Here is a short description and sample of projects which I am currently involved in. You will also find an invitation for manufacturing companies to show their interest in participating as case-studies for my thesis.
I am currently contributing to a book concerning Enterprise Modelling. The book is written together with staff and collegues at the Department of Production and Quality Engineering at NTNU. The idea to the book originates from the work with the IEMC99-conference to be held at Verdal in Norway 14th to 16th of june 1999. My contribution to this book is a chapter related to Production and Maintenance Management and how Enterprise Modelling may be utilized to enhance integration possibilities both from a technological and from a organizational point of view. Key-words:
- Lean production, agility,
pro-activity
- Metaphores of organiazations
- Organizational behavior
- Empowerment, Control areas
- Production Planning and Control Model
- Total Productivity Maintenance
- Object-oriented enterprise modelling
