1. Using discrete-event simulation to enable implementation of picking and palletizing robots: A case study
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknikAbstract : Aim: The study aims to develop a DES model to evaluate the impacts of implementing packaging and palletizing robotics in the goods-receipts process. Research questions: RQ1: “What are the requirements when developing a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model of the goods receipt process in the internal logistics section of a manufacturing company?”, RQ2: “What is the impact of implementing a new layout with industrial palletizer robotics in manufacturing companies' internal logistics - specifically the goods receipt process in terms of robot Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), throughput, and WIP?” and, RQ3: “What considerations should companies take into account when implementing industrial palletizer robotics in their internal logistics, in terms of process flow?” Methodology: This study applied an inductive approach, letting the empirical findings guide the themes explored in the theoretical framework while having a constant interplay between empirical data collection and the construction of the simulation model.

2. How to Improve a Planning System and Workflow in a Quality Control Laboratory : A Case Study at Fresenius Kabi in Sweden
University essay from KTH/Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.); KTH/Industriell produktionAbstract : Laboratories within quality control are very complicated to schedule due to the high product mix and diversified products tested with many different analysts and instruments. Thus, it requires a flexible planning system to change and improve the overall lab performance and increase efficiency. READ MORE

4. Configuration of an electronic Kanban board for planning analysis activities at an industrial laboratory
University essay from KTH/Industriell produktionAbstract : To improve productivity, it is important that the right product is produced in the right quantity when that product is needed. Kanban is a way to signalise the need for material and its main aspect is that it pulls materials through the processes only when needed. Kanban can therefore help reduce Work In Progress (WIP).

5. Stuck state avoidance through PID estimation training of Q-learning agent
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Reinforcement learning is conceptually based on an agent learning through interaction with its environment. This trial-and-error learning method makes the process prone to situations in which the agent is stuck in a dead-end, from which it cannot keep learning. READ MORE
