för att få djupgående information.Sammanfattningsvis visar studien att offentliga byggprojekt ofta överskrider sina budgetar och tidsplaner på grund av ineffektiv materialhantering och bristande logi, Public construction projects, such as Förbifart Stockholm, often exceed their budgets and time plans. The project has increased their budget from 25 to 51,5 billion SEK and the time plan has been extended from 2026 to 2030. The construction projects logistics are challenged by the change of workplace, which affects the material and equipment management that can result in over 70 % of the costs. Effective material management is crucial to avoid delays and exceeded budgets.The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the problems within the purchasing process and material management in construction companies. The questions focus on understanding the underlying problems, identify the challenges and optimize the logistics to reduce the costs. The goal is to identify the reasons for inefficiency and propose solutions to reduce the waste and cost, and to contribute to the research of how the purchasing plans and logistics can be optimized. The study's main focus is construction companies in the groundwork industry. Procurements and economic documents are not included in the study. The questions that are investigated are the following:- What are the underlying problems with material handling and the purchasing process of construction companies that lead to high total costs in projects?- How can the challenges related to material handling and the purchasing process in the construction industry be identified to reduce total costs?- How can logistics in the construction industry be optimized to reduce waste and improve material handling?The methodology that is used for the data collection is literature studies and interviews. The interviews are semi structured and are carried out with experts in their fields. Alternative methods such as question forms could have been used to reach more participants, but interviews were ultimately seen as more appropriate for in depth information.In conclusion the study shows that public construction projects often override their budge

11. Emotionell anknytning och dess påverkan på köpbeteende : En kvalitativ studie om hur emotionell varumärkesanknytning påverkar konsumenters köpprocess och strävan efter självförverkligande

Author

Abstract

Utvecklingen av marknadsföringsstrategier inom mode över tid visar att dagens konsumenter önskar ett ökat engagemang från varumärken, samt en mer fördjupad anknytning. För att möta konsumenters efterfrågan om engagemang och fördjupad varumärkesanknytning så använder varumärken olika marknadsföringsstrategier. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur emotionell anknytning till klädvarumärken påverkar unga kvinnliga konsumenters köpbeteende. I studien har Maslows behovstrappa, Kellers brand equity modell, samt en modell för konsumenters köpbeslutsprocesser använts för att analysera resultatet. En tematisk analys har genomförts för att analysera och identifiera teman i de semistrukturerade intervjuerna som utförts med konsumenter. Resultaten från studien betonar den djupgående effekt som emotionell anknytning har på köpprocessen inom klädindustrin och utmanar till reflektion kring hur ekonomiska faktorer kan påverka processen. Dessutom kan det observeras att informanterna genom köp från varumärket strävar efter att identifiera sig med den identitet och livsstil som varumärket de känner emotionell anknytning till signalerar. Denna studie bidrar även till forskningen inom emotionell varumärkesanknynting och beteende kring konsumenters köpprocess genom ytterligare förståelse inom ämnet., The evolution of marketing strategies in fashion demonstrates that the consumers of today have an increased desire for engagement from brands and that they seek a deeper emotional attachment to brands. In order to meet the consumer demand for engagement and deeper brand connectedness, brands have to adjust their marketing strategies. The aim of this study is to investigate how emotional attachment to brands influences the purchasing behaviour of young female consumers. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Keller’s Equity Model and a model of consumer decision-making processes have been used to analyse the results. A thematic analysis was conducted to examine and identify different themes from the semi-structured interviews that were conducted with consumers. The findings of the study highlight the significant effect that emotional brand attachment has on the purchasing process of fashion related products and encourage consideration of how economic factors could influence the process. Additionally, it is observed that through purchasing from the brand the consumers feel emotional attachment to, consumers strive to identify with the identity and lifestyle that the brand they feel emotionally attached to signifies. This study contributes to research within the field of emotional brand attachment and consumer behaviour related to the purchasing process through further knowledge within the subject.

Abstract

The conceptual framework for our analysis is the approach to environmental psychology first introduced by different authors in 1974. Subsequently in 1982 this concept was applied to retail outlets so as to better understand the effect on consumers of atmospheric stimuli experienced in a physical store. Following the developing trend from traditional marketing to new online sales channels, various authors have sought to transfer and validate these theories with virtual outlets or e-stores, so as to validate them in a context of e-commerce. Our study thoroughly analyses and reviews the most widely accepted models in the study of the influence of sales atmospherics on consumer behavior in physical store environments, and the adaptation and application of such models to today’s omnichannel shopper behavior, where shopping environments combine physical sales settings with new digital sales atmospheres.

