Abstract:
Geschäftsprozesse stellen ein wichtiges Gut eines Unternehmens dar. Für den Unternehmenserfolg sind nicht einmalig optimal gestaltete Prozesse entscheidend, sondern die Fähigkeit, schnell auf neue Entwicklungen reagieren und die betroffenen Prozesse flexibel anpassen zu können. In vielen Unternehmen ist eine aktuelle Beschreibung ihrer Prozesse als wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Prozessverbesserung jedoch nicht oder nur unzureichend gegeben. Nicht selten wird ein erstelltes Prozessmodell nicht weiterverwendet, so dass es nach kurzer Zeit von der betrieblichen Realität abweicht. Diese fehlende Übereinstimmung kann durch die Nutzung von Prozess-Mining-Technologien verhindert werden, indem das in den Informationssystemen implizit vorhandene Prozesswissen automatisiert extrahiert und in Form von Prozessmodellen abgebildet wird. Ein weiteres wichtiges Element für die effiziente Gestaltung und Steuerung von Prozessen bilden Referenzmodelle, wie z. B. ITIL und CobiT. Die Prozessverbesserung durchläuft in der Regel mehrere Analyse-, Design-, Implementierungs- , Ausführungs-, Monitoring-, und Evaluierungsschritte. Die Arbeit stellt eine Methodik vor, die die Identifizierung und Lösung der auftretenden Aufgaben unterstützt und erleichtert. Eine empirische Untersuchung zeigt die Herausforderungen und die Potenziale für den erfolgreichen Einsatz von Process-Mining-Techniken. Auf der Basis der Resultate dieser Untersuchung wurden spezielle Aspekte der Datenaufbereitung für Process-Mining-Algorithmen detailliert betrachtet. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Bereitstellung von Enterprise- und RFID-Daten. Weiterhin beleuchtet die Arbeit die Wichtigkeit, die Referenzprozessausführung zu überprüfen, um deren Einhaltung in Bezug auf neue oder geänderte Prozesse zu sichern. Die Methodik wurde anhand einer Reihe von Praxisbeispielen erprobt. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen ihre generelle unternehmensübergreifende Anwendbarkeit für die effiziente kontinuierliche Prozessverbesserung.<br>The 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.

Abstract:
The high adoption rate of cloud computing technology is changing the strategic, operational and functional aspects of businesses. Though, as cloud computing is seeing massive global investment, the vast concentration of resources and information argues for new sources of vulnerabilities and challenges for the cloud computing adopters. Hence, the cloud computing technology is argued to see its full potential once solid information security is established. There has been a palpable development of theories, guidelines and standards of how to implement, maintain and continually improve a security information management system. The outcome has resulted in recognized standards. However, the comprehensiveness and the complexity to implement, maintain and continually improve a security information management system remain. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how cloud computing oriented firms succeed with the realization of an information security management system. This was done by identifying frameworks and processes used by cloud computing oriented organizations.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação<br>Hoje 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.<br>Nowadays Organisations are constantly trying to get competitive advantages on their Peers.

Abstract:
In highly competitive industries where firms aren’t protected by barriers to entry and consumers’ preferences are constantly changing, the willingness and ability to adapt and continually improve operations may be critical for continued success. However, the internal exchanges between employees and managers that may be an integral part of the development and implementation of new ideas are often not modeled or included in our standard economic theories. In this research I investigate whether a higher level of employee voice (or employee input) predicts higher levels of continual improvement, and whether this continual improvement predicts higher levels of firm performance. Additionally, I will study whether humble managers keep this process going by fostering an environment where employees feel free to provide input. If this chain of events can help us better understand differences in firm performance then perhaps we can enhance our models by measuring and including these internal firm characteristics instead of simply leaving them inside the error term and calling them “unobservable.” Results across three separate studies show that humble managers are more likely to be perceived as making continual improvements and higher levels of perceived continual improvement leads to both greater levels of employee voice and fewer perceived job obstacles. A pilot study involving two separate quick-food restaurant chains also lends support for the above ideas, but uses sales in dollars as the measure for performance. Additionally, holding the employee constant in a fixed-effects analysis shows that the same employee is more likely to voice ideas to a manager he or she reports as continually improving the way things are done.

