    Abstract : Medical devices play a major role in diagnosis and therapeutics in the healthcare systems. The basic features of medical devices concern safety and efficient clinical performance. Nowadays, usability evaluation is an important part of the design process of medical devices. READ MORE

  5. 3. On Remanufacturing Systems : Analysing and Managing Material Flows and Remanufacturing Processes

    Author : Johan Östlin; Mats Björkman; Staffan Bröte; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Remanufacturing; After Market; Product Recovery; Lean Production; Production Economics; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of remanufacturing is to retrieve a product’s inherent value when the product no longer fulfils the user’s desired needs. By taking advantage of this inherent value through different product recovery alternatives, there is a potential for both economically and environmental advantageous recovery of products. READ MORE

  6. 4. Challenges in Global Multi-Variant Serial Production - A Study of Manufacturing Engineering Processes

    Author : Pierre Johansson; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product and production complexity; product variety; product and process standardization; Global production networks;

    Abstract : Global manufacturing companies have hard times to manage their global production networks as dispersion in their networks increases. Such dispersion is caused by the increasing level of product variety and more parameters to control as the networks grow. Handling product variety becomes more difficult as products become more complex and integrated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Knowledge integration with customers in collaborative product development project
