The purpose of the research presented in this paper has been to characterize flexibility in lean mixed model assembly lines through exploring mechanisms used to achieve flexibility. The study combines a literature review and a multiple case study in two manufacturing companies. Scenarios of volume, mix and operation flexibility, as well as flexibility to introduce or remove products were studie...

We describe the form of the linear mixed-effects and generalized linear mixed-effects models fit by lmer and give details of the representation and the computational techniques used to fit such models. These techniques are illustrated on several examples.

This paper explores usage of mixed reality techniques as support tools for conceptual design. A proof-of-concept was developed to illustrate the combination of these two techniques. Using this as an example a small group of designers was interviewed to determine their views on the use of this technology. Several interesting applications were determined, suggesting possible usage in a wide range...

Applications of composite links and exploded likelihoods for generalized linear latent and mixed models are explored.

Let G be a mixed graph. We discuss the relation between the second largest eigenvalue λ2(G) and the second largest degree d2(G), and present a sufficient condition for λ2(G) ≥ d2(G).

The freely accessible geospatial information in Halden holds a very high standard. Based on this content and the proposed technology, the municipality enters a model of the house (garage, church, etc.) into the automaticallygenerated online 3D model of Halden. Both the public and the authorities can inspect the plan in Mixed Reality (MR) on-site using their preferred wireless device, and give f...
