1. Managing Demand Variability by Distinguishing between Internal and External Variability : Investigating the Requirements for Managing Demand through Demand Shaping in B2B Companies
Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.)Sammanfattning : Due to the increasingly uncertain environments that global supply chains operate within, both due to component shortages and other types of challenges, the possibility of managing demand variability and balancing it with supply capabilities is getting more challenging. The primary way to deal with these fluctuations in demand is by building flexibility in the supply chain to meet the variations that occur and keep the customers satisfied. LÄS MER
2. The assessment of ecosystem services provided by forest edge effects on fields in a fragmented Swedish agricultural landscape : a methodological framework
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologySammanfattning : Agricultural expansion, prompted by increasing global food demand, has fragmented, simplified, and homogenized the landscape in the last decades. The resilience and sustainability of croplands are at stake, resulting in a hight vulnerability to climate change, and having major impacts on environmental protection, biodiversity preservation and food security.

3. Food waste reduction in Swedish food retail : Understanding barriers and incentives
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : In Sweden, the retail sector is responsible for 8% of the total supply chain waste. Although the number is relatively small, the retail sector is of key importance for food waste minimization since retail stores collect large amounts of food and connect with consumers and producers in a limited, clearly defined number of places.

4. Innovative agricultural intensification to cope with demographic and climatic changes for subsistence producers : a case study of Sandfly Island, Solomon Islands
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentSammanfattning : This research aims to study the dynamics of agricultural intensification amongst the small island community of Sandfly Island, Solomon Islands, and to observe the spreading of new agricultural practices of intensification that can help mitigate the pressures of climate change on the one side; and on the other side of a growing food demand from a growing population. The intention is to describe the variety of agricultural practices and the variation of production parameters such as fallow length, length of cropping period, number of plots in agricultural rotation and size of plots as to assess the state of agricultural intensification and to find what are the environmental constraints to production.

5. Monitoring inventory pressure in a FastMoving Consumer Goods system
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : Issues relating to inventory capacity resulting from high fill rates (inventory pressure) have been identified as a major problem for growing Fast-Moving Consumer Goods firms. The implications of these capacity problems include increased costs of working capital and cost-inefficient rental of external storage space. LÄS MER
