Titel: Platforms in Product and Production Development – Evolution and Future Outlook

Abstract:

In this lecture, highlights from eleven years of research will be presented. The research has been devoted to manufacturability of components and their relation to manufacturing processes. Passed research has also been about setting up, tracing, and maintaining Design Automation systems. Further, product and production platforms have been a central part of the research and continuous to be. Therefore, this lecture will pay special attention to platforms and  look at their historical development and discuss what prospects they hold and what is expected to be required from them in the future.

Titel: Cast Iron Parts in Heavy Duty Vehicles

Abstract:

Heavy Duty Vehicles are vehicles performing some kind of heavy work. Often by transporting goods or transporting people. The vehicles from Scania CV AB have cast iron parts operating under very different conditions. The three cast iron types LGI (Lamellar Graphite Iron), CGI (Compacted Graphite Iron) and SGI (Spheroidal Graphite Iron) are all used by Scania since they are suitable for different applications. Some parts are exposed to high, cyclic, temperatures, other may in some climates experience very low temperatures. Furthermore there are for example high static loads, cyclic loads causing fatigue and different corrosive media to consider. Material properties of interest are not only strength but also thermal conductivity, mechanical damping and oxidation resistance. Material properties are generally  controlled by microstructural features as for example graphite shape and matrix structure. The microstructure is controlled by the chemical composition and by the manufacturing process. However, the properties are also limited by the presence of defects. It is not possible to cast 100% defect free parts, thus the defects need to be considered during the design process.

The development of cast iron parts at Scania focus not only on the actual material properties, but also on the possibility to model their behavior for optimizing the design and estimating their life length at different conditions. Models and tools are developed internally as well as in cooperation with academic partners. Two examples are the correlation between strength and microstructure for two cast iron types (LGI and CGI) and a diagram describing the static strength as a function of defect size in SGI.

This seminar will be presented by Natalie Rauschendorfer, Research Fellow at Friedrichshafen Institute for Family Entrepreneurship (FIF), Zeppelin University in Germany.

Tough on the outside, soft on the inside
the perception of signaling the family firm status in a consulting context

Natalie Rauschendorfer, Zeppelin University

Reinhard Prügl, Zeppelin University
Max Lude, Zeppelin University

September 30, 12:00-13:00 CET

Abstract: This work examines the consultants’ perception of family firms. Drawing on signaling theory, we investigated the impact of signaling the family firm status on the perception of consultants and how this affects their decision-making to work with family firms. To this end, we conducted an explorative choice experiment with N=179 consultants and collected qualitative data on the consultant’s motives to work with family firms to better understand the underlying cognitive mechanisms potentially explaining the results of the choice experiment. The results reveal empirical evidence of a bias towards family firms. In other words: consultants seem to favor family firms as clients over their non-family counterparts. Based on the qualitative data we were able to discover reasons for this finding and explore major decision criteria in favor or against family firms as clients of consultants.

Titel:
Human information processing at the core of work performance

Abstract:
Human activity at work is at the core of work processes that makes things happen in a production system. Activity is guided by human information processing and decision-making. However, the increasing complexity in working life due to globalisation, increasingly sophisticated technology and higher demands on competitiveness, places higher demands on human resources at work, particularly cognitive information processing resources. The human abilities and limitations in this respect therefore need to be emphasized in organizing work and providing suitable technical equipment for good outcome.

In this lecture I provide lessons learned from several research projects that highlight the needs to develop supportive conditions for human performance at work. This includes designing usability-centred technical equipment, organising work by developing supportive infrastructure as well as facilitating interactions for frontline staff, between functions and hierarchal levels in order to achieve good quality, productivity and health at work.
