| dc.description.abstract | In modern manufacturing, seamlessly integrating resources with the process structure is crucial for efficiency and product quality. This study investigates the value and challenges of connecting resource 3D models with the process structure and the consequences if the connection does not happen. Research quality is ensured by adopting the Design Research Methodology. The study conducted a thorough literature study to give a substantial theoretical background. Provided with the gathered information, semi-structured interviews were conducted, providing interviewees the flexibility to express their views on their terms and get deeper into subjects relevant to them regarding the project. Additionally, observations were conducted to understand how employees currently work in the system. The findings unfold an opportunity for improvement related to how the case company delivers instructions on how to build upcoming cars to the factory. In the current delivery of instructions and process structures, resource 3D models are not linked, often resulting in only the displaying of resource item numbers or empty fields. This challenge often results in significant time savings once resolved. Connecting resources not only enhances visualization and transparency but also fosters collaboration, breaking down silos within the organization. The project investigates two alternative ways of working for the future and looks into a possible interim solution. Since there are alternative solutions the project concludes with a recommendation for how to tackle this challenge most effectively in the future. A successful connection would gather all data related to the assembly operation in the same place, diminishing miscommunications and enhancing cross-functional collaboration. Consequently, significant time would be saved that otherwise would be spent on searching and contacting other departments to get an understanding of what is included in the assembly operation. | |
