1. Uncertainty Management for Automated Diagnostics of Production Machinery
Abstract : Neither production machinery, nor production systems will ever become completely describable or predictable. This results in the continuous need for monitoring and diagnostics of such systems in order to manage related uncertainties. READ MORE

2. Automated Bottleneck Analysis of Production Systems : Increasing the applicability of simulation-based multi-objective optimization for bottleneck analysis within industry
Abstract : Manufacturing companies constantly need to explore new management strategies and new methods to increase the efficiency of their production systems and retain their competitiveness. It is of paramount importance to develop new bottleneck analysis methods that can identify the factors that impede the overall performance of their productionsystems so that the optimal improvement actions can be performed.

3. Levels of Automation in Production Systems
Abstract : Although automation is often seen as an efficient way to achieve cost-efficient production and to relieve humans from heavy or dangerous tasks, it also has its drawbacks. Earlier research has shown that increasing levels of automation in unforeseen production situations can be related to production disturbances. READ MORE

4. Constructive cooperative coevolution for optimising interacting production stations
Abstract : Engineering problems have characteristics such as a large number of variables, non-linear, computationally expensive, complex and black-box (i.e. unknown internal structure). These characteristics prompt difficulties for existing optimisation techniques. READ MORE

5. Learning in production systems : a study of operator work in highly automated process and manufacturing industry
Abstract : The aim of this monograph is to study the work of operators with regard to the conditions of developmental on-the-job learning. This objective can be further described in the following questions: (1) What characterizes the conditions of developmental on-the-job learning for operators in highly automated industry? (2) How are the conditions realized of developmental on-the-job learning? (3) What is the importance of vocational education, personnel training and on-the-job learning as regards their effects on the operators' vocational competence?Based on activity theory and action theory we have chosen to define learning as relatively lasting changes in the competence of an individual as a result of the individual's participation in an activity.
