Abstract [en]

To shift the focus from a reactive development approach to a purely proactive approach is a comprehensive and decisive challenge. Reconfigurable manufacturing principles offer a new perspective that emphasizes adaptability over obsolescence. This paper aims to explore how automotive industries include reconfigurability and circularity in production system design to prolong the production system lifetime. In a multiple case study within automotive industry the long-term view in machining system development has been investigated. The results show that the companies try to leave the linear approach behind to look beyond the specific project boundaries and enable a system to be reused over time. There is an awareness of the importance to adopt long-term approaches to achieve a circular mindset and the study reveals that machining systems are characterized by a higher flexibility and higher degree of standardization to enable turbulence in requirements. Still, there are methods required to consider future needs, strategies, and technologies to enable reconfigurable and circular systems.

Abstract [en]

Disruptions in supply chains, changing customer requirement, and fluctuating volume demands create a production situation where companies need to have the ability to reconfigure the production to stay competitive. However, to implement reconfigurable production solutions efficiently, identifying the current state of reconfigurability is necessary. Several methods for assessing and evaluating reconfigurability have been proposed previously but as reconfigurability might be unfamiliar to companies, difficulties in profoundly understanding the field exist. In order to aid manufacturing companies in initially evaluate their reconfiguration ability, the purpose of this paper is to picture the introduction of changeability in the industrial practice and aid manufacturing companies in initially evaluating their current reconfigurability. The paper introduces a rapid reconfigurability assessment method that will support this introduction. The tool includes the assessment areas of Modular system, Standardized interfaces, Mobility of Equipment, and Volume/Product variety capability, i.e., elements directly related to reconfigurability. To ensure industrial application of the tool, it was tested jointly by practitioners and researchers in multiple manufacturing companies. In the application of the tool, the current ability of reconfigurability amongst the companies was identified and dialogues regarding the development towards a more reconfigurable production was initiated. This enabled the possibility for realizing the adjustments in production to cope with disruptions and changes.

Abstract [en]

Increasingly volatile and complex manufacturing environments make the continuous development of engineering professionals’ knowledge and competences in changeable and reconfigurable manufacturing a major source of competitiveness in manufacturing companies. Enablers of this include modular and platform-based product and manufacturing system design, as well as industry 4.0 related technologies and digitalisation. Therefore, this paper focuses on Continuing Engineering Education (CEE) in changeable and reconfigurable manufacturing and investigates the implications of applying a university-industry collaborative approach to Problem-based Learning (PBL) for CEE in company-settings. The paper builds on a four-year CEE initiative from Swedish manufacturing industry and includes insights from implementing a CEE course in changeable manufacturing, which was designed based on PBL principles and run as an industry-university cooperation for four consecutive years. Implications addressed in the paper relates to (1) PBL as a suitable approach for CEE, (2) Research transfer to industry through PBL-based CEE, and (3) industry-university collaboration for CEE, which provides valuable insights on how to conduct successful CEE in knowledge fields that are fast evolving in order to enable fast industry transitions.

Abstract [sv]

Livslångt lärande (LLL) är ett för JTH prioriterat område att utforska. Under slutfasen av det KKS-finansierade Expertkompetensprojektet Premium, uppstod ett behov av att utreda hur arbetet med kurser för yrkesverksamma vid Tekniska Högskolan i Jönköping (JTH) kunde bli långsiktigt hållbart. Erfarenheter från tidigare projekt som Gjutmagistern, Smarter och WebLearn visade på behovet av kompetensutveckling för yrkesverksamma. Samtidigt fanns en insikt om att det inte var långsiktigt hållbart att bedriva utbildningsaktiviteter enbart inom ramen för externt finansierade projekt.

