  1. 31. International manufacturing relocation - the phenomenon of backshoring

    Författare :Malin Johansson; Teknisk logistik; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Reshoring; Offshoring; Right-shoring; Survey; Meta-analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Recently, firms have started to bring back once offshored manufacturing activities from far distant locations, an activity referred to as backshoring. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the backshoring phenomenon by answering four research questions related to different aspects of manufacturing relocation. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Economic studies of health technology changes in prostate cancer care

    Författare :Karin Sennfält; Ivar Kristiansen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: New health technologies are one of the major drivers of increasing health care costs, although not all technologies have been shown to be effective. Initiation of activities for ensuring an appropriate diffusion of new health technologies is therefore an important task for a society. LÄS MER

  4. 33. Methods to quantify and qualify truck driver performance

    Författare :Iulian Carpatorea; Slawomir Nowaczyk; Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson; Wahde Mattias; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Driver performance; heavy-duty vehicle; fuel economy; fuel consumption; fuel prediction; truck driver;

    Sammanfattning : Fuel consumption is a major economical component of vehicles, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles. It is dependent on many factors, such as driver and environment, and control over some factors is present, e.g. route, and we can try to optimize others, e. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Integrated brake control : downhill driving strategies

    Författare :Peter Lingman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; transport efficiency; heavy duty trucks; road slope estimation; cruise controller; retardation economy; foundation brakes; mass estimation; brake heat fading; Auxilary brakes; downhill driving strategies; component wear;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, downhill driving strategies that co–ordinate the different brake actuators in heavy duty vehicles have been developed. As a starting point, the vehicle features affected by the retardation system are investigated. LÄS MER

  7. 35. Waste in road transport operations - using information sharing to increase efficiency

    Författare :Henrik Sternberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; road transport operations; transport efficiency; ICT; information sharing; transport information systems; freight transportation; motor carrier;

    Sammanfattning : In terms of efficiency, road transport operations have historically seen very little development relative to other supply chain areas and some authors have even referred to freight transportation as the “forgotten factor.” Several studies world-wide have shown a generally low level of efficiency in road transport operations.
