Sustainability Performance Indicators at Shop Floor Level in Large Manufacturing Companies
- 2017
-
Ingår i: The 24th CIRP Conference on Life Cycle Engineering. - : Elsevier. ; 61, s. 457-462
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates sustainability in the performance measurement systems of Swedish manufacturing companies. It builds on a previous study that documents relatively few direct environmental indicators at shop floor level, which raises questions about possible indirect links between existing indicators and the environment that could be used to improve the environmental aspect of company's sustainability ambitions. A method for identifying and categorizing indirect links to sustainability issues was defined and used. The results suggest that at shop floor level 90% of the indicators have at least an indirect relation to one or more of the sustainability dimensions economy, environment and social, of which 26% are at least indirectly related to the environmental dimension. Despite the many indirect connections, participating companies perceive a need to improve sustainability indicators and some ideas are suggested.

Achieving Sustainable Production through Increased Utilization of Production Resources
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 4th Swedish Production Symposium, SPS11, Lund, May 3-5, 2011. ; , s. 398-406
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There seems to be a quite divergent view on sustainable production, mainly based on the perspective applied. From a global perspective, every kind of material consumption and growth is basically unwanted and should be minimized. This reflects in economic sustainability parameters that point towards producing as little as possible and socialparameters pointing at eliminating abuse of human rights etc. On the other hand, international summits on sustainability have stated that it is a human right to have a certain standard of living, which implies increase in production but with less resource consumption. This global perspective is however not very helpful when focusing on more local level, for example Swedish manufacturing industry. To achieve a long-term jobsecurity the manufacturing companies need to be long-term prosperous. Further, to be able to maintain profitability levels, manufacturing companies need to continuouslyincrease productivity. Utilization deals with using production equipment in a cost efficient way and this article will highlight how utilization affects different aspects of sustainable production, the link between utilization and productivity, as well as practical considerations when improving utilization in manufacturing industry.

Why is there a mismatch between operation times in the planning systems and the times in reality?
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of APMS2010. - 9788864930077
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is often a substantial difference between operation times in reality on the factory shop-floor and in the company’s planning and control system. This difference has several severe consequences for the company’s daily operation in terms of meeting delivery dates and utilizing the available resources in an efficient way, as well as more long term and strategic consequences for the company’s business. Offers to customers and investmentdecisions are based on the operation times in the planning system. There are three principal causes for the gap: Operation times are not set in a correct way from the outset, extra allowance time to handle temporary disturbances tends to become permanent and accumulate, and the fact that operation times once set in the planning system seldom are updated. The root cause for these threedeficiencies is quite likely the management’s unawareness of the situation.

Modeling Results of the Quench Behavior of a Nb-Ti Canted-Cosine-Theta Corrector Magnet for LHC
- 2024
-
Ingår i: IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity (Print). - : IEEE. - 1051-8223 .- 1558-2515. ; 34:5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A newly designed superconducting magnet of the Canted-Cosine-Theta (CCT) type was developed as a result of a collaboration between Swedish universities (Uppsala and Linneaus) and Swedish industries. This magnet was designed to function as a replacement of the present LHC orbit corrector magnets, which are approaching their end of life due to the radiation load. As a result, the new CCT magnet was developed to be more radiation tolerant and to constitute a one-to-one replacement to the currently installed version, which is a 1 m long 70 mm double aperture dipole magnet. The final magnet, which is currently under construction, will be tested at FREIA laboratory at Uppsala University and generate a magnetic field of 3.3 T and an integrated field of 2.8 Tm at about 85 A. To examine the magnet quench behavior and to identify a suitable quench protection system, the 3D electro-magnetic and thermal behavior of the coil was modeled using the RAT-Raccoon software. Based on the simulation results, a Metrosil varistor was selected to protect the magnet during the test. In this article, we report the results of the numerical analysis. The magnet model is equipped with a spot heater to initialize the quench and the temperature and voltages are monitored during the avalanche effect. The simulated current decay and the hot-spot temperature are analyzed with a focus on the impact of quench-back on the magnet protection.

Performance indicators at different organisational levels in manufacturing companies
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Swedish Production Symposium, 25-27/10 2016, Lund.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this article is to study how performance is measured at different organisational levels within manufacturing organizations. The analysis and discussion are based on the results from a present state analysis of 7different Swedish manufacturing sites conducted in the research project “Sustainable and resource efficient business performance measurement system” which is a part of the Swedish research program Produktion2030. The indicatorsused at the sites were collected through interviews with managers on different levels in the organization and studies of the visualised performance indicators on score cards and on KPI boards.To determine the differences between organizational levels, the performance indicators were categorised according to their type, topic, and frequency of updating the results.The largest differences were found between site level and area level in all analyses. On site level there was a larger amount of indicators, lower frequency of updating the results, and more frequent use of advanced indicators. Thefocus on site level was more on financial indicators and the total amount of performance indicators are higher compared to area and work centre level.This article contributes to the performance measurement systems body of knowledge through the identification of differences in type and topic of performance indicators used at different organisational levels within a manufacturingorganization.

