Abstract
The increased digitalization of shop floors has provided unprecedented opportunities for real-time sharing of process and resource details. Visualization boards (VBs), which provide ubiquitous technology-enabled renderings of such details, salient to a local shop-floor setting, have the potential to play a significant role in this regard. Critical to the effectiveness of this role is the fit between VB design and shop-floor needs. In our study, we apply task-technology-fit theory in case examinations focused on identifying mismatch, implications of mismatch, and putative best practices in designs for future interventions. Our assessment capitalizes on both core operations management design principles as well as technology management design principles. We develop grounded propositions regarding guidelines that should be applied in future VB designs and deployments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Operations Management (JOM) is a leading academic publication dedicated to advancing the field of operations management (OM) through rigorous and original research. The journal's primary audience is the academic community, although it also values contributions that attract the interest of practitioners. However, it does not publish articles that are primarily aimed at practitioners, as academic relevance is a fundamental requirement.
JOM focuses on the management aspects of various types of operations, including manufacturing, service, and supply chain operations. The journal's scope is broad, covering both profit-oriented and non-profit organizations. The core criterion for publication is that the research question must be centered around operations management, rather than merely using operations as a context. For instance, a study on charismatic leadership in a manufacturing setting would only be within JOM's scope if it directly relates to the management of operations; the mere setting of the study is not enough.
Published papers in JOM are expected to address real-world operational questions and challenges. While not all research must be driven by practical concerns, there must be a credible link to practice that is considered from the outset of the research, not as an afterthought. Authors are cautioned against assuming that academic knowledge can be easily translated into practical applications without proper justification.
JOM's articles are abstracted and indexed by several prestigious databases and services, including Engineering Information, Inc.; Executive Sciences Institute; INSPEC; International Abstracts in Operations Research; Cambridge Scientific Abstracts; SciSearch/Science Citation Index; CompuMath Citation Index; Current Contents/Engineering, Computing & Technology; Information Access Company; and Social Sciences Citation Index. This ensures that the journal's research is widely accessible and recognized within the academic and professional communities.
