Gerke, Kerstin. "Continual process improvement based on reference models and process mining." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16353.
Full textThe dissertation at hand takes as its subject business processes. Naturally they are subject to continual improvement and are a major asset of any given organization. An optimally-designed process, having once proven itself, must be flexible, as new developments demand swift adaptations. However, many organizations do not adequately describe these processes, though doing so is a prerequisite for their improvement. Very often the process model created during an information system’s implementation either is not used in the first place or is not maintained, resulting in an obvious lack of correspondence between the model and operational reality. Process mining techniques prevent this. They extract the process knowledge inherent in an information system and visualize it in the form of process models. Indeed, continual process improvement depends greatly on this modeling approach, and reference models, such as ITIL and CobiT, are entirely suitable and powerful means for dealing with the efficient design and control of processes. Process improvement typically consists of a number of analysis, design, implementation, execution, monitoring, and evaluation activities. This dissertation proposes a methodology that supports and facilitates them. An empirical analysis both revealed the challenges and the potential benefits of these processes mining techniques’ successful. This in turn led to the detailed consideration of specific aspects of the data preparation for process mining algorithms. Here the focus is on the provision of enterprise data and RFID events. This dissertation as well examines the importance of analyzing the execution of reference processes to ensure compliance with modified or entirely new business processes. The methodology involved a number of cases’ practical trials; the results demonstrate its power and universality. This new approach ushers in an enhanced continual inter-departmental and inter-organizational improvement process.

A indústria farmacêutica tem aprimorado seu sistema de gestão de acordo com a evolução dos conceitos de qualidade e de normas internacionais.A conformidade com os requisitos regulatórios fortalece a disposição da implantação deste sistema. Uma análise qualitativa do processo permitiu identificar oportunidades de melhorias. Algumas ações foram propostas, a fim de contribuir para o aprimoramento da gestão do processo, e consequentemente, para garantir a detecção de não-conformidade que podem influenciar na qualidade e produtividade do processo de fabricação de produtos farmacêuticos.
The pharmaceutical industry has improved its management system according to the evolution of the concepts of quality and international standards. Compliance with regulatory requirements will strengthen the deployment of this system. A qualitative analysis of the process has identified opportunities for improvement. Some actions were proposed in order to contribute to the improvement of the management of the process, and consequently, to ensure the detection of non-compliance that may influence the quality and productivity of the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals products.

Full textHoje em dia, Information Technology (IT ) tem assumido um papel importante, focado na necessidade de gerir e suportar sistemas de informação que podem ajudar as Organizações a alcançar os seus objectivos. Muitas Organizações têm optado por um modelo de prestação de serviços de IT, transferindo a sua gestão para Outsourcing. No entanto, se os processos de Gestão de Serviços que servem de suporte para entregar os serviços de IT ao Negócio, não estiverem implementados e geridos de forma apropriada, provavelmente a Organização sofrerá degradações ou interrupções inaceitáveis, perdendo horas de produtividade ou até provocar danos que compromentem a sua imagem ou, em casos extremos, levar à extinção da própria Organização. Neste trabalho implementou-se a abordagem Continual Service Improvement, CSI, uma das partes das boas práticas ITIL, no Processo de Gestão de Alterações de forma a contribuir para o alinhamento de IT com as, grandes orientações do Negócio. Apesar de não ter sido possível recolher dados que permitiseem compreender o grau de de contribuição da abordagem seguida, esta revelou-se apropriada para o redesign do processo de Gestão de Alterações de foma a alinhá-lo com as melhores práticas ITIL.
Nowadays Organisations are constantly trying to get competitive advantages on their Peers. National larger companies have followed the governmental model based on Information Technology Service Management so it can better to answer to strategical directions. With this approach, we implement Continual Service Improvement method on the processes which deliver their outcomes as Business Services, contributing to align Information Technology to Business goals.

Full textThe new International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005 adopted by WHO has set the rules of a new organization and therules for improved cooperation among states and for strengthening WHO's actions in fighting epidemics.Implementing IHR is complex and requires states to put in place systems that must be supported by an operationalmethodology guide. We analyzed their organizations to understand what were the weak points and to try to remedy by simple managementprocesses adapted and coherent with surveillance systems. To achieve this result we have developed and implemented a methodology applied worldwide. This methodological framework in 6 phases is based on a process approach with a map of surveillance systems, positioning in the principlesof performance improvement and the PDCA, while relying on ISO 9001 as a reference. This methodology has enabled the analysis of surveillance systems worldwide and assessing consistency with the IHR requirements. We made a parallel with ISO 9001 in order to determine if it was possible to introduce a dematerialized system as in the case of epidemic disease surveillance systems, using a known and proven reference framework. This work led us to propose a model based on quality performance management, more flexible than the ISO 9001, which is too rigid for dematerialized systems such as surveillance systems

Full textThis work approaches the subject of product design process evaluation from the designer?s point of view. In so doing, the author hopes to be paving the way that may eventually lead to a more ?friendly? method of evaluating the quality of the product design process and which may actually be found useful by design divisions and/or organizations. The reasons for selecting such an approach are explained. It is also pointed out that the work involves two phases: Preliminary research and research proper. Then, a discussion is made leading to the selection of a methodology combining SERVQUAL and the critical incident technique (CIT) for the first phase. The central concept of effectiveness factor is introduced and its relationship with satisfaction items and SERVQUAL dimensions is established. Based on the results of the preliminary phase a comprehensive questionnaire is drawn up, and submitted to a selected group of designers in the automotive industry, comprising Brazilian plants of two major car manufacturers, two tier 1 suppliers and one major truck (lorry) and bus manufacturer. Data provided by the answers to said questionnaire are compiled, presented and discussed within each organizational environment. A joint analysis is then carried out in order to identify those management actions that are considered by the automotive industry as being more important for both assuring and evaluating the effectiveness of the product design and development process. Assurance and evaluation management actions are classified according to criteria supplied by the ISO quality management standards. Finally, based on the evaluation management actions indicators are defined and a single and flexible effectiveness index is proposed, which can be calculated using both company and industry data for evaluation and benchmark purposes.
