  2. 1. Pilot Production and Manufacturing Start-up in the Automotive Industry. Principles for Improved Performance

    Author : Henrik Almgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; disturbance control; performance; verification; manufacturing start-up; learning; pilot production; Swedish automotive industry; product and production preparation;

    Abstract : The dissertation is based on experiences from Volvo Car Corporation and examines pilot production and manufacturing start-up, processes that are here combined under the rubric final verification of product and production system. The purpose of this dissertation is to study pilot production and manufacturing start-up in order, first, to identify and analyze factors affecting final verification performance and, secondly, to develop general principles for how final verification performance can be improved.

  4. 2. Production Disturbance Management - The role of technology and managerial approaches in creating resilient production systems

    Author : Adriana Ito; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; resilient systems; production disturbance; managerial approach; Industry 4.0; technology; management;

    Abstract : We live in a time that makes it clear the need of creating resilient production systems. To do so, it is necessary to efficiently and effectively manage production disturbances. Nevertheless, manufacturing companies have a very hard time thriving in this context. Mainly due to production disturbances, half their manufacturing capacity goes unused. READ MORE

  5. 3. Production Ergonomics: Identifying and managing risk in the design of high performance work systems

    Author : Patrick Neumann; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reumatologi; Organizational science; Organisationsteori; Production technology; Produktionsteknik; muskelsystem; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; muscle system; Skeleton; Risk Assessment; Manufacturing; Musculoskeletal disorders; Human Factors; Organisational Development; Production System Design; Strategy;

    Abstract : Poor ergonomics in production systems can compromise performance and cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which pose a huge cost to society, companies, and afflicted individuals. This thesis presents a research trajectory through the problem space by: 1) Identifying and quantifying workplace risk factors for MSDs, 2) Identifying how these risks may relate to production strategies, and 3) Developing an approach to integrating ergonomics into a companies’ regular development work.

  6. 4. An Analysis of the Proactive Approach as a Potential Tool for Adaptability in Production Systems

    Author : Kerstin Dencker; Mauro Onori; Lena Mårtensson; Monica Bellgran; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Assembly; production system design; proactivity; human-machine collaboration; SRA - Production; SRA - Produktion;

    Abstract : Competitive systems for manufacturing, especially assembly systems, have to cope with frequent changes of external as well as internal demands. A proactive behaviour in an assembly system should make it capable of rapid changes and have an ability to handle frequent changes and disturbances. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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.
