  2. 6. Ergonomics in car disassembly industry on the edge of major rationalizations

    Author : Karolina Kazmierczak; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; disassembly production systems; mechanical exposures; car disassembly industry; rationalizations; ergonomics;

    Abstract : A new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. Today this level is about 80%. The growing car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 7. Construction transport efficiency from the perspective of Main Contractor and Transporter

    Author : Farah Naz; Anna Fredriksson; Linea Kjellsdotter Ivert; Johan Woxenius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction transport efficiency; Performance measures; Construction logistics management; Case study;

    Abstract : Transport efficiency within construction is low. One reason behind the lack of efficiency within the construction transport is the lack of proper logistics management that in turn results in problems of delivery reliability, material flows as well as material availability. READ MORE

  5. 8. Assembly processes and materials supply systems design

    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; packaging; materials exposure; Lean production; materials handling; materials supply; production system; assembly;

    Abstract : Lean production has over the last decades emerged as the most important paradigm for production, with the assembly processes in focus, including the objective to minimize non-value-adding work. Thus, much attention has been on the work of the assembly operator. READ MORE

  6. 9. A study of process planning for metal cutting

    Author : Staffan Anderberg; Lars Pejryd; Tomas Beno; Mats Andersson; Högskolan Väst; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process planning; CAPP; CAM; efficiency; performance; green manufacturing; sustainable machining; CNC; Produktionsberedning; effektivitet; grön tillverkning; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik;

    Abstract : Process planning as a function for competitiveness is often neglected. However, as an intermediary between product development and manufacturing, it holds a key function in transforming product specifications and requirements into a producible process plan. READ MORE

  7. 10. Naturalizing Quality Management: A problem of organizing in processes of change

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; taking action; tension; practices; techniques; organizing; change; pattern; shared view; making sense; process; orientating; quality management; principles; modes of organizing;

    Abstract : Various studies have investigated success factors, the effects of organizational contexts, key issues for sustainability, and the financial impact of the quality management (QM) trend in industry. However, few studies of QM in practice build on experiences and data collected as an employee, as well as data collected through interviews after leaving the company. READ MORE
