  2. 1. Contributions to the Use of Statistical Methods for Improving Continuous Production

    Author : Francesca Capaci; Erik Vanhatalo; Bjarne Bergquist; Murat Kulahci; Johan Carlson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process industry; Continuous process; Statistical process control; Design of experiments; Process improvements; Simulation tool; Engineering process control; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology Management;

    Abstract : Complexity of production processes, high computing capabilities, and massive datasets characterize today’s manufacturing environments, such as those of continuous andbatch production industries. Continuous production has spread gradually acrossdifferent industries, covering a significant part of today’s production. READ MORE

    Abstract : Early detection is vital to successfully treating breast cancer, and mammography screening is the most efficient and wide-spread method to reach this goal. Imaging low-contrast targets, while minimizing the radiation exposure to a large population is, however, a major challenge. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards improvement of geometrical quality for manual assembly parts

    Author : Mikael Rosenqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calculation model; geometry system; Interview; assessment; action cost.; assembly; error; ergonomics; assembly complexity; design for assembly; robust design; complexity; manual assembly; sustainable; tolerance analysis and design; CAT; quality; failure; action cost; assembly ergonomics;

    Abstract : Geometrical variation affects all mass-produced products. This variation will lead to deviations from the nominal design of the product both in terms of aesthetical and functional properties. Geometrical variation originates either from the manufacturing of the parts or from the assembly process.
