  2. 21. Supply network configuration for small series, high-cost production : Exploring the European textile and apparel industry context

    Author : Sara Harper; Per Hilletofth; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; small series production; high-cost contexts; textile apparel industry; supply network configuration; capabilities; priorities; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of supply network configuration (SNC) for small series production in high-cost contexts in relation to the textile/apparel industry. SNC encompasses strategic structural and infrastructural decisions at the supply chain level, motivated by capabilities/priorities. READ MORE

  4. 22. Value assessment capabilities in early PSS development : a study in the aerospace industry

    Author : Alessandro Bertoni; Christian Kowalkowski; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Funktionella produkter; Functional Product Development; Produktinnovation; Product Innovation;

    Abstract : Providing added value to standalone products by adding services is at the core of product service systems (PSS) offered in manufacturing industries. Providing PSS requires a change not only in the way products are sold, but also in the way they are designed and developed. READ MORE

  5. 23. Multiscale Modeling of Molecular Sieving in LTA-type Zeolites : From the Quantum Level to the Macroscopic

    Author : Amber Mace; Laaksonen Aatto; Tina Düren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CO2 separation; carbon capture; kinetic sieving; Zeolite A; Zeolite NaKA; cation exchange; temporal coarse graining; Kinetic Monte Carlo; Molecular Dynamics; AIMD; DFT; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : LTA-type zeolites with narrow window apertures coinciding with the approximate size of small gaseous molecules such as CO2 and N2 are interesting candidates for adsorbents with swing adsorption technologies due to their molecular sieving capabilities and otherwise attractive properties. These sieving capabilities are dependent on the energy barriers of diffusion between the zeolite pores, which can be fine-tuned by altering the framework composition. READ MORE

  6. 24. Capabilities for Change: Trust and Involvement in Organization Development

    Author : Rita Berggren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; change; Capabilities; trust; involvement;

    Abstract : The more capable an organization is in changing, the better the result. However, up to 75% of change initiatives still fail. Previous research suggests that trust is a key factor for success, both with regards to trust in managers and in the change itself. READ MORE

  7. 25. Manufacturing Strategy, Capabilities and Performance

    Author : Mattias Hallgren; Jan Olhager; Terence Hill; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Manufacturing Strategy; Manufacturing Capabilities; Operational Performance; Empirical Research; Contingency Factors; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences; Produktion och arbetsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This dissertation addresses the topic of manufacturing strategy, especially the manufacturing capabilities and operational performance of manufacturing plants. Manufacturing strategy research aims at providing a structured decision making approach to improve the economics of manufacturing and to make companies more competitive. READ MORE