Review of a performance measurement system at shop-floor level
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of 24th EurOMA conference, July 1-5, Edinburgh, Scotland.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Performance measurement systems (PMS) are used within most manufacturingcompanies in Sweden today. However, little focus has been on reviewing the efficiency of the PMS. This article reviews the PMS in a production unit in a systematic analysis with a scientific approach. The analysis is based on interview data from the identified stakeholders of the PMS at the production unit. The studied production unit has a quite efficient PMS, but there are also some improvement areas the can help them become more efficient. The systematic analysis method used in the studied case can be used in other contexts as well.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: This research aims to identify and organise the conditions of organisational readiness for digital transformation. Design/methodology/approach: This qualitative study comprises three case studies within manufacturing companies from different sizes and industries located in Sweden. Plant visits and in-depth interviews bring to light companies' experiences with initial steps towards digital transformation. A set of conditions for digital organisational readiness was translated into a questionnaire and tested with one of the studied companies. Findings: This paper organises and tests digital organisational readiness conditions to support companies' initial steps on digital transformation. The results are put in perspective of established change management theory and previous studies about digital transformation. The findings will conclude in a questionnaire to support dialogue and digital organisational readiness assessments. Research limitations/implications: Additional conditions for the initial phase of digital transformation could possibly be found if more cases had been included in the study. Practical implications: The article identifies a set of conditions translated into a questionnaire that should be used as a dialogue tool to create strategic alignment and support companies in their initial discussions. If this process can be faster and more efficient, the company can achieve a competitive advantage against competitors. Originality/value: This research's relevance relies on the fact that companies are advancing in adopting digital technologies without being ready from an organisational perspective. This gap creates barriers for companies' digital maturing processes, stopping them from having full access to digital technologies' benefits. © 2021, Carla Gonçalves Machado, Mats Winroth, Peter Almström, Anna Ericson Öberg, Martin Kurdve and Sultan AlMashalah.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digitalization is changing the business environment and companies face challenges to make progress. A first step to support companies is to verify their digital readiness, capabilities, and developing clear plans for improvement. This paper aims to evaluate the digital readiness of seven companies through the application of a self-check tool, followed by a deeper investigation through a case study, to identify reasons, challenges/barriers and enablers towards digitalization. A workshop was conducted to evaluate the use of a self-check tool and collect other analysis. Results include the readiness level and comparison between companies, actions and practices towards increased digitalization.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A prototype CCT dipole magnet developed by a collaboration between Swedish universities, Swedish industry and CERN will be tested at Uppsala University. This 1 m long double-aperture magnet can provide a field strength of 3.3 T at 85 A in a 70 mm aperture with an integrated field of 2.8 Tm. It is intended to replace the current LHC orbit corrector magnets which are reaching the end of their expected life due to the radiation load. The new magnet is designed to handle the radiation dose of the upgrade to the high-luminosity LHC, which will deliver about ten times the current radiation dose. It must therefore be more resistant to radiation and meet strict requirements in terms of electrical insulation while matching the original field quality and self-protective capability, mechanical volume, and maximum excitation current. This paper will present the latest of the design and manufacturing work, including the results of simulations of the mechanical field and the mechanical stress. Details of the various tests performed before machining the parts are also presented.

