Research interest:
The Productivity Potential Assessment Method (PPA) is the main focus of my research. The method encompasses a wide variety of questions and subjects within the area of manufacturing systems. Of special interest are methods for improving productivity of manual work, a subject long time neglected by industry and academia. My Ph.D. thesis treated manufacturing systems development in early phases, with focus on requirement specifications and formal methods and standards.

Teaching:

MTT050 Industrial Engineering
MPR152 NC-CAM
Guest lectures on Design for assembly (DFA) in several courses.
