Q

What is innovation?

A
  1. The introduction of new ideas, goods, services and practices which are intended to be useful
  2. The conversion of new knowledge into economic and social benefits
  3. The application of ideas that are new, regardless of weather the new ideas are embodied in products, processes or cervices or in work organisation, management or marketing systems

Q

Example of product-production systems improvements

—> Composite materials

A

COMPOSITE MATERIAL
A macroscopic combination of two or more individual materials into one, with the intention to suppress the individual materials’ undesired properties for the benefit of the benefit of the desired properties

BENEFIT:

  • e.g. low performance but easy to process
  • allows functional integration and complex shapes in an efficient production process

Q

Scania’s modular system in a historical evolution?

A

Number of unique specifications increased linearly with the number of active parts between 1950- 1970.

Between 1970 and 2000 the number of active parts decreased with the number of unique specifications.

acting parts were growing from the 1950 in Scania until about 1970 where the number of active parts

Year 2000 we are on the same level as 1950 regarding the number of active parts per number of allowed specifications

Q

What is remanufacturing?

A

A used product is industrially renovated in order to assure quality

17
Q

How can meaningful remanufacturing be supported?

A
  1. Pave the way for easy remanufacturing of systems and components that have a low pace of development
  2. Pave the way for easy upgrading/replacement of components that have a high pace of development
  3. Pave the way for easy re-configuration of systems and components whose context-of-use differ much during life cycle
  4. Pave the way for easy re-configuration of systems and components whose context-of-use differ much during life-cycle
  5. Do not remanufacture goods that inherently have a short service life
18
Q

Example of product-production systems improvements

—> 3D printing?

A

BENEFIT:

  • Allows for very complex organic geometry along with structural and topological optimization
  • less weight
  • stronger

DRAWBACK:
- long production time

19
Q

When was the first patent filed?

A

In 1800 by Jacquard Loom
