Understanding the complex needs of automotive training at final assembly lines

Repeating virtual assembly training facilitates memory for coarse but not fine assembly steps

“…Repeated practice is common when both expert and novice workers acquire a new assembly skill. New assembly sequences require workers to regularly execute extensive training on specially built hardware prototypes (Hermawati et al, ). Additionally, workers may practice new assembly tasks in virtual environments (Malmsköld, Örtengren, Carlson, & Svensson, ).…”

“…In the automotive domain, introduction of new car models and variants requires frequent adaptation of work procedures on the production line. For preparation, workers go through repeated practice sessions acquiring upcoming procedures with the help of preseries hardware prototypes (Hermawati et al, ). Disadvantages of hardware‐based training are effortful assembly and reassembly, as well as material wear‐off (Hermawati et al, ).…”

“…For preparation, workers go through repeated practice sessions acquiring upcoming procedures with the help of preseries hardware prototypes (Hermawati et al, ). Disadvantages of hardware‐based training are effortful assembly and reassembly, as well as material wear‐off (Hermawati et al, ). This problem can be solved by using realistic virtual simulations instead of hardware‐based training (Malmsköld et al, ; Moskaliuk, Bertram, & Cress, ).…”

Human-centered design (HCD) of a fault-finding application for mobile devices and its impact on the reduction of time in fault diagnosis in the manufacturing industry

“…The result of higher levels of complexity is an increasing demand in terms of the maintenance and servicing of machinery and plant due to a higher set of all possible malfunctions of the production system. Higher coupling across components of a process (Hermawati et al, 2015) leads to more complex disturbance chains following malfunctions (Woods and Hollnagel, 2006). As interruptions in production lead to higher costs, it is important to keep production downtime as low as possible (Jasperneite and Niggemann, 2012;Hermawati et al, 2015).…”

Education and training in coordinate metrology for industry towards digital manufacturing

“…Highly qualified labour force remains a key source of future growth, and a particular focus is needed on the automotive and aerospace sectors [8,9,10]. A key enabler for innovation is the competent use of advanced equipment for the 3D measurement and digitisation of parts, as needed for advanced product/process engineering and quality control in customer-supplier business-to-business (B2B) interactions.…”