Abstract

To procure products and materials in the context of modern, convoluted supply chains, companies need to consider a variety of available options regarding trading partners, products, materials and services, as well as deal with changing circumstances. Therefore, they seek for solutions that enable them to increase their efficiency, improve the effectiveness of collaboration with trading partners, deal with unexpected events and make proactive decisions. To address these issues, this paper focuses on the purchasing process and proposes an approach that enhances decision making, leading to proactive actions/recommendations to ensure cost-effectiveness. It supports selection of partners, monitors events pertaining to the purchasing process and enables proactive cost processing for potential supplier/shipper reconsideration, order cancellation or continuation. To enable proactive cost handling, we adopt and use the framework 'detect – forecast – decide – act'. To support forecast and represent the causal relationship between events and supply chain actors, we use a Bayes Network. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of our proposed model, we develop a system and test it experimentally, through numerical simulation. Our results show that our proactive decision making method can lead to improved order efficiency, agility and cost management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Siemens Energy is a global company which is active in energy technology and offers different types of gas turbines and steam turbines among other types of services. This study was conducted at Siemens Energy in Finspång. The importance of the purchasing function within a company and its profitability has increased and it is thereby important for a company to take advantage of it. Siemens Energy strives to have a transparent supply chain that forms a competitive advantage and provides value along every step in order to create value for the company and its customers. To be able to provide a product to the customer, a project group is assigned at Siemens Energy consisting of different types of roles and areas of responsibility. Multiple functions are involved to manage a project from beginning to end. Budget, lead time and different types of specifications are determined at the beginning of a project and follow through the rest of the project. For big and complex flows, good communication between different functions is essential for information regarding, for example, deviations to reach out to the concerned parties. Siemens Energy describes that an overview of how different functions work with the information flow in the purchasing process from construction to goods receiving is missing and requests a flowchart and suggestions for improvements. Therefore, the aim of this study is to create a flowchart over the information flow and to identify and present suggestions for improvements. A theoretical model, Business Process Management, was used to structure the work in this study. The first step in the model is to create a flowchart of the current state regarding the information flow in the different functions. Interviews with 18 people in different roles were conducted to understand the current state. The second step in the model is to identify areas of improvement so that measures can be performed.

Activities which were considered non-value added activities could be categorized into different types of wastes according to the Lean philosophy in order to be addressed using time reduction theory. The third step in the model is to present a new map of the measured activities. Finally, the activities were analysed qualitatively to gain insight into whether the impact on time, cost and quality would be positive, negative, or unchanged. The results from the flowchart and the actions of the measured activities resulted in suggestions for improvements. Further, it was described which of the activities Siemens Energy should focus on improving to increase the quality of the information flow in the purchasing process and decrease cost and time spent. How the implementation should be conducted was not a part of this study which leaves room for further studies in the future that can be carried out at Siemens Energy.

Abstract

Starting with this chapter, we make a deep plunge in the product development process with a very practical approach, exploring methods and tools that may support development teams in their work. The coverage of the development process will be limited to the first phases, at least up to the point where general-purpose methods can be applied, irrespectively of the industry and of the technology that underlies products or services. The subsequent phases of product development, which focus on the detailed design of products and processes and on product industrialization, will therefore be left aside.

Abstract

An important prerequisite for improving business performance is the high efficiency of internal processes, including the purchasing process. In order to increase the performance efficiency of industry enterprises as the suppliers, it is necessary to know and understand not only the course of the purchasing process in the companies of direct customers, but also their way of evaluating the performance of the suppliers, the actual purchasing process and its position in the business performance evaluation system. The article presents the results of a qualitative research carried out in the purchasing departments of two food businesses. The aim of the research was to analyze the ways of performance assessment of purchasing process in relation to business performance evaluation system. The research outcomes imply that the performance assessment system implemented by the companies has shortcomings, so there are subsequently formulated recommendations for its improvements. The article contributes to the understanding the specifics of the performance assessment in the field and provides manufacturers with information to improve their performance as suppliers in relation to the selected segment of customers.
