Disruption Management in One-Off Production with Collaborative Digital Assistance Systems – Benefits of an Integrative Approach with a Generic Data Model

Disruption Management in One-Off Production with Collaborative Digital Assistance Systems – Benefits of an Integrative Approach with a Generic Data Model

Niklas Jahn, Tim Jansen ORCID Icon, Robert Rost
Disruptions inevitably occur in complex one-off projects causing effort and costs and delaying the progress. Nevertheless, disruption management is often inadequate in practice. Disruptions are only recorded locally and related information is documented in an unstructured manner. Many disruptions can only be solved by the interaction of several operational roles. However, disruption information is not easily available for all affected roles. By using digital assistance systems, disruptions can already be reduced due to an improved presentation of information. Nevertheless, unavoidable disruptions occur. There is potential for improvement in reducing the effort involved and mitigating the effects by reacting quickly. This paper shows how a generic data model can represent different disruptions and enables structured storage. Based on this, it is shown how access to disruption information can be improved by a digital assistance system. It enhances information quality by locating ...

Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication in Corporate Portals

Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication in Corporate Portals

Christine Thews
Nowadays it is not unusual that the R & D departments of global players might be spread over several locations worldwide. Whenever fast decisions are to be made in many times such an organization can lead to delays. Web based corporate portals with synchronous and asynchronous features of communication have been approved as a practical solution. Within a service oriented architecture it not only illustrates comprehensibly overlapping business processes, it also offers staff members so-called „Collaboration Services“ which substantially simplify teamwork.
