A Taxonomy for Engineering Change Management in Complex ETO Firms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this paper, we study a specific type of Engineer-to-Order (ETO) firms called Complex ETO characterized by one-of-a-kind products with high complexity and low volumes. Such firms are at high risk of encountering significant ... -
An approach to data structuring and predictive analysis in discrete manufacturing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In discrete manufacturing the variation in process parameters and duration is often large. Common data storage and analytics systems primarily store data in univariate time series, and when analysing machine components of ... -
Depth profiling at a steel-aluminum interface using slow-flow direct current glow discharge mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Direct current glow discharge mass spectrometry (dc-GDMS), which relies on sector field mass analyzers, is not commonly used for depth profiling applications because of its slow data acquisition. Nevertheless, dc-GDMS has ... -
Rethinking Value – A means to an end for the whispering game
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lean production. It is one of the most misunderstood business concepts of our time. Since the 1990s, it has been mystically reduced from an organization-wide concept to a set of principles and best practices for manufacturing ... -
The critical role of sensei in developing lean leaders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aim of this paper is to illustrate how lean training initiatives developed through the intervention and support of a sensei can contribute to the development of lean leadership traits in team managers. The study is ... -
A Review on Laser-Assisted Joining of Aluminium Alloys to Other Metals
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Modern industry requires different advanced metallic alloys with specific properties since conventional steels cannot cover all requirements. Aluminium alloys are becoming more popular, due to their low weight, high corrosion ... -
Advances in Production Management Systems: Issues, Trends, and Vision Towards 2030
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2021)Since its inception in 1978, the IFIP Working Group (WG) 5.7 on Advances in Production Management Systems (APMS) has played an active role in the fields of production and production management. The Working Group has focused ... -
Quick-Scan – Towards a Strategy for Responsive and Resilient Value Chains
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)To remain competitive in today’s increasingly dynamic and complex environments, manufacturing enterprises must build resilience to respond to changes quickly. As such, lean production has provided firms with an alternative ... -
Digitally enhanced quality management for Zero-Defect Manufacturing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Though the idea of Zero Defect Manufacturing is not new, it remains a disruptive concept that is able to entirely reshape the manufacturing ideology. Existing literature suggests that Zero Defect Manufacturing can be ... -
Human-Robot Collaboration: Safety by Design
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High payload industrial robots, unlike collaborative robots are not designed to work together with humans. Collaboration can only happen in situations, where the human and robot is separated with a distance, which allows ... -
