Worker-Driven Improvement of Processes in Smart Factories
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an approach to collaboratively improving processes in smart factories. It is based on the idea of a meta-process for continuous improvement that involves all stakeholders. The participation of human workers is seen as vital and is fostered using a set of technologies including wiki-based social software and the S-BPM approach to process management. The paper shows how these technologies have been incorporated in a tool developed in the ongoing Factories of the Future project SO-PC-Pro.

متن کاملUsing Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Prediction of Knowledge Worker Productivity Based on Real Coded Genetic Algorithm
Improving knowledge worker productivity has been one of the most important tasks of the century. However, we have few measures or management interventions to make such improvement possible, and it is difficult to identify patterns that should be followed by knowledge workers because systems and processes in an organization are often regarded as a death blow to creativity. In this paper, we se...
