Towards a learning curve theory for batch production (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Chatzimichali, A., & Tourassis, V. (2008). Towards a learning curve theory for batch production. . https://doi.org/10.1109/IEEM.2008.4737890

Consumer attitudes and fashion trends often impose severe constraints in manufacturing. When market needs for varied product designs lead to product competition for a place in the production schedule, batch size and available production time are depr...

An empirical investigation of learning curve laws in the tile manufacturing industry (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Chatzimichali, A., & Tourassis, V. (2007). An empirical investigation of learning curve laws in the tile manufacturing industry. . https://doi.org/10.1109/IEEM.2007.4419364

The ceramic tile manufacturing industry is under constant strain today due to the competitive environment worldwide and to the changing patterns of consumer behavior. Despite its highly automated production lines, the industry is becoming less of a m... Read More about An empirical investigation of learning curve laws in the tile manufacturing industry.

Function over form: A basic dilema in the evolution of social robots
Presentation / Conference
Chatzimichali, A., & Tourassis, V. Function over form: A basic dilema in the evolution of social robots. Paper presented at The 6th International Conference Management of Technological Changes

In the near future, robots and automations are expected to enter into our daily lives for service and assistance to humans. But the question is, are these systems actually designed to interact with people in every day setting? In this paper, we focus...
