About

Yvonne Lagrosen is a leading researcher at the intersection of quality management and advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) and the industrial adoption of robotic in-line quality inspection. Her work critically examines why, despite significant academic development, key ZDM enablers like robotic inspection have not been widely adopted in practice—a gap she addresses through empirical studies in the Swedish manufacturing industry. Lagrosen has also made notable contributions to harmonising design and manufacturing processes, advocating for flexible manufacturing systems that maintain mass-production quality while meeting global, dynamic demands. Her research extends into Measurement Assisted Assembly (MAA) and fixtureless robotic systems, exploring how real-time digital measurements can correct operations and reduce propagation errors in assembly. With her most-cited paper, "Lessons from adopting robotic in-line quality inspection in the Swedish manufacturing industry," accumulating 10 citations, Lagrosen’s work is shaping the practical implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. Her insights are invaluable for students and researchers seeking to bridge the gap between theoretical ZDM frameworks and real-world manufacturing challenges.
