A New Set of Principles for Pursuing the Lean Ideal in Engineer-to-order Manufacturers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)For many years, lean production has been successfully applied in large companies producing high volumes of standardized products. However, companies which operate in dissimilar environments have yet to expose a suitable ... -
Addressing the Performance of Order Acceptance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While there are many mathematical approaches to order acceptance (OA), the performance of OA in practice is overlooked. This paper assesses current OA methods and performance measures that could measure OA. The outcome is ... -
Advancing empirical evidence of iteration stereotypes in the fuzzy front end of product development processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In this paper we corroborate and advance insights about iteration characteristics in the fuzzy front end (FFE) of product development processes (PDPs). We captured the characteristics of 122 iterations embedded in design ... -
Beyond Lean and Six Sigma; Cross-collaborative Improvement of Tolerances and Process Variations-A Case Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Good tolerance- and variation management is essential to achieve high value adding products with cost-effective processes. The link between Tolerance Engineering and popular manufacturing improvement philosophies such as ... -
Creating Dynamic Requirements Through Iteratively Prototyping Critical Functionalities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This paper introduces the wayfaring model for requirement generation. Rather than pre-fixing requirements, we propose exploring unknown unknowns, and suggest finding and adapting the emerging set-based requirements while ... -
Creating your Own Tools: Prototyping Environments for Prototype Testing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Evaluating prototypes through prototype experiments is an essential part of most early stage, exploratory, product development processes. The rate at which prototypes are tested is often high and even incremental improvements ... -
A Cross-disciplinary, cross-organizational approach to sustainable design and product innovation in the aluminum industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aluminum is a promising sustainable and industrial resource that provides strong, lightweight structures with complex geometric possibilities, a high recovery rate in the recycling process, and low-emission production when ... -
Dealing with Ecological Validity and User Needs when Developing Simulation Based Training Equipment – Case Study of a Medical Palpation Task Trainer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Simulation-based training offers a safe and repeatable environment where users can increase their skill level. Development of products facilitating such training is, however, faced with high uncertainty and ambiguous ... -
Design for Excellence to Explore Complex Product Service Systems: A Case Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Complexity in new product development is claimed to continuously increase, causing challenges that require new and cross-disciplinary solutions. There are at least three major forces causing upheaval in the way we are ... -
Efforts on Capturing Prototyping and Design Activity in Engineering Design Research
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Prototyping is one of the core activities of product development, and understanding prototyping should therefore be of great interest to both researchers and professionals. Yet, when considering the many definitions of ... -
Enablers and inhibitors of Industry 4.0: results from a survey of industrial companies in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Since 2011 when it was announced, Industry 4.0 has inspired a series of governmental and private programs worldwide. Nevertheless, it is an emerging research field and the academia calls for further explorative research, ... -
Exemplifying Prototype-Driven Development through Concepts for Medical Training Simulators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This paper attempts to exemplify prototype-driven development in the early stages of product development, the stages before requirements and specifications are fixed. This pre-requirement phase provides opportunities and ... -
Globally Distributed Engineering Processes: Making the Distinction between Engineer-to-order and Make-to-order
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper explores how the organizational and technological requirements of globally distributed engineering processes differ for make-to- order (MTO) and engineer-to-order (ETO) production and highlights potential research ... -
High-Pressure Cooling in Turning of Inconel 625 with Ceramic Cutting Tools
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Machining of heat resistant aerospace materials such as Inconel 625 or Inconel 718 is characterized by low cutting speeds, high tool wear rate, and high production costs. The machinability of heat resistant super alloys ... -
Investigating Organizational Knowledge Transformation Capabilities in Integrated Manufacturing and Product Development Companies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In today’s fierce economic climate, many product manufacturing firms recognize that their knowledge process with regards to product realization becomes an increasingly important factor. However, it is challenging task for ... -
Learning in Product Development: Proposed Industry Experiment Using Reflective Prototyping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)This article discusses the aspect of learning activities in product development by leveraging a strategy for capturing and transferring tacit knowledge through the extensive use of reflective prototyping. With the overall ... -
