6. Ergonomics Methods and Work Procedures in Car Manufacturing for Improvement of Quality, Productivity and Health at Work
Sammanfattning : Many studies have concluded that there are great human and economic gains in finding ergonomically sound solutions as early as possible in product and production development. Hence, the objective of the research presented in this thesis was to evaluate methods for improved ergonomics assessment in early phases of product and production development and in production.

7. A study of process planning for metal cutting
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
8. Strategic sourcing in the age of e-business : prerequisites in manufacturing industries
Sammanfattning : Strategic sourcing (i.e. relationship, sourcing and negotiation strategies) has, by the introduction of the Internet and e-business, get hold of a variety of possibilities supporting the classical sourcing guiding principle, such as electronic marketplaces, reversed e-auctions, online communication tools, software agents and the like.

9. Increased Productivity of Ferrous Alloys Produced by Powder Bed Fusion - Laser Beam
Sammanfattning : Low production speeds limit wider adoption of powder bed fusion – laser beam (PBF-LB) in cost sensitive industries as it correlates directly with high production costs. The main process parameters such as scan speed, hatch distance and layer thickness can be scaled up to increase build speed, but it often comes at a trade off in lower quality, i. LÄS MER
10. Developing decision-support tools for evaluation of manufacturing reshoring decisions
Sammanfattning : During last three decades, companies have offshored their manufacturing activities across international borders in order to pursue lower manufacturing costs. Despite having accomplished their purpose, companies have also suffered from issues, especially poor quality of products and a poor response to customer demand. LÄS MER
