2. 1. Managing Interruptions in Manufacturing : Towards a Theoretical Framework for Interruptions in Manufacturing Assembly

   Author : Ari Kolbeinsson; Dan Högberg; Peter Thorvald; Jessica Lindblom; Steve Summerskill; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interruptions; Manufacturing; Mobile Devices; Cognition; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

   Abstract : The effect of interruptions from ICT systems on assembly workers in manufacturing is examined in this thesis, as is how the risks of errors, increases in assembly time, increased cognitive load and resultant stress can be mitigated, as well as ensuring that important new information is acted upon. To these ends, a literature study was conducted, followed by two studies using an experimental approach in an environment that simulated a manufacturing assembly situation, and used tasks designed to be representative of manufacturing assembly tasks.

4. 2. Towards Human Supervisory Control in Advanced Manufacturing Systems

   Author : Johan Stahre; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; human; CIM; case study; operator; FMS; supervisory control; method; manufacturing; model; cross-disciplinary;

   Abstract : This thesis is on the topic of Human Supervisory Control in Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS). Presently, these systems suffer from inferior reliability and low productivity, unless "nursed" by skilled operators. Operators controlling the AMS are approaching a work situation similar to that of operators in continuous process manufacturing. READ MORE

5. 3. Essays on Firm Turnover, Growth, and Investment Behavior in Ethiopian Manufacturing

   Author : Mulu G Gebreeyesus; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; firm turnover; productivity; firm growth; investment; adjustment cost; irreversibility; manufacturing; Africa; Ethiopia.;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses the dynamics and investment behavior of Ethiopian manufacturing firms in post-reform period using establishment level industrial census panel data from 1996 to 2003. Three related topics such as firm turnover and productivity differentials, determinants of firm growth, and the effect of adjustment cost and irreversibility on firm investment decisions are investigated empirically.

6. 4. On restart of automated manufacturing systems

   Author : Patrik Bergagård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Supervisory control theory; Error recovery; Manufacturing systems; Restart; Extended finite automata; Discrete event systems;

   Abstract : Highly automated manufacturing systems have gained industrial popularity for their ability to combine high product volumes with high product quality. The high cost of investment in combination with many linked manufacturing systems in a factory, requires that the production runs smoothly with high utilization of the resources and that stoppages are avoided.

7. 5. High Performance Manufacturing of Advanced Thin Plates ─ Forming of Titanium and Stainless Steel Materials

   Author : Per Gabrielson; Industriell Produktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; High performance manufacturing; test tools; sheet-metal forming; stainless steel; commercially pure titanium; process optimization; forming simulation; finite element analyses; acoustic emission; production performance analysis; cost models; manufacturing costs; sustainable production;

   Abstract : The manufacturing industry represents a highly important sector of the Swedish economy. The increasing demands placed on the quality and performance of products that are manufactured places increasing demands on the manufacturing processes involved. READ MORE
