Kristina Säfsten

Kristina (Kicki) Säfstens forskningsintresse ligger inom operations management. Aktuell forskning där Kicki är eller har varit aktivt involverad berör på olika sätt gränssnittet mellan produktutveckling och produktion, med fokus på industrialisering och produktionsstart. För att exemplifiera frågeställningar som berörs kan några forskningsprojekt nämnas. I forskningsprojektet Robust START fokuserades snabb upprampning av produktionssystem. I projektet INTERFACE adresserades både gränssnittet mellan teknikutvecklig och produktutveckling samt gränssnittet mellan produktutveckling och produktion. I ett annat forskningsprojekt (KNOP) var fokus på lärande och utveckling av kompetens i samband med produktintroduktioner. I projektet INDUS togs ett vidare perspektiv och industrialisering av en försörjningskedja studeras. I det nu aktuella forskningsprojektet IDEAL är fokus på integrerade produkt- och produktionsplattformar med syfte att stödja agil och kunddriven produktframtagning. I detta projekt ingår fyra olika delprojekt, där Kicki leder ett delprojekt som fokuserar integration med hjälp av så kallade boundary objects. All forskning sker i nära samverkan med tillverkande företag, såväl mindre som lite större företag, regionalt samt nationellt.

Biografi

Civilingenjörsexamen 1991 vid Tekniska högskolan i Linköping (LiTH), inom maskinteknik med inriktning produktion samt med fördjupning på automatiserade produktionssystem.

Teknolgie doktor i monteringsteknik 2002 vid Tekniska högskolan i Linköping (LiTH).

Oavlönad docent i produktionsystem 2011 vid Tekniska högskolan i Jönköping (JTH).

Efter civilingenjörsexamen arbetade Kicki några år på Ericsson Telecom AB i Stockholm. År 1995 påbörjades foskarstudierna inom ramen för forskarskolan IMIE (International Graduate School of Management and Industrial Engineering) också det vid LiTH. 2002 disputerade Kicki inom ämnesområdet Monteringsteknik och påbörjade direkt därefter sitt arbete vid JTH som universitetslektor. Kicki antogs 2011 som docent i produktionssystem vid JTH och blev 2014 professor inom ämnet. Kicki är också engagerad i forskarutbildningen vid JTH och har under många år varit forskarutbildningschef vid JTH.
