Innovative Production Education in Co-operation – an intrument in Produktion2030

Project time: 2014 – 2018

Budget: 5 000 000

Funding: SIP Produktion2030

Purpose and goal

The aim with this project is to facilitate world class education in Production through establishment of a national graduate school. Graduate School Produktion2030 has been established and 169 registered student members has been examined on 1 551,5 higher education credits from 32 graduate courses. The courses w ere offered from strong research environments w ithin Production at several Sw edish universities w ith support from additional institutes and industry.

Results and expected effects

Five courses started fall 2014, eleven during 2015, seven during 2016, and nine during 2017. Courses have been offered within all but one of Produktion2030’s areas of strength. A course within the last area of strength is planned during 2018 (in a new project). During the project old courses have been replaced by new ones to fill gaps of needs and competence.

Approach and implementation

Courses (WP3.1-2) were initiated according to plan but some were delayed in their execution. Some were delayed to enable for more participants, some to enable for complementary assignments.
Administration required more resources than planned for. An additional administration role was established in 2016. More participants than planned for (such as course providers, reference group members and doctoral students) as well as course change management can explain the increase in administration.

Tailored Tool Surfaces for Robust and Sustainable Hot Stamping

Tooling constitutes a significant part in the economical investment of the hot stamping process. Significant benefits in production economy and environmental benefits can be attained by improving the tribological performance in hot forming operations of automotive components. The main idea of this project is to create tailored tool surfaces on dies made from cheaper and easier to manufacture tool steel for the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steels.
