4 4 Innovation and Product Realisation Innovation and Product Realisation Magnus Wiktorsson is leader of IPR and Associate professor in Product and process development Phone: Innovation and Product Realisation, IPR, is one of six research and education areas at Mälardalen University. IPR takes a multidisciplinary approach towards industry s development and innovation processes for product Realisation. The goal is to provide support to industry to realize more ideas, and to improve the development of new products and systems. In MDH s research strategy for , IPR is prioritised as one of three development environment for MDH with a research of national relevance and international recognition. The research area Innovation and Product Realisation builds bridges between disciplines as manufacturing engineering, innovation management, information design, product development and industrial design. The idea is that the different disciplines and work practices can merge to create better products, processes and services, fulfilling requirements from stakeholders concerning efficiency, flexibility, openness, robustness, communication skills and changes in mind-sets. The research is conducted in close cooperation with industry and organisations, and is of high relevance to the academy as well as to the surrounding society. Our research base is to a large degree externally funded from funding agencies and research councils. We cooperate with other universities, institutes and companies in other parts of Sweden but also in the UK, Italy, US and India. We offer education on advanced level in English and have some 30 s in our post graduate education within Innovation and Design, combining personal development with academic stringency. We also take pride in designing a stimulating physical milieu with labs and studios. Research groups Design and Visualisation Innovation Management Product Realisation
5 Innovation and Product Realisation 5 Research groups Design and Visualisation Leader: Professor Yvonne Eriksson, yvonne.eriksson@mdh.se, We use design and interpretation processes to investigate and challenge thoughts and principles for production and organisation systems, aiming at optimal problem solving. The area includes research about idea, concept and product development with reference to processes in design and design processes. Today s design research aims at development of products, processes, services; and of milieus, interfaces and other informative interpretation supporting creativity and innovation. Members: Thorbjörn Swenberg, Jennie Andersson Schaeffer, Carina Andersson, Inger Orre, Anders Wikström, Ulrika Florin, Anna-Lena Carlsson, Yvonne Eriksson, Per Erik Eriksson. innovation management is more about influence and to give prerequisites for emergence of innovation, and less about plan and control of a linear process. Participation, communication, innovation maturity, dualities and emergence are some central concepts in the research where we focus on the patterns behind realisation of innovations. Members: Sten Ekman, Anette Strömberg, Bengt Köping Olsson, Carina Sjödin, Christer Nyström, Erik Bjurström, Erik Lindhult, Helena Karlsson, Magnus Hoppe, Mikael Johnsson, Nina Bozic, Peter E Johansson, Petra Edoff, Susanna Göransson, Sven Hamrefors, Tomas Backström, Åsa Öberg, Jayakanth Srinivasan, Roberto Verganti. Product Realisation Leader: Professor Monica Bellgran monica.bellgran@mdh.se, Innovation Management Leader: Professor Tomas Backström, tomas.backstrom@mdh.se, Innovation Management is about to lead and organize processes for improvement and new development of products, services, and production systems. The research focuses on innovation in collaboration and deals with: strategy, leadership, business intelligence, design, creativity, learning, and culture. Actors in the form of entrepreneurs and organisations are driving innovation and creating value in a market, in an organisation or in society at large. The innovation system includes internal and external actors that interact to achieve technological, organisational and social innovations. IPR s innovation management research considers innovation to be continuous non-linear development in circular processes of interaction between different actors. We use a complex system perspective where Product Realisation is the work that an organisation goes through to develop, manufacture, and deliver goods or services. Product realisation includes customer related processes, design and development, purchasing, production and service provision, and control of monitoring and measuring processes. Research on product realisation concerns the design, operations and improvement of these product realisation processes. IPR s research aims at creating new knowledge, understanding, and support for designing product realisation processes by creative elemental and applied research. By examples and guidelines we provide management support to manage crucial processes and aspects of product realisation. We show success factors, system requirements, enabling system and business solutions, management systems, and performance measures required for sustainable product realisation.

They promise to greatly expand design freedom and unlock totally new modes of product-user interaction, enabling us to take the next step in product design: using touch sensitivity and luminosity to produce simple, affordable and intuitive user interfaces so that eventually the product becomes the user interface. Light.Touch.Matters focuses on products for care and well-being applications that can help consumers feel better, monitor or improve their health and increase comfort, such as rehabilitation aids, wearable alarms, and diet coaches, though we expect strong spin-off to other sectors. Light.Touch.Matters will use a proprietary design-driven research methodology based a comprehensive body of industrial product design knowledge that has been built up over the past decades. It consists of iterated cycles of materials-inspired and design-driven materials research with direct and prolonged design-researcher interaction, leading to a convergence of the conceptual designs and feasible materials in 4-6 interaction showcases. Analysis of results will include end user value, commercial value and environmental impact (LCA/critical materials). The design-driven research on integrated piezo plastics and OLEDs can directly contribute to innovation and competitiveness in a large number of related sectors, many of which are strategic to the EU: not only design, (health)care and consumer goods, but also the chemical, automotive and printing industries, as well as mechanical-, electrical-, packaging- and systems engineering. Reducing maintenance-related waste Leader: Monica Bellgran, Marcus Bengtsson Members: Marcus Bengtsson, Antti Salonen Research Group: Product Realisation Start: Start: Partners: Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Global Trucks Operations, Leax, Volvo Car Corporation, Dyna- Mate Industrial Services Funding: VINNOVA, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems Overview: The purpose of the project Reducing maintenance-related waste is to develop and test a generic methodology that facilitates systematic maintenancerelated waste reduction in Swedish automotive manufacturing industry. Multiple case studies will be carried out. The goal of the methodology is to optimize maintenance activities and cost based on the relationships between maintenance effectiveness and efficiency while taking into account indirect and direct maintenance cost. Music in Motion - A Project that combines Arts with Science Leader: Baran Cürüklü Members: Afshin Ameri E., Jennie Andersson Schaeffer, Baran Çürüklü Research Group: Design and Visualization Start: End: Overview: Music in Motion aims to develop a system, which can be installed on any artifact of choice and interacts with people surrounding it, by composing and playing a unique tailored melody (in a broad sense of the word) for them. It will also recognize when there are several people interacting with the system and assign different sounds to each person, this way people can collaborate with each other to create a soundscape together. (Jennie Andersson Schaeffer is part of the Design and Visualization group)
