  2. 21. Process and properties of continuous fibers based on cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibers

    Author : Saleh Hooshmand; Tekla Tammelin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Abstract : In recent years, composites made from natural fibers based on cellulose have received increasing attention since they have a low environmental impact and good mechanical properties. However, these fibers are short and discontinuous and the conventional spinning techniques used for these fibers results in continuous yarns with mechanical properties considerably lower than that of the single fibers.

  4. 22. Exploring a project-based organization through the eyes of continuous improvement and learning

    Author : Erik Sundqvist; Mattias Jacobsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology Management;

    Abstract : The concepts of continuous improvement (CI) and learning are advocated in project management (PM) literature and standards, as suitable concepts to adopt when managing projects. CI can be described as philosophy in which all members of an organization work together to achieve sustained and incremental improvements. READ MORE

  5. 23. Acting creatively for enhanced performance : Challenges for Swedish manufacturers in an age of outsourcing

    Author : Mandar Dabhilkar; Jan Forslin; Pär Åhlström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Balanced Scorecard; continuous improvement behaviours; lean manufacturing; outsourcing manufacturing; plant performance; Swedish engineering industry; team-based work organisation; shop-floor work.; Work sciences and ergonomics; Arbetsvetenskap och ergonomi;

    Abstract : This dissertation aims to contribute to the discourse on the future of manufacturing in Sweden. It is argued that the real threat does not come from lower wages in Eastern Europe and Asia. Rather it comes from an inability to make the most of existing manufacturing systems. READ MORE

  6. 24. Efficiency of the trackwork scheduling process in Sweden

    Author : Daria Ivina; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railways; Maintenance management; Trackwork scheduling; Project Uncertainties; Lean; Efficiency;

    Abstract : Efficient scheduling is vital for railway maintenance, which is increasingly challenged by rising train traffic and infrastructure wear. Trackwork often necessitates the reduction of train speeds and the partial or complete closure of tracks. READ MORE

  7. 25. On the continuous inter-group interaction speed improvement in large-scale agile software development for embedded software

    Author : Antonio Martini; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : An open issue in industry is how to scale-up Agile Software Development in large companies developing embedded systems. Intra-team interaction is well supported by established Agile practices, while how to handle the feedback for the Agile team from other teams and other parts of the organization is still unexplored.
