The requirements and needs of global data usage in product lifecycle management

This study was done for ABB Ltd. Motors and Generators business unit in Helsinki. In this study, global data movement in large businesses is examined from a product data management (PDM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) point-of-view. The purpose of this study was to understand and map out how a large global business handles its data in a multiple site structure and how it can be applied in practice. This was done by doing an empirical interview study on five different global businesses with design locations in multiple countries. Their master data management (MDM) solutions were inspected and analyzed to understand which solution would best benefit a large global architecture with many design locations. One working solution is a transactional hub which negates the effects of multisite transfers and reduces lead times. Also, the requirements and limitations of the current MDM architecture were analyzed and possible reform ideas given.  

“Why share in uncertain conditions?” Factors of individual level knowledge sharing in offshoring cases

The objective of this Master’s Thesis was to research factors influencing and enhancing individual level knowledge sharing in offshore projects which often involve uncertainty of the knowledge provider’s own future. The purpose was to understand why individuals are willing to share their knowledge under these kinds of circumstances. In addition the goal was to identify obstacles to interpersonal knowledge sharing in order to understand how to mitigate their influence. The research was conducted as a qualitative multiple case study in a global IT company, and the data was gathered using semi-structured personal theme interviews within two different offshore projects. In order to a gain a wider perspective on the matter, some management representatives were interviewed as well. Data was analysed with the inductive content analysis method. Results of the study indicate that individuals are willing to share their knowledge despite of uncertainty if they are motivated, if they are provided with opportunities to do so, and if they have skills, competence and experience to share their knowledge. A strong knowledge sharing culture in the organization or team also works as a strong incentive for individual level knowledge sharing. The findings suggest that even under uncertain conditions it is possible to encourage people to share their knowledge if uncertainty can be decreased to a bearable level, a robust and personal connection and relationship between the knowledge provider and acquirer can be created and suitable opportunities for knowledge sharing are provided. In addition, based on the results the support and commitment of management and HR in addition to favourable environmental circumstances play an essential role in building a bridge between the knowledge provider and acquirer in order to create a virtual environment and space for knowledge sharing: Ba.

Ruuviliitosten lujuustarkastelu voimansiirtolinjoissa

Voimansiirtolinjojen ristikkopylväiden rakentamisessa on tyypillisesti käytetty osittaiskierteisiä ruuveja, mutta työmaatyöskentelyä helpottaisi siirtyminen täyskierteisten ruuvien käyttöön. Tämä mm. vähentäisi käytettävien ruuvinimikkeiden määrää. Tämän diplomityön tarkoituksena on selvittää laskemalla ja Ftower -laskentaohjelmaa käyttämällä, onko siirtyminen täyskierteisten ruuvien käyttöön mahdollista. Tarkastelua suoritetaan lisäksi myös FEM -analyysilla. Lisäksi tarkastellaan myös muita voimansiirtolinjojen ruuviliitoksiin liittyviä ongelmia, ja pyritään löytämään näihin ratkaisuehdotuksia.
