Analysis of the effect of global climate change on ground source heat pump systems in different climate categories
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exhibit high thermal performance. Consequently, they are increasingly used to heat and cool buildings. The thermal performance of GSHP systems strongly depends on the operation ground ...
Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
