Abstract [en]

The product realisation process is one of several formalized supports for industrial actors to excel in concurrent engineering procedures. To satisfy customers today mass customization is increasingly in need, requiring delicate modular architectures, both in product designs and production. Emerging is also the digitalized co-platforming era of automating the synchronization of product and production platforms. Yet, in all these processes, humans as agents have different roles, objectives, and mental models that governs their decision-making, being the bearer of separate ideas on what to optimize from their end. In product development large sensitivity is given to customer demands and trends to design attractive products, while less attention may be placed on evaluating the increase of variation into the production flows from new products, potentially increasing the workload and complexity of assembly systems, as well as, the subsequent material logistics. In production, much effort is invested to increase standardization, increase the pace, and minimize the manufacturing cost, with the objective to minimize required changes to the current production system. Consequently, it is a hard problem to satisfy all criteria at once, and how to solve it has no clear answer. Therefore, this study has applied qualitative System Dynamics modelling, also often referred to as systems thinking, to investigate how these opposing views were represented at an industrialized house builder. The purpose was to explore and model the perspectives and mental models of two leading roles to model their conflicting objectives. As a result, an overall model of main interactions of product and production development is proposed to support interpreting the findings, visualize the identified conflicting dynamics, and work as a vehicle for analysis.

Abstract [en]

With shrinking product life cycles and increasing competitive pressure, the traditional way of developing production systems is becoming obsolete. A longer-term perspective that considers the stream of product realisation projects to be implemented in the production system over its lifetime is required. Because of the success of different platform strategies in the product domain, platforms in the production domain are deemed a viable avenue for exploration to reach longevity in production capabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to support a long-term view of production development through production platforms. This aim is addressed through two research questions (RQs). RQ1 is ‘What challenges and enablers exist for long-term production development?’ and should identify hindrances and good practices towards reaching long-term production development. RQ2 is ‘How can a platform approach support long-term production development?’ and describes how a platform approach for long-term production development could be. Four studies were conducted and reported in the four appended papers. The research is based on an interactive research approach with three empirically-based studies and one systematic literature review. The findings indicate that production development is conducted from a short-term perspective. Several challenges were identified regarding long-term production development, as well as the fact that the use of production platforms is not applied in industry. Further, the production platform literature is found to be still rather limited but it has been concluded that production platforms are an approach to describe the production system and its assets to facilitate reuse. Support for achieving long-term production development is presented, including production capability mapping (PCM) support. PCM support enables platform descriptions to be generated and used as a foundation in long-term production development to create a production system that possesses a higher ability to absorb changes. 

Abstract [sv]

Med krympande produktlivscykler och ökande konkurrens är det traditionella tillvägagångssättet att utveckla produktionssystem föråldrat. Det behövs ett långsiktigt perspektiv som tar hänsyn till strömmen av produktrealiseringsprojekt som ska implementeras i produktionssystemet under dess livstid. För att nå långsiktighet i produktionsförmåga anses framgången av olika plattformsstrategier inom produktdomänen vara en indikator på att plattformar inom produktionsdomänen kan vara en livskraftig väg att utforska. Syftet med denna forksning är att stödja långsiktighet i produktionsutveckling genom produktionsplattformar. Syftet adresseras genom två forskningsfrågor. Den första forskningsfrågan är ”vilka utmaningar och möjliggörare finns för långsiktig produktionsutveckling?” och syftar till att identifiera hinder och bra tillvägagångsätt för långsiktig produktionsutveckling. Den andra forskningsfrågan är ”hur kan ett plattformstillvägagångssätt stödja långsiktig produktionsutveckling?” och beskriver hur andvändingen av plattformar för långsiktig produktionsutveckling kan se ut. Fyra studier genomfördes och rapporterades i de fyra bifogade publikationerna. Forskningen är baserad på en interaktivt forskningsmetod med tre empiriskt baserade studier och en litteraturstudie. Resultaten indikerar att produktionsutveckling genomförs med ett kortsiktigt perspektiv. Flera utmaningar identifieras mot långsiktig produktionsutveckling. Produktionsplattformar är inte en implementderad metod för långsiktig produktionsutveckling och litteraturen kring produktionsplattformar är fragmenterad. Däremot dras slutsatsen att produktionsplattformar kan vara ett tillvägagångssätt för att beskriva produktionssystem och dess tillgångar för att främja återanvändning. Ett stöd för att kartlägga produktionsförmåga (PCM- stöd) presenteras i denna avhandling som stöd för att nå långsiktig produktionsutveckling. PCM- stödet möjligör att plattformsbeskrivningar kan genereras och agerar som basen i långsiktig produktionsutveckling för att skapa produktionssystem som besitter en hög förmåga att absorbera förändring.
