  2. 1. Operationalization of lean thinking through value stream mapping with simulation and FLOW

    Author : Nauman bin Ali; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Value stream mapping; Lean; simulation; information flow modeling; case study;

    Abstract : Background: The continued success of Lean thinking beyond manufacturing has led to an increasing interest to utilize it in software engineering (SE). Value Stream Mapping (VSM) had a pivotal role in the operationalization of Lean thinking. However, this has not been recognized in SE adaptations of Lean. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. 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. 4. Implementing Lean and Agile Software Development in Industry

    Author : Kai Petersen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: The software market is becoming more dynamic which can be seen in frequently changing customer needs. Hence, software companies need to be able to quickly respond to these changes. For software companies this means that they have to become agile with the objective of developing features with very short lead-time and of high quality. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sustainable Manufacturing through Material Efficiency Management

    Author : Sasha Shahbazi; Magnus Wiktorsson; Peter Ball; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : Material efficiency contributes to reduced industrial waste volumes, reduced extraction and consumption of virgin raw materials, increased waste segregation, decreased energy demand, and reduced carbon emissions, thereby generally mitigating the environmental impact of the manufacturing industry. However, the area of material efficiency in manufacturing is under-researched, and related knowledge is limited particularly at individual manufacturing sites and lower levels. READ MORE
