  2. 16. Be lean to be resilient : Setting capabilities for turbulent times

    Author : Seyoum Eshetu Birkie; Matti Kaulio; Paolo Trucco; Jussi Heikkilä; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Resilience; lean production; synergy; supply chain disruption; dynamic capabilities; mixed method approach; uncertainties; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

    Abstract : Businesses globally are challenged to innovate their operations strategies and practices towards tighter delivery times, better quality and cheaper prices to remain profitable in addition to managing unpredictable circumstances well in today’s turbulent business environment. They often have to deal with the apparent paradox of advancing efficiency-fostering approaches such as lean production, and enhancing operational resilience against unanticipated disruptions.

  4. 17. Assembly processes and materials supply systems design

    Author : Christian Finnsgård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; packaging; materials exposure; Lean production; materials handling; materials supply; production system; assembly;

    Abstract : Lean production has over the last decades emerged as the most important paradigm for production, with the assembly processes in focus, including the objective to minimize non-value-adding work. Thus, much attention has been on the work of the assembly operator. READ MORE

  5. 18. On Remanufacturing Systems : Analysing and Managing Material Flows and Remanufacturing Processes

    Author : Johan Östlin; Mats Björkman; Staffan Bröte; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Remanufacturing; After Market; Product Recovery; Lean Production; Production Economics; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of remanufacturing is to retrieve a product’s inherent value when the product no longer fulfils the user’s desired needs. By taking advantage of this inherent value through different product recovery alternatives, there is a potential for both economically and environmental advantageous recovery of products. READ MORE

  6. 19. Materials exposure: The interface between materials supply and assembly

    Author : Christian Finnsgård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; packaging; production systems; lean production; materials supply; materials handling; Materials exposure; assembly;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the supply of components to assembly in production sys- tems, and introduces materials exposure as the interface between materials sup- ply systems and assembly systems. The purpose of the thesis is to explain how materials exposure influences the performance of materials supply systems and assembly systems. READ MORE

  7. 20. Sequences in the process of adopting lean production

    Author : Pär Åhlström; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Does a manufacturing company have to concentrate on a few competitive priorities or can it excel at everything it does? The traditional notion of trade-offs between manufacturing capabilities has recently come under question. Based on the manufacturing management practices of certain Japanese companies, or lean production, it has been proposed that manufacturing capabilities are built cumulatively. READ MORE