Utifrån den övergripande strategin vid Jönköping University har JTH formulerat följande mål fram till 2025:

”Långsiktig konkurrenskraft för individer och svensk industri genom medvetna satsningar på det livslånga lärandet. Utbildning är en färskvara och i det livslånga lärandet vill Tekniska Högskolan vara en självklar partner till svenska industriföretag för kompetensutveckling inom alla områden kopplat till kunskapsintensiv produktrealisering, men även till för individer som önskar kompetensväxla eller kompetensutvecklas. Genom detta skapas långsiktig konkurrenskraft för svensk industri på en global marknad. Erbjudandet ska till innehåll vara styrt av efterfrågan och i utformning anpassad till yrkesverksamma”

År 2022 skrevs aktiviteten: ”Att utreda hur kurser för yrkesverksamma/livslångt lärande ska drivas och hållas ihop vid Tekniska Högskolan och även utreda hur en central sammanhållande roll/funktion skulle kunna se ut ”, in i JTHs verksamhetsplan. En arbetsgrupp (författarna) fick i uppdrag att genomföra utredningen 2022 - 2023. Livslångt lärande definieras här som aktiviteter/verksamheter som syftar till att kompetensutveckla yrkesverksamma i olika former.

Arbetet har innefattat en kartläggning av hur JTH arbetar med LLL i nuläget samt en omvärldsanalys. Baserat på kartläggning och omvärldsanalys har rekommendationer och beslutsunderlag getts för fortsatt inriktning till JTHs ledningsgrupp. Arbetet avslutades med att kartlägga vilka funktioner och aktiviteter som krävs för att stödja vald inriktning samt hur en central sammanhållande roll och funktion för LLL vid JTH skulle kunna definieras och utformas. Denna rapport summerar det arbetet vilket genomförts inom ramen för projektet Premium.

Abstract [en]

The traditional way of developing production systems is often limited by merely considering an imminent new product. The longevity of a production system’s lifecycle is at risk following this approach and may create a focus on the current functionality and capacity rather than on fulfilling future product requirements. Changeable production address this challenge, however, support for production engineers to consider more changeable solutions is lacking. Thus, this paper proposes support for evaluating production capabilities and mapping how new products may impact the production system. The support is developed in two industrial cases which studied current production capabilities and future requirements put on two automatic assembly lines. The support allows for estimates of the cost of repurposing the assembly lines to accommodate the new products and paves the way for seeing beyond the dedicated manufacturing paradigm towards increased levels of changeable production.

Abstract [en]

Circularity is most often related to resource usage directly affected by products. However, as manufacturing companies hugely affect global warming, enhancing resource utilization throughout all activities and practices of a manufacturing company is crucial. Not knowing where to start carrying out circularity practices in manufacturing might lead to the neglection of doing so. To aid manufacturing companies in initiating their journey towards circularity and to get a rapid insight into current circularity practices, this paper introduces an industry applicable assessment tool providing insight into the plant’s current state of circularity practices based on rapid plant assessment methodology. The developed rapid circularity assessment consists of 20 theoretically derived questions and 10 categories within key areas of circularity. It has been tested in five Swedish manufacturing companies enabling an iterative development process, as well as validation of questions and categories.

Abstract [en]

Reconfigurability is widely acknowledged as a foundation for achieving sustainable manufacturing, while also being an enabler for establishing circular manufacturing. However, further clarifications of how reconfigurable manufacturing can support sustainable manufacturing are necessary. Thus, there is a need to further investigate how reconfigurability can help companies in achieving sustainable manufacturing and to identify future research directions. In this paper, a literature review was conducted to categorise, describe, and summarise the previously conducted research on reconfigurable manufacturing in relation to sustainability. The literature review was conducted in the database Scopus and 265 papers were initially reviewed. After excluding papers not fulfilling the inclusion criteria, 79 papers were analysed in detail using five different categorisations. Based on these categorisations, the previously conducted research on sustainability and reconfigurable manufacturing was analysed. Several frequently discussed sustainability focus areas were identified and described, as well as suggestions of future research directions.

Abstract [en]

Manufacturing companies must significantly reduce their negative environmental impact, while simultaneously needing to be capable of managing changing customer requirements and increasingly fluctuating volume demands. These constraints require discontinuing developing production systems in line with the outdated and unsustainable linear economy, wherein the system is design and developed for short term production only. In this paper, it is motivated how a production system is distinguished from a product and why state-of-the-art circular economy theory must be adapted to production systems in order to deal with these issues. Furthermore, based on theory and inputs from workshops with participants from the industry, a conceptual framework for circular production system is proposed. In the proposed circular production systems, the principles of circular economy is adapted in order to maximize resource utilization and prolong the lifetime of the production system. Challenges towards the circular production systems have been identified through workshops and potential solutions described. Lastly, future research directions for further developing the circular production system is presented.
