Identifiering av brister i Informationsöverföring mellan design och inköpsavdelning : En Fallstudie på Valmets nya kundutvecklingsprojekt

Sammanfattning: Companies need to streamline their project management today more than ever because of the competition that is constantly getting bigger and tougher on the market. Customers are getting more and more companies to choose from for their purposes. Through streamlining project management and information transfer, companies can increase their competitiveness and achieve business goals more and more clearly by reducing their project failures.This has led to the purpose of this study which was to identify shortcomings in the transfer of information between design and procurement. By identifying these shortcomings, Swedish industrial companies can streamline their processes between design and the procurement department to minimize risks in future projects. By using similar project processes in Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) which is a common project form for large and complex projects for industrial companies in Sweden. These identified shortcomings can be effectively sedated because these problems arose not only in terms of design and procurenment but have an impact on the entire project.Through a deeper investigation of theories about project-based concepts and through interviews with relevant people within Valmet, shortcomings will be identified and analyzed to review efficiency opportunities. The methods must be able to give similar companies the opportunity to streamline similar processes within EPC projects.The data collection was analyzed with thematic analysis and together with the theory to identify problems that arose in the information transfer.The result showed that problems arose between design and procurement were due in large part to other factors such as lack of time and lack of resources that are common in tough procurementsdeals. The empirical data from the respondents showed that there was a chain reaction due to lack of time and lack of resources which led to other common project management problems within the EPC.
