2. 1. The green engineer as an enabler of life-cycle management in manufacturing: models and practices

   Author : Birger Löfgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; discrete-event simulation; life-cycle assessment; operation management; decision making; practice studies; environmental management;

   Abstract : The last 20 years corporate environmental management has developed from pollution control and emission prevention, to include a greater responsibility for indirect environmental issues along the whole product life cycle. This thesis aims at providing a better understanding of how such environmental life-cycle management can be applied on manufacturing processes. READ MORE

4. 2. 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

5. 3. Demystifying the effectiveness in design of production systems - Investigating the coupling between acquisition and maintenance of equipment

   Author : Malin Hane Hagström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; early equipment management; maintenance management; engineering knowledge management; manufacturing engineering; equipment acquisition; production system design;

   Abstract : The purpose of the design of production systems is to create systems that perform according to set targets. With the paradigm shift towards electrification and digitalisation, manufacturing engineers in the heavy truck powertrain industry face several unexplored challenges; in the products for which they are designing production, in the equipment they are purchasing to realise production systems, and finally, in the digitalisation impact on engineering processes.

6. 4. Analysis of Work Methods in Manufacturing Systems Engineering

   Author : Jonas Nelson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; co-operation; case study; analysis; work method; systems engineering process;

   Abstract : Globalisation leading to increased lead-time pressure within engineering departments put demands on efficient human work processes. The trend is towards co-located, cross-functional teams, but also towards geographically dispersed organisations, and collaboration among specialists over not only departmental boundaries, but also across company boundaries.
