The continuous improvement is crucial to increase the company's competitiveness in today's market. This paper proposes a multi-dimension simulation environment to test improvement programs in a flow shop context. The simulator developed tests the programs proposed in the literature: centralised, distributed and hybrid. The main original contributions of this research are: a simulation environment with higher details; the analysis of several performance measures as the throughput, lead time, work in process, average utilisation and the defected products for each workstation of the production line; the case of flow shop with multi-products. The experimental plan concerns the change of the following issues: set-up times, bottleneck position and process times. The flow shop without improvement programs is the benchmark of the performance measures. The simulation results show how the centralised policy is the better in a single product case, while the hybrid policy leads to the better results in case of multi-products.
持续改进是提高公司在当今市场上的竞争力的关键。本文提出了一个多维仿真环境来测试流程车间环境下的改进方案。所开发的模拟器测试了文献中提出的方案:集中式、分布式和混合式。本研究的主要原创性贡献是:具有更高细节的模拟环境;对生产线各工位的吞吐量、交货期、在制品、平均利用率、次品等性能指标进行分析;多产品流动车间的案例。实验计划涉及以下问题的变化:设置时间,瓶颈位置和处理时间。没有改进计划的流程车间是绩效衡量的基准。仿真结果表明,集中策略在单一产品情况下效果较好,而混合策略在多产品情况下效果较好。

Towards continuous strategy in software business 走向软件业务的持续战略
Q1 Multidisciplinary Pub Date : 2019-07-26 DOI: 10.1504/IJASM.2019.10022804

This paper examines the strategic planning in software-intensive businesses. As software-intensive businesses are going beyond agile and lean software development towards continuous deployment, it requires both continuous planning throughout the organisation and a link between strategy and software development. A better understanding of the strategic planning practices among software companies is needed to enable continuous deployment. However, the current literature does not yet address this issue. We conducted a multiple-case study involving three companies by interviewing 24 people in various roles and at different organisational levels. This study reveals an emerging need for continuous strategy in all cases. With a continuous strategy, we refer to the view that strategic planning can be an ongoing process without a predefined planning cycle. The case companies in our study were in different phases in adopting practices of continuous strategy. This paper highlights the reasons behind continuous strategy and describes the current practices of continuous strategy. Continuous strategy is especially vital for software companies dealing with turbulent business environments, but adopting the practices of continuous strategy is challenging. This study concludes that the main challenges are related to planning practices, transparency, communication and organisational structure.
本文研究了软件密集型企业的战略规划。随着软件密集型企业正在超越敏捷和精益软件开发,走向持续部署,这需要整个组织的持续规划,以及战略和软件开发之间的联系。需要更好地了解软件公司之间的战略规划实践,以实现持续部署。然而,目前的文献还没有解决这个问题。我们进行了一项涉及三家公司的多案例研究,采访了24名不同职位和不同组织级别的人员。这项研究揭示了在所有情况下都需要持续战略。对于连续战略,我们指的是这样一种观点,即战略规划可以是一个持续的过程,而没有预先定义的规划周期。在我们的研究中,案例公司在采用持续战略实践方面处于不同的阶段。本文强调了持续战略背后的原因,并描述了持续战略的当前实践。持续战略对于软件公司处理动荡的业务环境尤其重要,但采用持续战略的实践是具有挑战性的。这项研究得出的结论是,主要挑战与规划实践、透明度、沟通和组织结构有关。

