Sammanfattning
This project focuses on the challenges and opportunities in the car industry’s shift
towards electrification and evolving mobility behaviors. It underscores the significance
of efficient processes, examining the case of Volvo Cars and the need to rectify
inefficiencies in the administrative process of creating assembly instructions.
The project ensures research quality by employing a methodology involving participant
selection through snowball sampling and recommendations, conducting a
workshop to gather efficiency improvement suggestions, and employing data analysis
techniques like value stream mapping, coding, thematic analysis, and stakeholder
analysis. Drawing on a theoretical framework, it offers insights into enhancing efficiency
in administration processes, optimizing process flows, managing product
lifecycles, and embracing digital transformation.
The findings shed light on substantial inefficiencies in the current assembly instruction
process, encompassing challenges in information search, system integration,
waiting times, incorrect processes, overproduction, production of faulty services,
and underutilized creativity. The project proposes improvements such as streamlined
information transfer, enhanced system integration, standardized processes, and
cross-functional collaboration to address these inefficiencies and enhance lean administration.
The discussion highlights the thesis research quality and ethical considerations
of the procedure and the thesis impact. It connects back to the research
questions, discussing and analyzing the result with a Lean administration perspective
and suggesting remedies for the identified inefficiencies.
As a result of its efforts, the project successfully identifies inefficiencies in the administrative
processes of creating assembly instructions and develops improvement
suggestions. The thesis result can be used to enhance productivity and quality assurance
in the case company, serve as an eye opener to other organizations, and the
approach can be applied in similar scenarios. However, further research is necessary
to gain deeper insights into administrative inefficiencies across various industries,
allowing the development of targeted strategies to enhance efficiency in both the
public and private sectors.
