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.
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
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.
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.

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.

Abstract:
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. Cetteapproche méthodologique en 6 temps est basée sur une approche processus avec une cartographie des systèmes desurveillance, un positionnement dans les principes de l’amélioration de la performance et le PDCA tout en s’appuyant surla norme ISO 9001 comme référentiel d’étude.Cette méthodologie a permis l’analyse des systèmes de surveillance dans le monde entier et l’évaluation desconcordances avec les exigences du RSI. Nous avons fait un parallèle avec la norme ISO 9001 afin de voir s’il étaitpossible de positionner un système dématérialisé comme les systèmes de surveillance des maladies épidémiques surun référentiel connu et éprouvé.Ce travail nous a amené à proposer un modèle basé sur le management de la qualité par la performance, plus soupleque la norme ISO 9001, trop rigide pour des systèmes dématérialisé comme les systèmes de surveillance qu’il convientmaintenant de rédiger et de déployer
The 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

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.
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.

CEPA Integrity First® (Integrity First), led by the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) and a condition of membership, acts as a foundation for continual improvement, bringing our members together to share and implement leading practices in the areas of safety, environment and socio-economics. Integrity First includes three principles and ten priority areas (such as emergency management, pipeline integrity and water protection) where members collaborate, share leading practices and hold each other accountable. Integrity First is a management systems approach designed by CEPA members for industry to achieve collaborative continual improvement. It supports the collective setting of priorities, plans, assessments and improvements. While spreadsheets enabled the first rounds of assessments, CEPA required a solution that engaged multiple stakeholders over a complex timeline, coordinated activities clearly and precisely, while keeping the process transparent and efficient. The information generated is sensitive, so it must be kept secure while still being available for aggregation, reporting and reference. It needed to house communication tools so members could easily pull information and lastly, it needed to be easy to use. In August of 2015, CEPA established a partnership with SPAN Consulting (SPAN) to address these challenges through its software as a service (SaaS) offering called Octane™. This paper will review how CEPA designed and implemented a technical, web-based solution to enable an efficient, effective and transparent Integrity First with transformative impact. Specifically, through the use of this technology, there are now stronger communities of practice across industry with increased focus and effort on the opportunities to improve through real-time self-serve access to industry’s overall benchmarked performance, leadership and leading practices. CEPA’s commitment to enabling Integrity First is resulting in better adoption and improved performance.

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.

Continued investigation of thermal and lidar surveys of building infrastructure : Crary Lab and wet utility corridor, McMurdo Station, Antarctica. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/43820.

Abstract:
We conducted a combined lidar and thermal infrared survey from both ground-based and Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) platforms at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, in February 2020 to assess the building thermal envelope and infrastructure of the Crary Lab and the wet utility corridor (utilidor). These high-accuracy, coregistered data produced a 3-D model with assigned temperature values for measured surfaces, useful in identifying thermal anomalies and areas for potential improvements and for assessing building and utilidor infrastructure by locating and quantifying areas settlement and structural anomalies. The ground-based survey of the Crary Lab was similar to previous work performed by the team at both Palmer (2015) and South Pole (2017) Stations. The UAS platform focused on approximately 10,500 linear-feet of utilidor throughout McMurdo Station. The datasets of the two survey areas overlapped, allowing us to combine them into a single, georeferenced 3-D model of McMurdo Station. Coincident exterior temperature and atmospheric measurements and Global Navigation Satellite System real-time kinematic surveys provided further insights. Finally, we assessed the thermal envelope of the Crary Lab and the structural features of the utilidor. The resulting dataset is available for analysis and quantification.

Abstract:
As the State of California continues to grow, demand for enhanced infrastructure such as roadways and highways escalates. In view of the current average highway lifespan of 15–20 years, the improvement of asphalt binders leads to material sustainability by decreasing required maintenance and increasing the lifespan of roadways. In the present investigation, enhancement of asphalt binder properties was achieved by different methods of mixing varying compositions of graphene nanoparticles with an SBS polymer and asphalt binder. Additionally, experimental evaluation and comparison of the rheological and mechanical properties of each specimen is presented. Graphene nanoparticles have attracted great curiosity in the field of highway materials due to their incredible rigidity, even in small quantities. Addition of as little as 1.0%nanoparticles in combination with polymers in an asphalt binder is expected to increase the rigidity of the material while also maintaining the beneficial polymer characteristics. Evaluation of the effect of the mixing design established that the methods for application of graphene to the polymer-modified asphalt binder are critical in the improvement of a roadway, resulting in resistance to premature aging and strain from constant road operation.
