Boosting up competitiveness and growth in manufacturing

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference article in proceedings › Scientific

Abstract

The lifetime of products in electronics industry has been rapidly decreasing during the last ten years, and there is no indication that the trend is going to change in the near future.The global dimension brings out new problems concerning large variety of models and thus increasing number of components and suppliers.The "single production line/single product" thinking has to give room for new thoughts about flexible multiproduct production systems.The whole factory environment must be flexible and scalable to meet the new production demands.In the future, it may be possible that the product development and production of goods are separated into different organisations to better meet the high demands and expertise set on each branch.
