  2. 6. Supply chain visibility in the manufacturing industry: conditions and realisation

    Author : Ravi Kalaiarasan; Magnus Wiktorsson; Jannicke Baalsrud Hauge; Carl Wänström; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; supply chains; supply chain visibility; technologies; supply chain management; försörjningskedjor; synlighet i försörjningskedjor; teknologier; supply chain management; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : Supply chain visibility (SCV) has been gaining attention as a key for supply chainperformance. The key characteristics of SCV are information accessibility, accuracy,timeliness, completeness and usage, all of which aid in the enhancement ofoperational and strategic supply chain activities.

  4. 7. Chemical risk information in product chains: The cases of paint and textile

    Author : Kristin Fransson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supply chains; paint; textile; Chemical risk information; product chains; REACH;

    Abstract : Chemicals are present in or have been used for production of a large number of products available for private consumers. There are many benefits and useful applications of chemicals, but risks and negative side-effects shall not be overlooked. READ MORE

  5. 8. The Golden Fleece of the Cape : Capitalist expansion and labour relations in the periphery of transnational wool production, c. 1860–1950

    Author : Fredrik Lilja; Jan Lindegren; Jimmy Engren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; capitalist expansion; transnational production; commodity chains; accumulation of capital; labour relations; shepherds; wool farming; fencing; environment; generational division of labour; gendered division of labour; imperialism; capitalism; British Empire; Rosa Luxemburg; South Africa; the Cape; eastern Cape.; Historia; History;

    Abstract : This thesis is about the organisation, character and change of labour relations in expanding capitalist wool farming in the Cape between 1860 and 1950. It is an attempt to analyse labour in wool farming within a transnational framework, based on an expansion of capital from core to periphery of the capitalist world-economy. READ MORE

  6. 9. Strategies for demand-driven supply chains : A decoupling thinking perspective

    Author : Fredrik Tiedemann; Joakim Wikner; Eva Johansson; Jenny Bäckstrand; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; demand driven; decoupling points; decoupling thinking; lead time; supply chain management; operations management; market segmentation; leagility; mass customization; supply chain visibility; postponement; financial performance; efterfrågedrivet; frikopplingspunkter; frikopplingstänkandet; ledtid; logistik; verksamhetsledning; segmentering; leagility; kundanpassning; transparens; senareläggning; räntabilitet;

    Abstract : In environments where customer requirements are constantly changing, such as for demand-driven manufacturing companies, the competition involves the ability to act and adapt to customer needs, sometimes even based on commitment from actual customer orders. In this context it is perhaps even more challenging to balance supply and demand. READ MORE

  7. 10. On Reduction of Production Disturbances in Manufacturing Systems Based on Discrete-Event Simulation

    Author : Arne Ingemansson; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik; Production technology; Produktionsteknik; control engineering; robotics; Automation; manufacturing system; Discrete-event simulation DES ; production disturbance reduction;

    Abstract : Improved efficiency in manufacturing systems to achieve increased output and thus reduced production disturbances is a vital area. DES (Discrete-Event Simulation) can visualize and study the dynamic issues related to total efficiency in manufacturing systems. A methodology for production disturbance reduction is presented.