How effective is endoscopic third ventriculostomy in treating adult hydrocephalus caused by primary aqueductal stenosis?
- 2000
-
Ingår i: Neurosurgery. - 0148-396X. ; 46:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To evaluate the long-term efficacy of third ventriculostomies for adult patients with hydrocephalus caused by primary aqueductal stenosis.Eighteen of 64 patients who underwent endoscopic third ventriculostomies (ETVs) between June 1991 and July 1995 were treated because of primary aqueductal stenosis. All of these patients accepted follow-up investigations, which were performed 3 months to 5 years after surgery. If hydrocephalic symptoms persisted, the patency of the ventriculostomy was investigated; in cases of open ventriculostomies, the patients were offered shunt surgery. The effects of the shunt surgery were evaluated after 3 months.After ETV, nine of the patients exhibited excellent improvements, two exhibited slight improvements, one displayed no change, and six demonstrated temporary improvements. The ventriculostomies were patent in all nine patients who experienced less than excellent results. Subsequent ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement produced improvements for all seven patients who accepted the surgery.In our experience, the long-term effectiveness of ETVs for adult patients with noncommunicating hydrocephalus was sufficient in only 50% of the cases. One-third of the patients exhibited temporary improvements, lasting 1 to 12 months (average duration, 5 mo) after the ETVs, and then demonstrated deterioration to even worse clinical conditions, despite patent ventriculostomies. All patients who did not exhibit permanent improvements after the ETVs benefited from shunt surgery. Efforts should be made to establish methods for the selection of patients for ETV or ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research has shown that sustainable improvements need incentives to carry them through. An assumption is that it may be easier to incorporatesustainable thinking in an organization if the organization understandswhich actions it is that are having a positive effect on sustainability andon tangible costs. This paper aims to highlight the synergy effects thatoccur in the intersection between production costs, performance and sustainableimprovements and to present a possible way of modelling theseeffects. The study has used three methods of analysis: literature review, aweb survey sent to representatives in the Swedish manufacturing industry,and economic simulations using a case study. The literature review and thesurvey are used to identify important costs and incentives for sustainableimprovements. The study is limited to the production shop floor level, incorporatingonly aspects directly affecting, and affected by manufacturingoperations.This paper takes a holistic approach to sustainability drivers, cost driversin industry, and economic simulations, creating an overall insight. Fromthe literature review and the survey, intersections between sustainabilitymeasures and cost drivers could be found in the areas of site-occupancyarea/floor space, resource consumption, and efficiency. Apart from lawsand regulations, economic aspects and management attention are perceivedas the most important drivers, but also obstacles for sustainability improvements.The study aims to support industry to embrace sustainable thinking,presenting a quantitative method to visualize the synergy effects of sustainabilityand measurable improvements from production development,using performance measurements when estimating manufacturing costs.The possibility to connect manufacturing cost with environmental impact,through use of performance parameters is demonstrated in a case study;where the significant environmental and economic impact of rejections isanalyzed for the machining of steel frames

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sustainable development has become more and more in focus over a number of years. Sustainability is however quite large issue, involving environmental, economical, and social aspects, and the question is how it may apply to production within the factory walls. This paper describes the outcome from testing 52 suggested Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in a survey to Swedish manufacturing industry. The answering rate was 10 %, resulting in 65 answers from randomly selected responding companies. All KPIs were more or less used, but 27 KPIs indicated statistical significance, constituting 6 environmental, 13 economic, and 8 social indicators.

Sustainable indicators at factory level – a framework for practical assessment
- 2012

Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2012 Industrial and Systems Engineering Research Conference, G. Lim and J.W. Herrmann, eds., May 19-22, Orlando, FL, U.S.A.. - 9780983762416

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sustainable development is “the development that meets the need of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. Interpreted in a production systems perspective this means: “The system which produces goods or services by the application of the manufacturing methods that are non-polluting, preserving energy and natural resources, economically feasible, occupational health and safety implementation and rewarding for all employees”. Manufacturing companies need to be able to measure their progress and several frameworks with indicators are proposed in the literature. Only a few of the proposed Sustainable Performance Indicators are directly applicable at factory level. In this article, a set of suitable indicators is proposed with the aim that the indicators will measure progress as well as being comparable between factories. An empirical study for evaluating the proposed set of parameters is outlined which will clarify the industrial relevance and the opportunity to implement these into a framework that could be used in practice. This framework and set of indicators will be used in future surveys, national in Sweden as well as international comparison, e.g. in UK and Brazil.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose - Sustainable production (SP) is a very broad area and the awareness and communication of the concept differ between varying levels in a company. The supposition is that the awareness and improvement of sustainability on shop floor level would improve, if a suitable set of indicators for measuring sustainability was available. The purpose of this paper is therefore to identify a list of performance indicators relevant for a production manager. Design/methodology/approach - This paper presents a two-step analysis, where the first step is a literature review with the purpose of compiling a gross list of sustainability indicators relevant on shop floor level. In the second phase, the relevance of this list for production managers in Swedish small- And medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is tested in a questionnaire survey. Findings - The conclusion from the survey is that 27 out of 52 proposed indicators were relevant with statistical significance and that another 20 indicators were supported by at least 50 percent of the respondents. The respondents found the economic indicators to be most relevant for their purpose. However, the economic field seems to need more indicators in order to be more useful for daily operation. Practical implications - This set of indicators may be beneficial for companies seeking relevant indicators to drive sustainability improvements. Originality/value - This paper takes a new perspective on SP, as it focusses on shop floor production, which is possible to influence for a production manager.