Pair programming is a method that is widespread in the field of agile software development (ASD) and is acknowledged as state of the art of programming. This article initially addresses the question of what constitutes the key attributes of pair programming. Therefore, we analysed the extent to which these attributes can be applied to the development-related areas of human-centred design (HCD) and the quality assurance (QA) of software. The results of this analyses lead to the presentation and consideration of a new conceptual model for the application of the attributes of pair programming in the context of pair design (HCD) and/or pair testing (QA). The discussion shows that a transferability and application is appropriate and that both HCD and QA benefit, particularly in terms of the product quality and product throughput time.
结对编程是在敏捷软件开发(ASD)领域广泛使用的一种方法,被公认为编程的最新技术。本文首先讨论结对编程的关键属性是什么。因此,我们分析了这些属性在多大程度上可以应用于以人为本的设计(HCD)和软件质量保证(QA)的开发相关领域。这些分析的结果导致了对结对编程属性在结对设计(HCD)和/或结对测试(QA)中应用的新概念模型的提出和考虑。讨论表明,可移植性和应用是适当的,HCD和QA都受益,特别是在产品质量和产品生产时间方面。

The conventional value stream mapping (VSM) processes could improve the performance of the three pillars, due to its sustainability, cost effective and many additional benefits. However, it does not take into consideration both the environmental and societal metrics at the same time. In this work, the 'lean and environmental toolkits' proposed by US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, 2007) and the Malaysian Green Industry Auditor Guidelines (2014), was synergised. The work conducted at SME chromium plating company in Malaysia embeds different measures using the cleaner production (CP) technology in the novel VSM technique, and known as cleaner production VSM (CPVSM). This may promote the production line sustainability. This embedded technology has been proved to be an efficient visualisation process for the lean practices and able to promote a sustainable development at the implemented levels. The CP process implementation could also be improved and the lean manufacturing (LM) sustainability can be promoted.
传统的价值流映射(VSM)过程由于其可持续性、成本效益和许多额外的好处,可以提高三大支柱的性能。然而,它没有同时考虑环境和社会指标。在这项工作中,美国环境保护局(USEPA,2007)提出的“精益和环境工具包”和马来西亚绿色产业审计员指南(2014)得到了协同作用。在马来西亚SME镀铬公司进行的工作将使用清洁生产(CP)技术的不同措施嵌入到新的VSM技术中,称为清洁生产VSM(CPVSM)。这可能会促进生产线的可持续性。这种嵌入式技术已被证明是精益实践的有效可视化过程,能够在实施层面促进可持续发展。CP流程的实施也可以得到改进,精益制造(LM)的可持续性也可以得到促进。

Global software development (GSD) is a modern approach that is currently being adopted by software organisations, mainly because of significant return on investment it produces. In the GSD projects, the development teams operate under the three distributed dimensions: geographical, cultural and temporal distances which increases substantial communication difficulties and becomes the development activities more challenging especially related to requirement volatility. The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between requirements volatility, and GSD project success. We have proposed a GSD risk-based model that consider project performance risk as a mediating variable for analysing the impact of requirement volatility on GSD project success. A questionnaire study was conducted from the 103 GSD experts to validate the proposed model. The findings reveal that requirements volatility increases the project performance risk which has a negative impact on the GSD project success which can be managed by the flexible management.
全球软件开发(GSD)是一种现代方法,目前被软件组织所采用,主要是因为它产生了显著的投资回报。在GSD项目中,开发团队在三个分布式维度下操作:地理、文化和时间距离,这增加了实质性的沟通困难,并使开发活动更具挑战性,特别是与需求波动相关的活动。本研究的目的是确定需求波动和GSD项目成功之间的关系。我们提出了一个基于GSD风险的模型,该模型将项目绩效风险作为中介变量,用于分析需求波动对GSD项目成功的影响。对103名GSD专家进行问卷调查以验证所提出的模型。研究结果表明,需求波动增加了项目绩效风险,对GSD项目的成功有负面影响,可以通过灵活的管理来管理。

