4. 2. Reuse of construction materials : Environmental performance and assessment methodology

   Author : Liselott Roth; Mats Eklund; Helge Brattebø; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Environment; societal industrial ecology SIE ; reuse of construction materials; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Reuse is a measure for resource-saving materials and energy use, which is stressed in the concept of kretsloppsanpassning, or societal industrial ecology (SIE), as it will be termed in this thesis. Reuse is here used as a general term for any kind of reuse and divided into recirculation, upgrading and cascading, according to the degradation of the inner material structure. READ MORE

5. 3. The Concept of Mobile Manufacturing

   Author : Carin Stillström; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mobility; flexibility; changeability; manufacturing system; production system; Industrial organisation; administration and economics; Industriell organisation; administration och ekonomi; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences; Produktion och arbetsvetenskap;

   Abstract : There is a need for a manufacturing concept that is characterized by ease in changing between manufacturing places, ease in producing wherever it is convenient for the moment, ease in collaborating with different partners, and reconfigurability and reuse of manufacturing capacity, while at the same time keeping control of the own capabilities. The objective of this thesis is to investigate and describe the concept of mobile manufacturing in order to find new ways of competing for the manufacturing industry. READ MORE

6. 4. The Collaborative Challenge of Product Development : Exploring Sustainable Work Systems Through Critical Incidents in R&D Alliances

   Author : Lars Uppvall; Matti Kaulio; Pär Åhlström; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; R D Alliances; product development; sustainable work systems; critical incident technique; operational work; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to empirically study challenges and opportunities in the operational work in contract-based R&D alliances in order to increase the understanding of this type of work system and explore how these work systems could be sustainable. Based on the concept of sustainable work systems, this thesis addresses issues of how work in R&D alliance should support both the competitiveness of the firm as well as regeneration of human resources.
