auto id mobile information system for vehicle life cycle data management
Systems Man and Cybernetics, 2002Co-Authors: E Ajic, F ChaxelAbstract:This paper concerns the use of automatic identification devices (Auto-ID tags) as permanent escort memories associated to the Car during its whole life cycle. These memories provide an integration frame for vehicle lifecycle information, which are necessary to support the manufacturing, after-sales services and recycling processes. Additionally they will allow developing new value-added services for customers. Distribution of the information system onto each individual product requires tools and methods to manage and provide access to product related information for both automated systems and human operators. Automatic identification technology using electronic data Carriers can provide such functionality and act as product information vectors. The presented approach is based on ISO STEP technology to define computer-aided tools for data structuring and management of product knowledge implemented on mobile database nodes circulating in an open environment from manufacturing to recycling. This work has been conducted with a french Car Manufacturer.

solving the wire harness design problem at a european Car Manufacturer
European Journal of Operational Research, 2019Co-Authors: Mariesklaerder Vie, Nicolas Zufferey, Jeanfrancois CordeauAbstract:Abstract In many industries, increasing competition and high customer expectations compel companies to widen their product offering. Car Manufacturers face the same issue and tend to produce an increasingly large variety of models, with more and more electrical options. This leads to the design of a huge number of different electrical wire harnesses, but the use of component commonality can help reduce this number. This work, initiated in collaboration with a major European Car Manufacturer, provides a new mathematical formulation of the problem and several solution methods. Due to its size, the problem cannot be solved to optimality in reasonable time by exact methods. Hence, we introduce greedy heuristics, a descent method and a variable neighborhood search metaheuristic that provide high quality solutions in reasonable computing time. Results show that the use of these solution methods yields important cost savings with respect to the current practice of the company.

the dilemma of social media for german work councils representing qualified employees the case of a german Car Manufacturer
New Technology Work and Employment, 2021Co-Authors: Ronald Staples, Michael WhittallAbstract:The world of work is undergoing huge changes as a result of digitalisation. Part of this transformation process involves a growing demand for skilled employees—a section of the workforce that appears increasingly less reliant on the representative services provided by works councils. In the following article, we consider works council’s use of ICT tools to re‐engage with skilled employees, noting that current institutional and cultural contingencies appear to hinder its employment of ICT tools.

development of energy management system case study of serbian Car Manufacturer
Energy Conversion and Management, 2010Co-Authors: Dusan Gordic, Milun J Babic, Nebojsa Jovicic, Vanja M Sustersic, Davor Koncalovic, Dubravka N JelicAbstract:Abstract The procedure of development of energy management system applied to an existing company (Serbian Car producer “Zastava”) is shown in the paper. The aim of the paper is to provide a guideline for entrepreneurs in metal-working industry in implementing energy management system. First of all, paper includes: critical analysis of existing energy management system (energy matrix), principles of effective energy management organization (with energy manager and energy team in its structure) and energy management politics. Based on the results of energy auditing and performed technological and economical feasibility studies several energy saving measures related to different energy sources (steam, hot water, compressed air, electricity and water) were proposed, implemented and valuated. The proposed measures are not exclusively related to Car assembly industry; they can be easily applied to other metal-working facilities with minor modifications. Such energy management system reduces energy costs and increase profitability of a factory.
