The aim of this thesis is to investigate the impact of wireless pressure transmitters used in the test drive process. The objective is to examine how this method affects the process lead time, costs, and occupational safety. Wireless pressure transmitters are expected to improve the efficiency of the process, but this has not yet been studied. The research aims to present concrete observations of these effects.
The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach. The theoretical framework covers concepts related to processes, various process development methods, and process metrics. The empirical part of the study examined the current state of the process through observation, thematic interviews, internal company documents, a time study, and analysis of the time study results.
The results of the study indicate that wireless pressure transmitters have a positive effect on the test drive process. The research shows that the process lead time is shortened, and reduction can be quantified. The process becomes more cost-efficient, and work-related safety risks can be reduced or even eliminated.