Le nouveau Règlement Sanitaire International (RSI) de 2005 adopté par l’OMS a posé les règles d’une nouvelleorganisation et de règles pour une meilleure coopération entre les Etats et un renforcement des actions de l’OMS enfaveur de la lutte contre les maladies épidémiques.L’application du RSI est complexe pour les Etats et nécessite une organisation qui doit être soutenue par un guideméthodologique opérationnel.Nous avons analysé leurs organisations pour comprendre quels étaient les points de faiblesse et tenter d’y répondre parun référentiel de management simple, adapté et cohérent vis à vis des systèmes de surveillance.Pour obtenir ce résultat nous avons développé et déployé une méthodologie appliquée au niveau mondial.

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

Abstract:
Este trabalho aborda a avaliação do processo de projeto e desenvolvimento do produto do ponto de vista do projetista de nível superior. Ao fazê-lo, o autor espera estar pavimentando um caminho, que eventualmente, conduza a um método mais amigável de avaliar a qualidade do processo de projeto do produto e que possa vir a ser realmente considerado útil por divisões e/ou organizações de projeto. As razões para a seleção desta abordagem são explicadas. Ressalta-se também, que o trabalho envolve duas fases: a pesquisa preliminar e a pesquisa propriamente dita. Apresenta-se em seguida uma discussão que conduz à seleção de uma metodologia que combina a utilização da abordagem SERVQUAL e do método do incidente crítico (CIT) na primeira fase. Introduz-se o conceito central de fator de eficácia, bem como se estabelece suas relações com os itens de satisfação e as dimensões SERVQUAL. Com base nos resultados da fase preliminar, elabora-se um questionário de pesquisa abrangente, que é submetido a um grupo de projetistas de nível superior do setor automotivo, compreendendo as operações brasileiras de duas grandes montadoras internacionais, de dois fornecedores diretos (Tier 1) das montadoras e de uma grande montadora internacional de caminhões e ônibus. Os dados obtidos através das respostas ao questionário são compilados, apresentados e discutidos dentro de cada ambiente organizacional. Faz-se então uma análise conjunta, a fim de identificar aquelas ações gerenciais consideradas pelo setor automotivo como sendo mais importantes, tanto para garantir, quanto para avaliar a eficácia do processo de projeto e desenvolvimento do produto. Classifica-se essas ações em ações gerenciais de garantia e de avaliação de acordo com critérios fornecidos pelas normas ISO da qualidade. Finalmente, com base nas ações gerenciais de avaliação, define-se indicadores e se propõe um índice de eficácia único e flexível, que pode ser calculado utilizando-se, tanto dados organizacionais, quanto setoriais para fins de avaliação e benchmark.<br>This 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.

Abstract:
Abstract Inhibition additives for hydrochloric acid usage in North Sea oil wells require adherence to regulations calling for continual improvement in environmental characteristics while maintaining performance. Some operating companies have conditions that require the acid system to perform at temperatures above 320°F (160°C). Other companies’ temperature requirements are for much milder conditions. Therefore, a system that meets current environmental standards and the broad range of temperature requirements is desirable. This study details a new inhibitor/intensifier system that meets these broad range requirements for protection of common alloys in low pH fluids.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper discusses the process followed to justify a corrosion management solution affecting a CO2 removal plant in Moomba Central Australia. CO2 removal is via Benfield units which have suffered significant corrosion events since the early 1980’s. These events have been hard to detect, have consumed vast quantities of engineering time and have led to expensive and time consuming repairs. Engineering solutions to stop the corrosion events were identified but for valid reasons were not implemented. The reasons why the engineering solutions were not implemented is discussed along with how this corrosion problem was successfully addressed in 2006 through a process of continual improvement. The cause of the corrosion was seen mainly as an asset integrity or corrosion engineering (technical) issue, which meant the human or organizational cultural issues associated with implementing a solution were not identified and addressed. Once these cultural factors were addressed the solution was planned, scheduled and implemented and is used here as an example to illustrate how these (non technical) cultural barriers can be overcome.

Abstract:
Abstract Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a major challenge for different process industries. Today it is managed in many ways, ranging from full removal of insulation to minimal maintenance, including some inspection methods with insufficient non-destructive testing. These extremes exhibit a lack of understanding and systematic approach in managing the CUI risk, globally. A joint industry project (JIP) on CUI has developed a methodology that would help identify, assess and mitigate the CUI risk in a systematic manner. Living in the age of digital transformation, the resulting recommended practice is being digitalized into a web tool that will offer its users an industry-recognized best practice in managing the CUI risk of their assets. The users will have the possibility to share their knowledge and learn from other users’ experiences through a Global CUI Database. Such synergy across the industries will enable a continual methodology improvement and future development of the machine learning within the tool. Furthermore, a separately developed feature uses digital twins of the assets, linked with assets’ integrity data and other relevant data, providing more efficient communication and work processes. The goal of the tool is to ensure safe and reliable operations, and thus – improve the safety of life, property and the environment.

