“…Co-developing platforms or co-evolving of formal representation or documentation of products and manufacturing system help product developers to develop solutions based on the platforms. It is further argued that integrated product-process models are beneficial when designing, managing and operating changeable production systems [10]. Integrated models can be applied to enhance production/assembly system reconfigurability as well as transformability [1;12].…”

Research on product-process modelling has been significant over the last decade. In this paper, we present a literature review of 13 papers published in journals and conference proceedings between 2012–2019. The purpose of this paper is to review and classify the literature on integrated product-process modelling utilizing ontologies. Specifically, the objectives of the paper are; (1) to develop a classification framework that is based on the existing research on integrated product-process modelling; (2) to use the classification framework to synthesize what is known in this research area (qualitative issues that have been raised that are useful for both researchers and practitioners); (3) to use the classification framework to propose future avenues in this research area. The classification framework consists of three major categories; namely, (1) integrated product-process model’s application; (2) approaches to modelling; and (3) practical challenges for implementation of integrated product-process models. The classification of the published literature and the analysis provides insights for practitioners and researchers on the creation and accumulation of knowledge in the product-process modelling area and interconnecting of product and manufacturing domains. This paper is intended to highlight the importance of integrated product-process models utilizing ontologies and identify areas for future research areas.

Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems in Global Production Networks

This PhD dissertation is the result of a three-year research project at the Department of Materials and Production at Aalborg University in close collaboration with Vestas Wind Systems A/S. The project is motivated by an industrial need and research deficit of methods and models for the financial evaluation of reconfigurable manufacturing systems in global production networks.The research project aims to support decision-making to advance a paradigm shift in the production domain that can enable efficient adaptability and resilience to uncertain changes. These capabilities are needed to secure a competitive advantage in the global wind energy industry. The fierce competition amongst firms increases the introduction rate of larger wind turbines for the onshore and offshore markets. Like the markets, the production is global across multiple factories and countries. Supply disruptions, transportation restrictions, and localization requirements pressure the firms to produce near the demand. However, the demand fluctuates on variety, volume, timing, and location, requiring the production mix of the factories to be adapted accordingly. This imposes frequent reinvestments in capital-intensive assets, which is further intensified when using dedicated manufacturing systems.ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never believed I would complete a PhD project. I never even intended for university. Somehow, I find myself in this position. It required hard work, some luck, and, most of all, support from the people around me. I could not have done it without them.Firstly, I would like to thank my three supervisors, Thomas Ditlev Brunø, Ann-Louise Andersen, and Kjeld Nielsen. Without your support, advice, and guidance, I could not have managed the project. Ann-Louise, thank you for your encouragement to continue the PhD when I lacked belief. Thomas and Ann-Louise, thank you for forcing me to take a break when the pressure overwhelmed me. I would also like to thank Rasmus Andersen and Alessia Napoleone for the discussions and advice. A special thanks to my colleagues from Jönköping, Sweeden. Carin Rösiö, thank you for the opportunity to visit. Simon Boldt and Filip Skärin, thank you for our collaboration and friendship.Secondly, I would like to thank Vestas Wind Systems A/S, Manufacturing Academy of Denmark, and Innovation Fund Denmark for allowing me to conduct the research. My first industrial supervisor, Bjørn Christensen, thank you for opening the doors to Vestas and for your guidance. My second industrial supervisor, Mads Bejlegaard, thank you for picking me up, seeing my potential, and supporting my development. Michael Kofoed Dam, thank you for the warm welcome to the team and our field trips. Daniel Grud Hellerup Sørensen, thank you for the collaboration and advice. A special thanks to Henrik Espensen and Søren Damgaard for guiding me through the corporate maze and helping my work reach new heights up the corporate ladder.Last but not least, I would like to thank my family. The love of my life and fiancé, Aja Katrine Konnerup, thank you fo...
