This paper is an application of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to the educational operations. The process of managing the practical training for students in one of the bachelor-degree program was chosen as the case study. Ultimately, the attempt of this research was to improve the process efficiency and reduce the failures of the particular process. Only top-five ranked failures were considered to reduce. By practice, FMEA can be used to pinpoint and analyze the failure modes; however, by itself FMEA cannot reduce the causes of failure. Therefore, other concepts were introduced to the research; customer relationship management (CRM) and quality function deployment (QFD). These two concepts operated in different angles. Their applications allowed to improve the process efficiency due to the causes of failure reduction. Since some of those failures were stated from the lack of connection and proper communication with organizations who offered the places for training. CRM was considered as the wise solution and it was applied to improve the efficiency of process and also to enhance the relationship with those organizations. Another failure was analyzed as resulting from the lack of student preparation. Accordingly, QFD was a support tool to design an intensive course for student preparation.

In this topic presentation we visit some of the positions that, being in minority, claim to dispute a growing role in technological systems design and development. The increasing complexity of technology, the widespread of technological use, and some recent discovers in neurosciences, deludes the boundaries between technology and its uses. ANT, interpretive approaches, qualitative methods, collaborative models, knowledge management and some reasoning among different research paradigms were the original setup for this topic (4.1 and 4.2). The submitted papers to subtopic 4.1 was not aligned, so we had a choice: either not accepting the papers submitted to this subtopic because they were out of scope, or accept them if they had the quality to be accepted. We choose the second. But as the subtopic stayed almost uncovered we explain in this short presentation what we had in mind when we opened it.

In this paper we propose a procedure for multicriteria collective decision-making problems. It is especially suitable for situations in which each member of a group offers imprecise information on his/her preferences about the relative importance of the criteria that have to be taken into account to obtain a ranking of a set of alternatives. In a first step the partial information on criteria weights provided by each individual is transformed into ordinal information on alternatives, and then the aggregation of individual preferences is addressed within a distance-based framework.

As a result of globalization, the Internet, and electronic collaboration tools, the design engineer now has the ability to direct design decisions based on actual supplier quotes much earlier in the design process. This allows the designer to make fact-based decisions on the design of components, the extent to which design for assembly and manufacturing techniques are applied, the use of common components, and the adoption of common architectures and shared platform elements. Additionally, cost modeling early in the new product development (NPD) process allows the design team to better meet cost targets once the product reaches the market. In this paper, a historical context on globalization and new product development is discussed. A framework for early cost modeling in the NPD process using the global supply chain is then proposed. An in- depth case study of a current design effort is detailed, highlighting the iterative design process using global cost modeling.

This paper outlines an organizational paradigm that influences the existing organization which desires to innovate and assure its continuity. Being in the epicenter of major organizational decisions requires from the leadership to enhance its awareness of the priorities and value dimensions during the organizational renewal. The organizational design and provided continuity concept do not target generalization but an applicable localized model that may induce positive changes in the individuals and organization, and create a condition in the organization that can provide an answer to the postmodern dilemmas. The renewal paradigm reflects organizational system thinking and meaning creation process that emphasize social dimension of the organizationpsilas actions while managing the change across cultures. The renewal paradigm in the postmodern environment requires an organizational setting that supports learning of change, knowledge, and innovation. The paper considers external and internal factors of change, ethical standards and values, and concepts that may determine the pace of the organizational renewal, recovery and break away.

In todaypsilas banking industry, 24 times 365 hours of service availability is of utmost importance to gaining competitive advantage. Proper IT contingency planning (ITCP) for disaster recovery (DR) insures business continuity and optimizes investment. This research investigates fundamental requirements of each banking business unit for mapping criticality of business continuity to DR readiness. The process assesses the recovery time objective (RTO) and the recovery point objective (RPO) to assure business continuity within a maximum tolerable period of disruption (MTPD). The ITCP model serves as decision-support standards and rationale for choosing the most appropriate disaster recovery solution for differing business unit requirements.

Collaborative networks are typically assumed to bring clear benefits and competitive advantage to the participating members. However, as the networks are typically formed by heterogeneous and autonomous enterprises, the development of methodologies that facilitates the management process is an important element for the wide adoption of this paradigm. Departing from a brief presentation of the Critical Chain Project Management approach, the paper introduces this approach to collaborative networks and discusses its potential application in the context of a dynamic production networks. Finally, experimental results based on data from a network in construction industry are presented.

Although patent analysis is a powerful technique to forecast the future of technology, it is not obvious whether the analysis is applicable to technology forecasting over all industries. Since the strategies of firms to protect their innovation vary among patents and trade secrets according to the characteristics of industries, patent analysis might be inappropriate to some industries. Therefore, this paper aims at improving the usefulness of patent analysis in TF by identifying relevant industries which the patent-based TF can be used in. To this end, first, sectoral differences in patenting activities will be investigated, presenting implications from patent activities, innovation patterns and patent statistics. Second, the applicability of patent trend analysis for technology forecasting will be explored in each industry by applying S-curve fitting with patent data. Finally, the method to improve the performance of patent-based TF will be suggested. The comparison of patent application status will make technology forecasting accurate, considering a time lag between R&D investment and patent application of the technology. This process will provide a good vehicle for precise TF by clarifying the application of patent analysis.

Several people who are interested in the challenging possibility of producing an innovative light aircraft that utilizes hydrogen as a fuel, have decided to join their efforts in a collective project that involves researchers from different Departments of the Politecnico di Torino and a start-up company from the internal incubator. The main technical decisions were made during the first phase of the decision process, and the others are quite easy to make but the information on the consequences of making or buying decisions, in terms of time, cost and risk, are not shared and are often not present in the context in which the project develops. The authors were invited to participate in order to support project management, i.e. to facilitate communication, coordination and decision-making. The paper proposes our methodological approach to face uncertainties and complexities of these multi-actor decision processes and presents the description of how the tools we chose for this application were integrated and used to elaborate and represent alternative solutions, to collectively evaluate and choose and to create a communication space for the project.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the dynamics of industry transformation in the pulp and paper industry (PPI). The potential impacts of technological discontinuities are analysed by using a foresight tool, the Delphi method. The primary source of information for the PPI industry and emerging printed functionality and hybrid media industries were collected in a three-round Delphi study in the end of year 2006. The knowledge of the chosen industry experts represents the following groups: experts in printed functionality (specialist), industry experts from universities and research institutes (generalist), and business managers and executives (industry). In addition we use alliance data to evaluate the current state of inter-industry cooperation between ICT and PPI sectors. The paper provides insights into how technology expansion and the creative cooperation mechanism might affect the future evolution of industries. Printed functionality represents a promising opportunity for paper companies to find new uses for fibre-based materials and a possibility to lead the industry into a new era of products. Printed functionality can be characterised mainly as an internally driven competence-enhancing innovation for traditional paper companies, which can change the dominant design in the existing industry. An overall view resulting from this study is that printed functionality provides a promising future area for innovations and new business for many industry branches. Therefore it offers an interesting area for future cooperation between the involved industries. It is clear that effective printed functionality strategies must depend upon cohesive alliances and partnership within the value chain. Complementary innovations from many fields are needed for successful commercialisation.