Abstract:
At the second national Professional Nurse Advocate Conference (PNA) (November, 2024) a co-creation Workshop was organised with delegates with the ambition of creating a set of Principles for PNAs who are leading Quality Improvement (QI) work. We heard that the role of PNAs undertaking QI, typically involves learning about systems and processes, which are unfamiliar to them when they first commence QI work. Sometimes QI work is based inter-departmentally or may have been a legacy of work generated across a wider organization – e.g., beyond their clinical area. We also learnt that in some community settings the QI infrastructure (seen in larger acute NHS organisations), may not exist. Based on this understanding our insights were that some QI work can be difficult to navigate, complex and despite initial PNA Programme training in the methodologies and improvement tools, further support is needed for PNAs to initiate QI. To address variances in the delivery of the PNA Programme, the Royal College of Nursing (2023) was commissioned by NHS England to produce Education Standards. Standard 3 “Enabling nurses to undertake personal action for quality improvement states”: critically appraise the role of the PNA in contributing to continual development and innovation in care so that quality improvement becomes part of everyone’s practice.

Abstract:
The proposed in-use safety and security monitoring scheme can serve as an essential feedback mechanism for continual improvement of how the AV safety assurance scheme manages safety. In-use monitoring data can support in identifying changes and assessing their impact. However, making a change without due consideration of the impacts to all stakeholders may lead to increased regulatory inefficiency, undue burden on manufacturers and operators and may ultimately lead to worse safety outcomes. This document outlines a change control process to manage and implement change throughout the entire AV safety assurance scheme to formally capture all learnings and provide feedback to identify, assess and implement positive change.

Full text
Abstract:
In tertiary contexts where adults study writing for future academic purposes, teaching and learning via portfolio provides them with multiple opportunities to create and recreate texts characteristic of their future and imagined discourse communities. This paper discusses the value of portfolios as vehicles for rehearsing membership of what Benedict Anderson (1983) called “imagined communities”, a concept applied by such scholars as Yasuko Kanno and Bonny Norton (2003). Portfolios can achieve this process of apprenticeship to a specialist discourse through reproducing texts similar to the authentic artefacts of those discourse communities (Flowerdew, 2000; Hyland, 2003, 2004). We consider the value of multi-drafting, where learners reflect on the learning of a text type characteristic of the students’ future imagined community. We explore Hamp-Lyons and Condon’s belief (2000) that portfolios “critically engage students and teachers in continual discussion, analysis and evaluation of their processes and progress as writers, as reflected in multiple written products” (p.15). Introduced by a discussion of how theoretical perspectives on learning and assessing writing engage with portfolio production, the study presented here outlines a situated pedagogical approach, where students report on their improvement across three portfolio drafts and assess their learning reflectively. A multicultural group of 41 learners enrolled in the degree-level course Academic Writing [AW] at a tertiary institution in New Zealand took part in a study reflecting on this approach to building awareness of one’s own writing. Focus group interviews with a researcher at the final stage of the programme provided qualitative data, which was transcribed and analysed using textual analysis methods (Ryan and Bernard, 2003). Students identified a range of advantages of teaching and learning AW by portfolio. One of the identified benefits was that the selected text types within the programme were perceived as useful to the students’ immediate futures. This careful choice of target genre was reflected in the overall value of the programme for these learners.

Abstract:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) owns or operates 236 locks at 191 sites (HQUSACE 2016). Although the locks at these sites generally perform reliably, more than half of these structures have surpassed their 50-year economic design life and as such, there are increasing concerns about their continued safe, reliable operation. This work was undertaken to review lock operating equipment, maintenance practices, records pertaining to accidents and equipment failures, and lighting systems; to identify alternative improvements to equipment and equipment maintenance practices; and to analyze and compare those alternatives to determine and recommend optimal solutions. This report documents some lessons learned, primarily to share information that others might find useful. Note that the recommendations in this report should not be viewed as policy, although some might be considered by those creating policy.
