2. 1. Contributions to the Use of Statistical Methods for Improving Continuous Production

   Author : Francesca Capaci; Erik Vanhatalo; Bjarne Bergquist; Murat Kulahci; Johan Carlson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process industry; Continuous process; Statistical process control; Design of experiments; Process improvements; Simulation tool; Engineering process control; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology Management;

   Abstract : Complexity of production processes, high computing capabilities, and massive datasets characterize today’s manufacturing environments, such as those of continuous andbatch production industries. Continuous production has spread gradually acrossdifferent industries, covering a significant part of today’s production. READ MORE

4. 2. Quality and Ergonomics : towards successful integration

   Author : Jan R.C. Axelsson; Pascale Carayon; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The understanding and practice of ergonomics, built on the knowledge of human characteristics, abilities and needs, plays a fundamental role in satisfying people - whether they are labelled customers, users or workers. In this context ergonomics and quality can be regarded as overall approaches, as philosophies taking account of people in the way things are designed and organised. READ MORE

5. 3. Lean in the Public Sector : Possibilities and Limitations

   Author : Erik Drotz; Bozena Poksinska; Ingela Bäckström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The demands on efficiency and quality in the public sector have increased over the past few years, which have raised the need for strategies on how the public sector can be improved (Denhardt and Denhardt, 2000). Consequently, the concept of Lean production, or just Lean, have become increasingly spread, especially in health care, but also in government agencies, police, military and social services.

6. 4. JOINING SEQUENCE ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVED GEOMETRICAL QUALITY

   Author : Roham Sadeghi Tabar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Efficiency; Optimization; Sequencing; Geometrical Quality; Non-Rigid Variation Simulation; Joining;

   Abstract : Disturbances in the manufacturing and assembly processes cause geometrical variation from the ideal geometry. This variation eventually results in functional and aesthetic problems in the final product. Being able to control the disturbances is the desire of the manufacturing industry. READ MORE

7. 5. Techniques to Improve Energy Efficiency on Heterogeneous Multiprocessors under Timing and Quality Constraints

   Author : Muhammad Waqar Azhar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thread throttling; Energy Efficiency; Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling DVFS ; Quality of Service; Heterogeneous multiprocessor; Soft real time systems.; Resource management; Core migration;

   Abstract : Traditionally, applications are executed without the notion of a computational deadline and often use all available system resources, which leads to higher energy consumption. User specification of Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, in terms of completion time and solution quality, opens up for allocation of just enough resources to an application to finish just in time and thereby save energy.
