Reflektiv produktion – Industriell verksamhet i f\uf6rnyelse

This book, a sort of summarization of the authors\u27 insights and experiences regarding group work as well as alternatives\ua0to assembly line work from their own scientific perspective, which was made available in 1992. That is, in the (very specific) period of time (or turbulence) while the assembly plants in Uddevalla and Kalmar were closed down (the former assembly plant was closed down first, while the other was shut\ua0down approximate a year later).This book has been published by Volvo (AB Volvo Media, ISBN-number: 91 9761 604). It has been\ua0published by Arbetslivsutveckling with the editors Lars Cambert and Glenn Carlsson at this department. Moreover, the content has been validated\ua0by a number of Volvo experts and discussed at a seminary (among other things, each of these experts\ua0had to provide written comments to\ua0the two editors etc.).A comment: This publication is authored together with e.g. senior research competencies\ua0(1) within vocational learning and training as well as (2) within time-geography\ua0with\ua0whom Engstr\uf6m have had long time cooperation procedures.

Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy in growth hormone-deficient adults.

This study evaluated water compartment assessment by bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) by Xitron 4000B in 164 growth hormone-deficient adults on growth hormone replacement therapy, examined the assumed constant body density and gender-specific resistivities in BIS methodology and evaluated a published BMI-adjusted BIS equation. Body composition was measured by BIS, total body potassium (TBK), tritium dilution and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Tritium dilution and TBK were combined to a reference method for water compartments. Average difference for total body water (TBW) by tritium dilution and by BIS was 0.6 l in women (p > 0.05) and -0.2 l in men (p > 0.05). Average extracellular water (ECW) by the reference method and by BIS differed 1.5 l in women (

Reflective Production in the Final Assembly of Motor Vehicles - An Emerging Swedish Challenge

Presents some theoretical principles and empirical evidence relating to the new Swedish production systems for final assembly of motor vehicles. Contends that in these production systems it is possible simultaneously to enhance efficiency and quality of working life. Briefly sketches three production forms as they apply to the final assembly of automobiles and discusses the societal environments in which these different forms of production have evolved. It focuses on Volvo Uddevalla plant as one of the main examples so far of a reflective production system for final assembly of automobiles. Amplifies the analysis of different production flow patterns for final assembly and in particular addresses the issue of semi‐parallel mechanistic production flow and parallel organic production flow as alternatives to serial flow on a conventional line assembly.A comment: This publication is authored together with e.g. senior research competencies\ua0(1) within vocational learning and training as well as (2) within time-geography\ua0with\ua0whom Engstr\uf6m have had long time cooperation procedures.
