The present study investigates the integration of Lean and Sustainable manufacturing (LSM) practices to improve the market competitiveness of Indian manufacturing organizations. The study aims to explore the critical role of stakeholder commitment to drive both sustainable manufacturing and lean practices with their impact on manufacturing competitiveness. In the study a survey-based approach was
Bakgrund: Den kurativa behandlingen för resektabla lokalt avancerade stadier av cancer i munhålan innefattar i regel en kombination av kirurgi och radioterapi (RT). Huruvida RT bör ges först och därefter följas av kirurgi, eller om tumören bör opereras bort först, följt av RT postoperativt, har dock inte studerats i någon större omfattning.Syfte: Denna avhandling undersöker olika aspekter av pre- Background: The curatively intended treatment for resectable locally advanced stages of oral cavity cancer (OCC) generally involves a combination of surgery and radiotherapy (RT). However, whether to apply RT first and then proceed with surgery, or to resect the cancer and subsequently administer RT, has not been extensively studied. Aims: This thesis examines various aspects of pre- versus postop
A diagonalisation procedure of the Foldy-Wouthuysen type is considered for the single-electron Dirac Hamiltonian as a basis for many-body applications. A modified procedure is suggested. In the diagonalisation procedure the Dirac equation is completely decoupled into two equations of the Pauli type. The expressions for positive- and negative-energy projection operators in the transformed basis are
Timber’s sustainability benefits make it an attractive construction material, but public concerns about fire safety remain a challenge. Many associate timber buildings with higher fire risks, particularly in taller structures, despite trusting regulations and professionals to ensure safety. This highlights a gap between public perception and technical knowledge. Designers have a professional respo
In this paper the choices of control variables and control structures are investigated for the Open Plate Reactor. Since the process design is very flexible, it allows many different control structures and variables and it may be non-trivial to find the most suitable choice. Analysis with the Relative Gain Array indicates that the flexible process configuration of the OPR enables a decentrali
In today’s highly competitive market place it is of great importance for companies to deliver reliable products while decreasing the development time and costs. The time to market is a driving force for many companies, and throughout the engineering design process as well as the manufacturing process, the focus is on finding timesaving actions. However, the search for timesaving actions will most
