Designing Traceability - The Effects On Production Personnel : A Case Study of a Swedish Steel Manufacturer / Utveckling av spårbarhet och dess påverkan på produktionspersonal : En fallstudie av en svensk ståltillverkare

This study sets out to investigate the connection between digitally achieved traceability and the production personnel's view of traceability. The results presents a number of factors to consider when designing traceability solutions in a manufacturing setting. The study was conducted in a qualitative manner, with the main data collection done through interviews. The results show that the production worker's stand point towards traceability is based on three factors: performance measurement, surveillance, and increased workload. Each of these factors should be taken in to consideration when designing traceability solutions. These factors, and suggestions for how to work with them, is put into the context of a steel manufacturer that is in the process of implementing traceability in their production process.
