A thesis project is a good way to gain independent insight into current issues and new ideas and perspectives. It is also a way of fostering closer cooperation with universities and colleges.
A recently completed project is Modeling of Life-Limited Spare Units in a Steady-State Scenario, a master’s thesis by Sara Hallin at the institute for mathematics at the Royal Institute of Technology. Her thesis deals with the problems faced when modeling spare parts with limited life span in OPUS10 and the best way to handle it.
In addition, there are two ongoing theses at Systecon. In one of them, Filip Malmberg is investigating how to build a model from a social-economic perspective for resource dimensioning and capacity analyses for regional rail traffic. His work is using rail traffic in Skåne in southern Sweden as an application case. In the other thesis, Max Wikander is studying how to create a more refined model to measure the demand for preventative maintenance by assessing the consequences of certain simplified hypotheses made in OPUS10.
Through the years several of Systecon’s previous Master’s students have won prizes for the year’s best thesis within Availability, Maintenance, Lifecycle Economy and Asset Management. The prize is awarded every year by the Swedish Asset Management Association. These are examples on how we are leading development together with universities and colleges.
