  2. 1. In-plant materials supply: Supporting the choice between kitting and continuous supply

    Author : Robin Hanson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kitting; in-plant materials supply; continuous supply; materials feeding principles;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the two materials feeding principles of “kitting” and “continuous supply” within in-plant materials supply in mass customised assembly. With the principle of kitting, parts are delivered and presented to the assembly operations in pre-sorted kits, with each kit containing parts for one assembly object. READ MORE

  4. 2. Materials Handling in Production Systems: Design and Performance of Kit Preparation

    Author : Patrik Fager; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; kitting; kit preparation; order picking; materials supply systems;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on processes for kit preparation, which are applied with the materials supply principle of kitting in production systems for mixed-model assembly. With kitting, assembly processes are supplied with portions of pre-sorted components, and each portion makes up a kit that holds the components needed for one assembly object at one or several assembly processes.

  5. 3. On the link between materials preparation design and performance

    Author : Patrik Fager; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Order picking; Production systems; Materials kitting; Assembly industry; Part sequencing; Information systems;

    Abstract : Materials preparation is used in materials supply systems to arrange materials in accordance with the requirements from the assembly. Kitting and sequence based materials supply are two examples of when materials preparation is used in industry, where different part variants are collected to packages intended for one or multiple assembly objects.

  6. 4. Consolidation in Humanitarian Logistics

    Author : Alain Vaillancourt; Hanken School of Economics; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; supply chain; humanitarian logistics; consolidation; kitting; procurement;

    Abstract : Major disasters, conflicts and poverty afflict many millions of people around the world. To address the needs of these people, humanitarian organizations deploy a vast array of resources supported by material, financial and information flows. READ MORE

  7. 5. Materials Supply and Product Descriptions for Assembly Systems - Design and Operation

    Author : Lars Medbo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; long cycle time work; product structure; manual assembly; parallel product flow; assembly systems design; materials kit;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses and reports on assembly systems design, concerning manual assembly of complex products involving production with requirement for flexibility in production volumes and product variants. The research is based on more than a decade of work within the Swedish automotive industry focusing on parallel product flows and long cycle time assembly work. READ MORE
