  2. 1. Ergonomics Methods and Work Procedures in Car Manufacturing for Improvement of Quality, Productivity and Health at Work

    Author : Ann-Christine Falck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cost-benefit; ergonomics; manufacturing; productivity; risk assessment; quality;

    Abstract : Many studies have concluded that there are great human and economic gains in finding ergonomically sound solutions as early as possible in product and production development. Hence, the objective of the research presented in this thesis was to evaluate methods for improved ergonomics assessment in early phases of product and production development and in production.

  4. 2. On Brownfield Layout Planning

    Author : Daniel Nåfors; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; factory layout planning; Production systems; digitalisation; Industry 4.0; decision support; manufacturing systems;

    Abstract : As manufacturing companies strive to increase productivity and decrease waste, to stay competitive in an increasingly global and digitalised context, their production system must improve. Improvements to production systems can be achieved in many ways, including increased levels of automation, improved product and process flows and improved scheduling. READ MORE

  5. 3. Supporting Collaborative Work through ICT : How End-users Think of and Adopt Integrated HealthInformation Systems

    Author : Bahlol Rahimi; Vivian Vimarlund; Toomas Timpka; Andre Kushniruk; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Health Information Systems (HISs) are implemented to support individuals,organizations, and society, making work processes integrated andcontributing to increase service quality and patient safety. However, theoutcomes of many HIS implementations in both primary care and hospitalsettings have either not met yet all the expectations decision-makersidentified or have failed in their implementation.

  6. 4. Error Handling in Spoken Dialogue Systems : Managing Uncertainty, Grounding and Miscommunication

    Author : Gabriel Skantze; Rolf Carlson; Alexander Rudnicky; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; speech communications; linguistics; Language technology; Språkteknologi;

    Abstract : Due to the large variability in the speech signal, the speech recognition process constitutes the major source of errors in most spoken dialogue systems. A spoken dialogue system can never know for certain what the user is saying, it can only make hypotheses. READ MORE

  7. 5. Probabilistic design for evaluation of indoor environment

    Author : Katarina Ljungquist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : In recent years indoor environment and indoor air quality has been subjected to extensive worldwide research efforts. Still, at present there are a lack of methods for prediction of risks and consequences for any defined damage to occur, similar to the probabilistic methods used in modern design codes for structures and buildings.
