Increased sustainability and cost effectiveness through improved strategic decision-making in production issues based on new metrics system for production and development.
Virtually every company have implemented some kind of Business Performance Measurement System (BPMS) with the purpose of monitoring production and business performance and to execute business and corporate strategy at all levels in a company. As sustainability has become a focus area, new frameworks and measures have been introduced. There are however shortcomings in today’s industrial practice regarding BPMS such as:
The aim of the proposed project is to address these shortcomings in close collaboration within the project consortium, consisting of 3 universities, one research institute, 5 manufacturing companies and two consultancy firms. The industrial project partners are recruited to form a broad constellation regarding size, products, role and motivation for participating in the project. The project goals are to:
The objective is to increase efficiency and measurability in corporate management and production strategies integrating sustainability. This will in turn lead to reduced cost, increased resource efficiency and transparency in forthcoming decisions based on new principles and support.

With globalization and other megatrends as demographic changes and climate change, more knowledge is needed regarding production in an international perspective. PADOK Study Visit in India 2016 have given an increased knowledge regarding how production is conducted in India, some of the challenges producing companies in that region is facing and how Swedish companies interested in investing in production in India could act to establish themselves in the region.

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.

SeeCut focuses on cost-efficient production systems for secure collection, analysis, visualization, storage and sharing of production data. The project addresses the integration of new signals and sensors. For advanced products, like jet engine components, collecting data during manufacturing and usage is essential for quality assurance and remanufacturing. The project goals are to identify key technical requirements related to production data for use in digitalized value chains, define means to ease the run-time integration of new signals and data streams from manufacturing machinery and sensors, and define how to securely and cost-efficiently share data through the value chains in circular production.
