1. 1. Development of Reliability AnalysisTool to Study Tribology in WindTurbines

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Prakhar Joshi; [2021]
   Keywords : Failure Cost Estimation; Reliability Analysis; Reliability In uencing Factor; Tribology; Wind Turbine; Reliabilitetsanalysverktyg; Reliability In uencing Factors; Tribologi; Uppskattning av felkostnad; Vindkraftverk;

   Abstract : Wind energy is one of the most promising sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, therapid growth in wind turbine technology is not equally at par with the improvement in itsreliability. Wind turbine systems tend to fail before their design life and hence result in asizeable amount of failure cost. READ MORE

3. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK INFORMED METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RADIATION RELEASE FROM CABLE FIRES AT HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Daniel Funk; [2020]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; CERN; Fire-induced Radiological release; particle accelerator; Fire Protection; Fire Risk Analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. READ MORE

4. 3. Quantitative Risk Assessment of Wave Energy Technology

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Emil Ericsson; Eric Gregorson; [2018]
   Keywords : risk assessment; wave power; wave energy converter; marine energy technology; failure rate; Monte Carlo; fault tree; CAPEX; OPEX; LCOE; vågkraft; vågenergi; riskanalys;

   Abstract : European Commission (2011) aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emission sby 85-95% by 2050 in comparison to 1990’s levels. Wave energy could be an important step to archiving this goal. This report aims to develop a quantitative risk assessment for the Uppsala University's wave energy converter. READ MORE

5. 4. Simulating production risk at Volvo Powertrain - Developing a simulation tool for decision making

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Magnus Cederlund; [2014]
   Keywords : Risk Management; Supply Chain Risk Management; Fault Tree Analysis; Preliminary Hazard Analysis; Lean Production; Risk Matrix; World Class Manufacturing; Fire Safety; Volvo Powertrain; Business and Economics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing streamline production facilities and supply chain where goods and raw material are delivered just in time, where buffer zones are reduced, and where suppliers are reduced to a single source. These are trends that strengthen companies’ competitiveness, but it also makes companies more vulnerable to risk events. READ MORE

6. 5. Streamlining Internal Supply Chain, based on mapping processes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Produktionsekonomi

   Author : Eldan Kajevic; Joans Sjöberg; [2013]
   Keywords : Supply Chain Management SCM ; Streamlining Business Operations; Process Mapping; Performance Management System; Process Based Business Development PBBD ; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Context Background Globalisation, increasing product complexity, volatile demand, and financial crisis all put strains on the supply, processing, and distribution of goods. That’s why supply chain management has become the area to focus on to gain competitive advantages and reduce costs. READ MORE