Agile manufacturing is an emerging approach of engineering to deal with dynamic demand of customer and market. The prime factors that influence agility are agile developers and enablers. Agile developers are mainly less investment factors that are basically governed by managerial power. To find out most important agile developers, a survey-based study was conducted with the aim to develop model for agility developers and measure its level in Indian manufacturing industries. It was hypotheses that sensitiveness to change, relationship with customer, relationship with supplier, flexibility and competency and responsiveness is not significant with agile manufacturing. The data were analysed by ANOVA test, different factor analysis techniques and a complete regression model for agile developer was prepared with the help of analytic hierarchy process. It was found that design excellence and decision flexibility variables have highest importance among all components and developers are being used almost at their 50% level.
敏捷制造是一种新兴的工程方法,用于处理客户和市场的动态需求。影响敏捷性的主要因素是敏捷开发人员和推动者。敏捷开发人员主要是投资较少的因素,这些因素基本上受管理权力的支配。为了找出最重要的敏捷开发人员,进行了一项基于调查的研究,旨在为敏捷开发人员开发模型,并衡量其在印度制造业的水平。假设敏捷制造对变化的敏感性、与客户的关系、与供应商的关系、灵活性、能力和响应能力不显著。通过方差分析、不同因素分析技术对数据进行分析,并借助层次分析法建立了敏捷开发人员的完全回归模型。研究发现,在所有组件中,卓越设计和决策灵活性变量具有最高的重要性,开发人员的使用率几乎达到50%。

The commercial concept of agility, when responding to humanitarian operations, has strong potential for increasing efficiency and effectiveness. The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of agility in the context of humanitarian operations, particularly cart festivals in India. This responds to the increasing pressure on festival organisers and public administrative officials to manage the festival and to control the crowd and other supporting facilities in a particular time window. Agility plays a major role in accommodating the unpredicted changes in cart festivals. Attempts are made to identify the factors which influence the agility of humanitarian operations. In this study, interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach is applied to find the interrelationships among the factors. Finally, it is found that the most influential factors are multi-skilled and flexible people, Informal learning and development, completeness and change of culture.
在对人道主义行动作出反应时,灵活性的商业概念具有提高效率和效力的巨大潜力。本文的目的是在人道主义行动的背景下,特别是在印度的推车节中,探索灵活性的概念。这是为了应对节日组织者和公共行政官员在特定时间窗口内管理节日、控制人群和其他配套设施的压力。敏捷性在适应推车节中不可预测的变化方面发挥着重要作用。人们试图找出影响人道主义行动灵活性的因素。在本研究中,应用解释结构建模(ISM)方法来寻找因素之间的相互关系。最后,研究发现,最具影响力的因素是多技能和灵活的人、非正式学习和发展、文化的完整性和变化。

Enterprise social media (ESM) is an open and public platform that facilitates employee discussions on work-related issues. However, researchers and practitioners are vague about the advantages of ESM usage in the workplace to handle the work related uncertainties. This study investigated whether and how ESM usage, psychological safety can be positively associated with employee's agility. Employee's agility is the ability of the employee to react and adopt environmental changes more promptly and appropriately. Based on information processing theory, this study examines employee agility by considering the mediating effect of communication quality. Data was collected from 167 employees who adopted ESM in the workplace, the existing study supports our proposed hypotheses and mediating effect. The findings confirm the significant role of ESM usage and psychological safety in improving employee agility through communication quality. This research study contributes to the existing ESM literature by investigating communication quality and its role in developing employee's agility in the context of ESM and suggesting managerial implications of ESM usage in improving the employee's agility.
企业社交媒体(ESM)是一个开放的公共平台,为员工讨论与工作相关的问题提供便利。然而,研究人员和从业者对在工作场所使用ESM来处理与工作相关的不确定性的优势含糊其辞。本研究调查了ESM的使用、心理安全是否以及如何与员工的敏捷性呈正相关。员工的敏捷性是指员工能够更及时、更恰当地应对和适应环境变化的能力。基于信息处理理论,本研究通过考虑沟通质量的中介效应来考察员工的敏捷性。数据收集自167名在工作场所采用ESM的员工,现有研究支持我们提出的假设和中介效应。研究结果证实了ESM的使用和心理安全在通过沟通质量提高员工敏捷性方面的重要作用。本研究通过调查沟通质量及其在ESM背景下培养员工敏捷性中的作用,并提出ESM在提高员工敏捷性方面的管理意义,为现有ESM文献做出了贡献。
