  2. 1. On Manufacturing Strategies : Competing Through Inter-Organizational Collaboration

    Author : Mats Winroth; Terje Kristoffer Lien; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Manufacturing Strategies; collaborative settings; manufacturing systems; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences; Produktion och arbetsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Globalization increases the competition among small and medium sized companies. It is possible for their customers, often large systems integrators, to choose suppliers from all around the world. Swedish suppliers are often not competitive only regarding cost consequently simple work tasks are more and more located in low wage countries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Congruence between product strategy and manufacturing strategy : a framework for collaborative development

    Author : Niklas Tjärnberg; Peter Gröndahl; Christer Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik;

    Abstract : Today’s industries face an increasing global competition. Decision makers have to deal with different kinds of uncertainty, a complex business ecosystem, a high pace of change, and an unforgiving market when less than best decisions are made. One, among many others, approach that can lead to these better decisions is to have a strategy. READ MORE

  5. 3. Toward a Sustainable Human-Robot Collaborative Production Environment

    Author : Abdullah Alhusin Alkhdur; Lihui Wang; Gunnar Bolmsjö; KTH; []
    Keywords : vision sensor; 3D image processing; collision detection; safety; robot; kinematics; dynamics; collaborative assembly; energy consumption; optimisation; manufacturing; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : This PhD study aimed to address the sustainability issues of the robotic systems from the environmental and social aspects. During the research, three approaches were developed: the first one an online programming-free model-driven system that utilises web-based distributed human-robot collaboration architecture to perform distant assembly operations.

  6. 4. Manufacturing system data management and development : towards a STEP compliant reference model for manufacturing

    Author : Mattias Larsson; Torsten Kjellberg; Anders Dannstedt; KTH; []
    Keywords : Information Management; Industrial Engineering; Collaborative Engineering;

    Abstract : Collaborative engineering assumes a common understanding of the domain. To make joint decisions the engineers must have a common language to start from. Standards such as STEP may be used to communicate engineering data but to speak about information integration and interoperability there must be ways to expose and share concepts as well. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of collaborative green lean production systems

    Author : Martin Kurdve; Wiktorsson Magnus; Thomas Lindhqvist; Jens von Axelson; Erik Sundin; Mälardalens högskola; []
