30hp - Developing a decision-Support module for permanent magnets
Introduction
Thesis work is an excellent way to get closer to Traton and build relationships for the future. Many of today's employees began their Scania/Traton career with their degree project.
Background
Are you passionate about contributing to sustainability and circularity? This master's thesis project aims to enhance transparency and circularity in the lifecycle of permanent magnets. The research will be conducted primarily within the materials team at Traton, in close collaboration with research institute, and academia partners.
Objective
Develop a decision-support module in an LCA environment for permanent magnets by modelling the material flows and environmental impacts across the upstream supply chain and downstream end-of-life pathways, enabling comparison of alternative sourcing, eco-design, and circularity strategies.
- How can the upstream and downstream material flows of NdFeB permanent magnets be represented in an LCA-based decision-support module?
- How do downstream process affect the environmental performance and circularity potential of permanent magnets via downstream module?
- What information generated by the LCA model can support material selection and circularity-related decision making during product development?
Job description
This thesis project will involve literature study, module developing, analysis, and reporting. You should have a solid understanding of material and process flow analysis, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and good digital proficiency.
