  2. 1. Strategic and operational capabilities in steel production : Product variety and performance

    Author : Joakim Storck; Bengt Lindberg; Christer Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel production; system dynamics; product variety; production strategy; cost models; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Steel producers that employ niche market strategies are continuously seeking to reduce production cost while maintaining adiverse product mix. The business model is typically based onmarketing of high–strength special or stainless steels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Supporting long-term production development : Towards production platforms

    Author : Simon Boldt; Carin Rösiö; Gary Linnéusson; Lennart Malmsköld; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; production development; production platforms; long-term; perspective; changeability; integrated product and production development; manufacturing; produktionsutveckling; produktionsplattformar; långsiktigt perspektiv; förändringsbarhet; integrerad produkt och produktionsutveckling; tillverkning;

    Abstract : With shrinking product life cycles and increasing competitive pressure, the traditional way of developing production systems is becoming obsolete. A longer-term perspective that considers the stream of product realisation projects to be implemented in the production system over its lifetime is required. READ MORE

  5. 3. Managing Product Variety through Product Architecture

    Author : Tobias Holmqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product architecture; multiple product development; product dependences; product variants; product variety;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the management of product variety in manufacturing companies. Several researchers have identified companies increasing problems and managerial issues associated with managing product variety and they suggest ways of managing the product variety by changing the product architecture.

    Author : Bozena Guziana; Erik Dahlquist; Eva Thorin; Cecilia Mark-Herbert; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Environmental technology sector; Environmental goods and services; Clean technology; ‘Green’ business; ‘Green-green’ business; Production and product related environmental profile; miljöteknik sektor; miljöprodukter och miljötjänster; cleantech; ’gröna’ företag ’green’ business ; ’grön-gröna’ företag ’green-green’ business ; produktions- och produktrelaterad miljöprofil; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : In most business sectors environmental programs focus on direct, production-related environmental impacts. The design and development of products with reduced environmental impact is considered more difficult. The opposite applies in the environmental technology sector. READ MORE

  7. 5. Anthropometric diversity and consideration of human capabilities : Methods for virtual product and production development

    Author : Erik Brolin; Roland Örtengren; Dan Högberg; Lars Hanson; John Rasmussen; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics; Human Factors; Anthropometry; Multi-Dimensional; Diversity; Digital Human Modelling; Simulation; Visualisation; Workplace Design; Product Design; Accommodation; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

    Abstract : Contemporary product and production development is typically carried out with the support of computer tools where the design of products and workstations are originated and evaluated within virtual environments. Ergonomics addresses factors important to consider in the product and production development process to ensure a good fit between humans and the items being designed. READ MORE
