  1. 16. Improving engineering change processes by using lean principles

    Författare :Mikael Ström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lean; information; engineering change; principles; PLM; product development;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this research was to test the usefulness of the 13 lean principles for product development by Morgan & Liker when improving an engineering change (EC) process. The EC-process was studied at four firms. The firms were active in three different industrial branches. Two of the firms are situated in Sweden and two in Finland. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Implementing Lean Production - How details of the implementation influence the psychosocial work environment of production workers

    Författare :Torbjörn Claesson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Continuous improvement; Psychosocial work; Keywords: Lean production; Standardisation;

    Sammanfattning : The background of the thesis is the debate concerning the work environmental implications of lean production. It has been claimed that lean leads to a detrimental work environment. Others have claimed that lean constitutes means for a better working life. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Be lean to be resilient : Setting capabilities for turbulent times

    Författare :Seyoum Eshetu Birkie; Matti Kaulio; Paolo Trucco; Jussi Heikkilä; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Resilience; lean production; synergy; supply chain disruption; dynamic capabilities; mixed method approach; uncertainties; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

    Sammanfattning : Businesses globally are challenged to innovate their operations strategies and practices towards tighter delivery times, better quality and cheaper prices to remain profitable in addition to managing unpredictable circumstances well in today’s turbulent business environment. They often have to deal with the apparent paradox of advancing efficiency-fostering approaches such as lean production, and enhancing operational resilience against unanticipated disruptions.

  5. 19. Assembly processes and materials supply systems design

    Författare :Christian Finnsgård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Implementering av processlösningar i sjukvården

    Författare :Torbjörn Jacobsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Process flow solutions; Operations management; Lean production; Lean healthcare; Implementation; Healthcare;

    Sammanfattning : Many healthcare organizations are increasingly confronting long waiting times and queues of patients. It is no longer feasible to add resources, due to increasing economic constraints. Implementing process flow solutions, derived from the operations management field, is a promising way of trying to meet these challenges. LÄS MER
