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. Supply Chain Quality Management : Exploring performance of manufacturing organizations

   Author : Aron Chibba; Rickard Garvare; Mattias Elg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology Management;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses the issue of quality performance in supply chains in the manufacturers’context. Research shows that the management and performance of supply chains play a major rolein gaining competitive advantage, especially in times of decreasing international trade barriers andquickly evolving information technology.

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. Using life cycle assessment to support the development of electrified road vehicles. Component data models, methodology recommendations and technology advice for minimizing environmental impact

   Author : Anders Nordelöf; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; inverter; magnet; LCI; electrical machine; stepwise improvements; electric vehicle; LCA; inventory data; motor; critical review; scalable model;

   Abstract : The anthropogenic pressure on the Earth system already overshoots safe limits for climate change, so there is an urgent need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by transportation. Electric propulsion technology is a promising solution that can decouple fossil fuel use from road vehicle traffic. READ MORE
