1. 11. Levels of Automation in Production Systems

   Författare :Jörgen Frohm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; automation; task allocation; measurement; levels of automation; production;

   Sammanfattning : Although automation is often seen as an efficient way to achieve cost-efficient production and to relieve humans from heavy or dangerous tasks, it also has its drawbacks. Earlier research has shown that increasing levels of automation in unforeseen production situations can be related to production disturbances. LÄS MER

3. 12. Ergonomics in car disassembly industry on the edge of major rationalizations

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

   Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

4. 13. On Stage : Acting for development of businesses and ergonomics in woodworking SMEs

   Författare :Johan Karltun; Jörgen Eklund; Gunnela Westlander; Matti Vartiainen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; organisational change; ergonomics; woodworking; SME; Work sciences and ergonomics; Arbetsvetenskap och ergonomi; Manufacturing engineering and work sciences;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis reports findings and results from studies of development work and change processes in the secondary woodworking industry. The purpose with the research is to increase the knowledge on how companies can initiate change and to increase their ability to change. LÄS MER

5. 14. Strategic and operational capabilities in steel production : Product variety and performance

   Författare :Joakim Storck; Bengt Lindberg; Christer Johansson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel production; system dynamics; product variety; production strategy; cost models; Manufacturing engineering; Produktionsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Steel producers that employ niche market strategies are continuously seeking to reduce production cost while maintaining adiverse product mix. The business model is typically based onmarketing of high–strength special or stainless steels. LÄS MER

7. 15. Anthropometric diversity and consideration of human capabilities : Methods for virtual product and production development

   Författare :Erik Brolin; Roland Örtengren; Dan Högberg; Lars Hanson; John Rasmussen; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics; Human Factors; Anthropometry; Multi-Dimensional; Diversity; Digital Human Modelling; Simulation; Visualisation; Workplace Design; Product Design; Accommodation; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

   Sammanfattning : Contemporary product and production development is typically carried out with the support of computer tools where the design of products and workstations are originated and evaluated within virtual environments. Ergonomics addresses factors important to consider in the product and production development process to ensure a good fit between humans and the items being designed. LÄS MER
