PublicationIntegrate or separate: lean and digitalization programs through the lens of boundary work management( 2024)Purpose-Although benefits are promising, many companies face problems leveraging synergies between Lean and Digitalization at the program management level. This paper aims to identify activities to manage the boundaries of Lean and Digitalization programs. Design/methodology/approach-The research design follows a cross-industry multiple-case study approach. A total of 14 interviews were conducted with Lean and Digitalization experts from 10 companies. Interview quotes were mapped on a pre-defined list of descriptive codes and iteratively merged and excluded. Findings-We identified 12 activities by which companies manage the boundaries of their Lean and Digitalization programs. Three distinct boundary management approaches could be identified: collaborative, configurational, and competitive. A collaborative approach fosters governance, the belief in synergies, and the development of combined artifacts. A configurational approach creates combined responsibilities, assesses areas of collaboration, and fosters interaction across the organization. A competitive approach creates unclear responsibilities and exchange, perceives no added value in integration and follows separated implementation of Lean and Digitalization programs. Originality/value-This study sheds light on the boundaries of Lean and Digitalization programs and identifies activities to manage them. We derive propositions for the Lean and Digitalization program management. Moreover, this study positions itself at the forefront of research investigating how integration of Lean and Digitalization actually occurs or does not occur.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Manufacturing Technology Management

PublicationScaling Digital Solutions in Healthcare: Paradoxical Tensions in Provider – Customer Relations and Coping Strategies(IEEE, 2023-10-18)
;Jonathan Paulus RöslerPejvak OghaziAn aging population, a lack of qualified medical staff, and rising costs in the healthcare sector pose major challenges to many societies. Implementing digital solutions in hospitals is a promising response to these challenges without compromising the quality of patient care. Nevertheless, the adoption of digital solutions in the healthcare environment is progressing more slowly than might be desirable. Adopting a paradox perspective, we study tensions in the relationship between the providers of digital solutions and hospitals (their customers) that can explain the slow uptake. Drawing on 39 interviews, our findings reveal nine tensions related to the three dimensions of a business model (value proposition; value creation and delivery; value capture). We also identify four coping strategies that allow solution providers to deal with these tensions, especially when building digital solutions in new ecosystems. The strategies to cope with paradoxical ten sions in interorganizational relationships include accommodation, avoidance, concession, and confrontation.Type: journal articleJournal: IEEE Transactions on Engineering ManagementIssue: ahead of print -

PublicationUse of DES to develop a decision support system for lot size decision-making in manufacturing companies( 2022)
;Liao, Shuangqing ;Hänggi, RomanThere exists a wide range of optimization models in the Operations Management (OM) community to solve complex problems such as lot sizing. However, their practical performance is often criticized due to the complexity of implementation and insufficient applicability in real-world decision processes. These theory-driven approaches are either simple to compute, but only focus on single aspects of the decision without being able to capture the practical problem comprehensively, or are complex computational models with limited practicability. We apply a Design Science Research approach to resolve this issue and show how lot size decision-making models should be designed to thoroughly support managers. Our innovative model combines Discrete Event Simulation (DES) with OM methods and is developed and tested in a case study in the metal processing industry. Results reveal that the model is suitable to provide transparency about effects and a range of efficient solutions.Type: journal articleJournal: Production & Manufacturing Research -

PublicationThe smart factory as a key construct of industry 4.0: A systematic literature reviewIndustry 4.0 is a ubiquitous term throughout general newspapers, on company websites or in scientific journals. One of its key constructs is the smart factory, envisioned as a future state of a fully connected manufacturing system, mainly operating without human force by generating, transferring, receiving and processing necessary data to conduct all required tasks for producing all kinds of goods. Although the understanding of smart factory concepts has been sharpened in the last years, it is still difficult for industrial companies to establish a concrete strategy roadmap within the jungle of different terminologies, ideas and concepts. To generate further clarity and to consolidate the previous findings around smart factory for researchers as well as for practitioner, we conducted a systematic literature review. For this purpose, we chose a five steps approach: Scope definition, topic conceptualisation, literature search, literature analysis and synthesis, and synthesis of future research questions. During our review, we found that research within each perspective is fragmented and unequally advanced. Most publications treat single use cases with low generalizability, often rely upon machine data, typically have a technical nature and seldom incorporate impact estimations. In this paper, our key academic and practical contribution lies in the categorisation of the selected publications into eight thematic distinct perspectives within the sphere of smart factory: Decision making, cyber-physical systems, data handling, IT infrastructure, digital transformation, human machine interaction, IoT, and cloud manufacturing and services. These are further developed into the smart factory research model, stating a foundation for future research endeavors.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal of Production EconomicsVolume: Special Issue Industry 4.0

PublicationDigitalisierung à la carte - Individuelle Auswahl von Use-Cases nach strategischen Prioritäten(Hanser, 2018-12-17)
;Hänggi, RomanIndustrie 4.0 still rules the discourse of industrial production in practice and academia. Under the variety of possible technologies and applications, especially small and medium enterprises have difficulties identifying the use cases relevant to them. This article presents a method that permits the identification of use cases according to the strategic priorities of a manufacturing company. The method is validated through the real case of a metal processing company.Type: journal articleJournal: ZWF Zeitschrift für wirtschaftlichen FabrikbetriebVolume: 113Issue: 12DOI: 10.3139/104.112016Scopus© Citations 2 -

PublicationIntra-Organizational Nudging: Designing a Label for Governing Local Decision-Making( 2021-10-16)Even though organizations may plan for long-term enterprise-wide ob-jectives, they are shaped by local decision-maker’s actions. The latter tend to have conflicting goals, such as short-term and immediate satis-faction of local business needs over organization-wide objectives. While local and diverse decision-making enables specialized products and services, ungoverned behavior may lead organizations that are hard to control and manage. Hence, the challenge is to harness, rather than eliminate decentral autonomy by reaping its benefits while limit-ing its downsides. Pursuing this purpose, this Design Science Research (DSR) study presents the creation and evaluation of a governance mechanism: a nudge-based label. It also contains a set of design fea-tures, which are evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively with expert surveys and discussions. The contributions include design knowledge about labels and the investigation of nudging as an intra-organizational governance mechanism.Type: conference paper
