At the same time the industry is showing alow awareness of logistics which has to increase in order to improve the industry in thesekind of questions. Projects located in the inner city have high demands on the logistic andthe handling of material due to the so often limited space for storages of the material. Dueto this the purpose of this report is true a case, study and analyze what kind of factors thereis to take into consideration during the materials way from the supplier to the workstationin a project located in the inner city. The data for the report was collected with the help of acase study, and in three different ways. Partly through observations, but mostly with thehelp of surveys and interviews with workers and managers. The case study was made atthe project “Barometern 8” located in the inner city of Halmstad, Sweden. The project hasfrom the very beginning struggled with the lack of areas to store material due of thecramped construction site. Problems that were observed were both related to thedeliveries from the distributers and the difficulties to access the construction site. Theconclusions that were made from this report are that the managers have to put demandson the distributers as well as communicate the conditions of the receptions. It´s alsoimportant to make sure that the work site is as easy as possible to be accessed bydistributers.
