[2011-03-17] Professor Tobias C. Larsson has been a member of the core team behind the 2010 release of an Aviation National Research Agenda (NRA Flyg 2010). NRA Flyg 2010 was the result of a unique collaboration where companies, academia and institutes – together with relevant governmental agencies – have aligned themselves with respect to the future of Swedish aeronautical research....
Within the Master’s programme Sustainable Product/Service System Innovation (MSPI) we’re right now planning the project course PSS Extreme Innovation. We will put heavy focus on bringing in projects with true sustainability, innovation and renewal challenges from our partner companies in order to let our students deploy their skills in such a challenging environment as possible.
Objectives: SÅNÄTT is a collaborative project driven by the common goal of strengthening the competitiveness of the Swedish automotive industry through lightweight innovation. Academics, automotive suppliers and one vehicle manufacturer collaborated in the research and development of design concepts aimed to cost effectively reduce the weight of a classic family saloon by 20-40%. Increase supply chain collaboration to create new products...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Research into Design, ICoRD’11. Abstract Across industrial settings and environmental conditions, innovation is viewed as a source of advancing firms’ competitive position. Recently, a shift has been witnessed from the traditional innovation model, which mainly focused on internal research and development (R&D) towards open innovation. In this study, we...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Research into Design, ICoRD’11. Abstract In recent years there has been a growing interest among product development organizations to capitalize on engineering knowledge as their core competitive advantage for innovation. Capturing, storing, retrieval, sharing and reusing of engineering knowledge from a wide range of enterprise memory systems have become...
Research paper published in Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Research into Design. Abstract A manufacturing company’s unique intellectual capital is to a large extent built on experience from its own product development and manufacturing processes. Thus, methods and tools to utilize and benefit from this experience in an efficient way have an impact on a company’s ability to...
