  3. 12. Product Variety Cost in an Engineering-to-Order Business

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

    Author : Filip Ivarsson; August Åström; [2021]
    Keywords : Engineering-to-Order; Product Variety; Variation; Cost Drivers; Activity-Based Cost Calculation; Process Mapping; Standardisation;

    Abstract : Engineering-to-order is a production approach that aims to develop each customer order from scratch based on specific requirements, and is therefore inevitably characterised by a high product variety. It is clear that this strategy is costly, but previous research is lacking in terms of providing real-life data regarding how a high product variety affects costs. READ MORE

  4. 13. Disclosing the definition on the upcycling concept : An exploratory study investigating the concept of upcycling and standardisation and its role on the path towards a circular textile industry

    Abstract : This thesis seeks to explore the potential for 3D archaeological datasets to become the ‘living resources’ advocated by Morgan and Wright (2018). This process is examined through lenses of object agency, object biography, Chaîne opératoire, formation processes and posthumanist theory with an aim to assess the capacity of digital approaches for enabling the self-reflexive ‘slow archaeology’ idealised by Caraher (2016).
