  2. 6. Data-driven throughput bottleneck analysis in production systems

    Author : Mukund Subramaniyan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; maintenance; machine learning; data-driven; manufacturing; manufacturing system; production system; artificial intelligence; Throughput bottlenecks;

    Abstract : Production systems and production management are getting smart. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting digital solutions to monitor and manage production systems. By adopting digital solutions, it has become possible for manufacturing companies to collect huge volumes of widely varying production system data. READ MORE

  4. 7. Defining Gaps in Lean : Increasing the ability to solve problems in a production system

    Author : Christer Osterman; Anders Fundin; Jonas A Ingvaldsen; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Innovation and Design; innovation och design;

    Abstract : In recent decades, Lean has grown in popularity and has spread around the world. Despite its popularity, many companies and organizations report difficulties, and the success rate is low. Lean is presented as a simple, holistic concept. Lean has been studied by many researchers from different perspectives. READ MORE

  5. 8. Production Ergonomics: Identifying and managing risk in the design of high performance work systems

    Author : Patrick Neumann; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reumatologi; Organizational science; Organisationsteori; Production technology; Produktionsteknik; muskelsystem; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; muscle system; Skeleton; Risk Assessment; Manufacturing; Musculoskeletal disorders; Human Factors; Organisational Development; Production System Design; Strategy;

    Abstract : Poor ergonomics in production systems can compromise performance and cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which pose a huge cost to society, companies, and afflicted individuals. This thesis presents a research trajectory through the problem space by: 1) Identifying and quantifying workplace risk factors for MSDs, 2) Identifying how these risks may relate to production strategies, and 3) Developing an approach to integrating ergonomics into a companies’ regular development work.

  6. 9. Levels of Automation in Production Systems

    Author : Jörgen Frohm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation; task allocation; measurement; levels of automation; production;

    Abstract : Although automation is often seen as an efficient way to achieve cost-efficient production and to relieve humans from heavy or dangerous tasks, it also has its drawbacks. Earlier research has shown that increasing levels of automation in unforeseen production situations can be related to production disturbances. READ MORE

  7. 10. Ergonomics at Home : Design for Safe Living and Home Care

    Author : Jenny Hjalmarson; Tore Johan Larsson; Stefan Lundberg; Lars Nyberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics; aging; work posture; four-wheeled walker; home care worker; living at home; accessibility;

    Abstract : The home should represent safety and security for the person who lives there, and this is an important factor for independence and autonomy in very old age. With aging populations, the needs for long-term care increase, care provided by spouses and/or from the growing home care sector. Injuries among these groups are common. READ MORE
