  1. 1. Development and application of a tool for assessing the impact of failure modes on performance of underground drill rigs.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Rickard Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : availability; functional contracts; failure modes; discrete event simulation; mining; drilling rigs; tillgänglighet; funktionella kontrakt; feltillstånd; diskret händelsestyrd simulering; gruvdrift; borriggar;

    Abstract : Trends such as increasing awareness of sustainable production, shorter product life cycles and personalised products create challenges for the mining industry. A solution to these challenges may be a functional product business model, where the provider sells the hardware’s function under a service contract and is responsible for delivering the combination of hardware and services over the duration of the contract.

  4. 3. Flow simulation of Body In White : Optimization of the production sequence and identification of bottlenecks at Volvo Trucks plant in Umeå

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Mattias Lundberg; Johan Söderlund; [2017]
    Keywords : discrete event; simulation; optimization; genetic algorithm; heuristics; production sequence; Body In White; Volvo Trucks; diskret händelsestyrd; simulering; optimering; genetisk algoritm; heuristiker; produktionssekvens; Body In White; Volvo Lastvagnar;

    Abstract : In this study, a discrete event model was created and used in combination with an optimization method to find the optimal production sequence at Volvo Group’s cab plant in Umeå. The optimization was performed with a heuristic approach combined with a genetic search algorithm. READ MORE

  5. 4. Customer Support Process Analysis : Using statistics and modeling to analyze a global customer support process

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Tobias Björch; Fredrik Strålberg; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A key challenge for a company with global support is to provide qualitative service to their customers. Management of global support centers has to consider customer requirements, service agreements, budget, resources and more. Therefore, management has a limited room for testing new approaches, especially in global operations. READ MORE

  6. 5. Capacity assessment of a production system using simulation

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kommunikations- och transportsystem; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Henrik Håkansson; Niklas Samuelsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Diskret händelsestyrd simulering; Simulering; Kapacitetsutredning; Kapacitet; Produktionslina; Produktionslogistik;

    Abstract : Syftet med examensarbetet är att ge Ostspecialisten en tydligare bild av vilken kapacitet företaget besitter på en av sina produktionslinor samt över eventuella kapacitetsökningar som krävs i framtiden då potentiellt en ny kund ska tillkomma. Som metod för att genomföra kapacitetsutredningen har simulering valts då det ansågs vara lämpligt främst på grund av de variationer som produktionssystemet innehåller. READ MORE
