   Keywords : Multi-Objective optimization; Buffer Allocation Problem; Simulation modeling; FACTS Analyzer; Buffer allocation; Optimization; Buffers; Lean; Manufacturing; Streamlining; Sustainability; Flow of material; Design of Experiments; Gemba walk; Data visualization;

   Abstract : This thesis will provide knowledge on how to maintain a well developed flow of material while at the same time finding an optimal level of capacities for buffers. Simultaneously, aspects that allow for positive sustainability practices will be regarded.  Buffers have a considerable impact on the performance of a production system. READ MORE

4. 3. Employees’ Health in the Process Industry: The Impact of Lean

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Industriell ekonomi

   Author : Mikaela Burchardt; Sandra Löfström; [2022]
   Keywords : Lean; Process industry; Psychosocial effects; Organisational culture;

   Abstract : The effects of implementing Lean has been widely studied within the context of discrete manufacturing, where it originated, but much less so within the process industry. Within discrete manufacturing there are major benefits to implementing Lean with a focus on respect for people and human aspects, particularly on employee health and organisational culture, but does the same hold true in the process industry? The purpose of this thesis is to look into this question. READ MORE

5. 4. Increasing Availability Through Reduced Delays in Large Systems : A Case Study Based in Systems Engineering, Integrated Support Logistics, and Lean

   University essay from KTH/Industriell produktion

   Author : Erik Nilsson Nordahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Integrated Logistics Support; Integrated Product Support; Model Based Systems Engineering; Lean; Availability; Administrative Delay Time; Logistics Delay Time; Electrical Charging Infrastructure; Integrerat Logistikstöd; Modellbaserad Systemteknik; Lean; Tillgänglighet; Administrativ Väntetid; Logistisk Väntetid; Elektrisk Laddinfrastruktur;

   Abstract : Increased trends towards servitization within previously exclusively manufacturing industries makes a larger part of maintenance become the responsibility of the manufacturer. This increased responsibility makes it more important for suppliers to know how different parameters contribute to cost, to be able to price their contracts correctly. READ MORE

6. 5. Organising the internal transport to increase lift trucks utilisation : A case study at a large manufacturing company

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle
