Already successfully used products or designs, past projects or our own experiences can be the basis for the development of new products. As reference products or existing knowledge, it is reused in the development process and across generations of products. Since further, products are developed in cooperation, the development of new product generations is characterized by knowledge-intensive processes in which information and knowledge are exchanged between different kinds of knowledge carriers. The particular knowledge transfer here describes the identification of knowledge, its transmission from the knowledge carrier to the knowledge receiver, and its application by the knowledge receiver, which includes embodied knowledge of physical products. Initial empirical findings of the quantitative effects regarding the speed of knowledge transfers already have been examined. However, the factors influencing the quality of knowledge transfer to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge transfer in product development have not yet been examined empirically. Therefore, this paper prepares an experimental setting for the empirical investigation of the quality of knowledge transfers.
Faced with the triad of time-cost-quality, the realization of production tasks under economic conditions is not trivial. Since the number of Artificial-Intelligence-(AI)-based applications in business processes is increasing more and more nowadays, the efficient design of AI cases for production processes as well as their target-oriented improvement is essential, so that production outcomes satisfy high quality criteria and economic requirements. Both challenge production management and data scientists, aiming to assign ideal manifestations of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to a certain task. Faced with new attempts of ANN-based production process improvements [8], this paper continues research about the optimal creation, provision and utilization of ANNs. Moreover, it presents a mechanism for AI case-based reasoning for ANNs. Experiments clarify continuously improving ANN knowledge bases by this mechanism empirically. Its proof-of-concept is demonstrated by the example of four production simulation scenarios, which cover the most relevant use cases and will be the basis for examining AI cases on a quantitative level.
Accelerating knowledge
(2019)
As knowledge-intensive processes are often carried out in teams and demand for knowledge transfers among various knowledge carriers, any optimization in regard to the acceleration of knowledge transfers obtains a great economic potential. Exemplified with product development projects, knowledge transfers focus on knowledge acquired in former situations and product generations. An adjustment in the manifestation of knowledge transfers in its concrete situation, here called intervention, therefore can directly be connected to the adequate speed optimization of knowledge-intensive process steps. This contribution presents the specification of seven concrete interventions following an intervention template. Further, it describes the design and results of a workshop with experts as a descriptive study. The workshop was used to assess the practical relevance of interventions designed as well as the identification of practical success factors and barriers of their implementation.
Konzeption, Erstellung und Evaluation von VR-Räumen für die betriebliche Weiterbildung in KMU
(2023)
Der Beitrag adressiert die Erstellung von Virtual-Reality gestützten (Lehr- und Lern-) Räumen für die betriebliche Weiterbildung im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes. Der damit verbundene Konzeptions- und Umsetzungsprozess ist mit verschiedenen Herausforderungen verbunden: einerseits ist Virtual-Reality ein vergleichsweise neues Lehr- und Lernmedium, womit wenig praktische Handreichungen zur praktischen Umsetzung existieren. Andererseits existieren theoretisch-konzeptionelle Ansätze zur Gestaltung digitaler Lehr- und Lernarrangements, die jedoch 1) oft Gefahr laufen, an den realen Bedürfnissen der Praxis „vorbei“ zu gehen und 2) zumeist nicht konkret Virtual-Reality bzw. damit verbundene Lehr- und Lernumgebungen adressieren. In dieser Folge sind Best-Practice Beispiele basierend auf erfolgreichen Umsetzungsvorhaben, die nachfolgenden Projekten als „Wegweiser“ dienen könnten, äußerst rar. Der Beitrag setzt an dieser Stelle an: basierend auf zwei real existierenden betrieblichen Anwendungsfällen aus den Bereichen Natursteinbearbeitung sowie Einzel- und Sondermaschinenbau werden Herausforderungen und Lösungswege des Erstellungsprozesses von Virtual-Reality gestützten (Lehr- und Lern-)Räumen beschrieben. Ebenfalls werden basierend auf den gemachten Projekterfahrungen Handlungsempfehlungen für die gelingende Konzeption, Umsetzung und Evaluation dieser Räume formuliert. Betriebliche Beschäftigte aus den Bereichen Aus- und Weiterbildung, Management oder Human Ressources, die in eigenen Projekten im Bereich Virtual Reality aktiv werden wollen, profitieren von den herausgestellten praktischen Handreichungen. Forschende Personen sollen Anregungen für weiterführende Forschungsvorhaben erhalten.
While Information Systems (IS) Research on the individual and workgroup level of analysis is omnipresent, research on the enterprise-level IS is less frequent. Even though research on Enterprise Systems and their management is established in academic associations and conference programs, enterprise-level phenomena are underrepresented. This minitrack provides a forum to integrate existing research streams that traditionally needed to be attached to other topics (such as IS management or IS governance). The minitrack received broad attention. The three selected papers address different facets of the future role of enterprise-wide IS including aspects such as carbonization, ecosystem integration, and technology-organization fit.
Die Innovationstätigkeit im industriellen Umfeld verlagert sich durch die Digitalisierung hin zu Produkt-Service-Systemen. Kleine und mittlere Unternehmen haben sich in ihrer Entwicklungstätigkeit bisher stark auf die Produktentwicklung bezogen. Der Umstieg auf „smarte“ Produkte und die Kopplung an Dienstleistungen erfordert häufig personelle und finanzielle Ressourcen, welche KMU nicht aufbringen können. Crowdsourcing stellt eine Möglichkeit dar, den Innovationsprozess für externe Akteure zu öffnen und Kosten- sowie Geschwindigkeitsvorteile zu realisieren. Bei der Integration von Crowdsourcing-Elementen ist jedoch einigen Herausforderungen zu begegnen. Dieser Beitrag zeigt sowohl die Potenziale als auch die Barrieren einer Crowdsourcing-Nutzung im industriellen Umfeld auf.
The digital transformation sets new requirements to all classes of enterprise systems in companies. ERP systems in particular, which represent the dominant class of enterprise systems, are struggling to meet the new requirements at all levels of the architecture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reconsider the overall architecture of the systems and address the root of the related issues. Given that many restrictions ERP pose on their adaptability are related to the standardization of data, the database layer of ERP systems is addressed. Since database serve as the foundation for data storage and retrieval, they limit the flexibility of enterprise systems and the chance to adapt to new requirements accordingly. So far, relational databases are widely used. Using a systematic literature approach, recent requirements for ERP systems were identified. Prominent database approaches were assessed against the 23 requirements identified. The results reveal the strengths and weaknesses of recent database approaches. To this end, the results highlight the demand to combine multiple database approaches to fulfill recent business requirements. From a conceptual point of view, this paper supports the idea of federated databases which are interoperable to fulfill future requirements and support business operation. This research forms the basis for renewal of the current generation of ERP systems and proposes to ERP vendors to use different database concepts in the future.
Umstieg auf S/4HANA
(2023)
Sehr viele langjährige R/3-Nutzer stehen derzeit vor der Frage, wie sie sich hinsichtlich des Upgrades auf S/4HANA entscheiden sollen. Die Wartung für R/3 endet absehbar in den nächsten Jahren, und mit S/4 kommen neue Möglichkeiten, aber auch neue Herausforderungen. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Entscheidungen, die bei der Prüfung eines Umstiegs auf S/4HANA getroffen werden müssen und zeigt diese am Beispiel eines Multi-Channel-Handelsunternehmens.
Neben dem enormen Kursanstieg des Bitcoins in den Jahren 2017/2018, stieg im gleichen Maß auch die benötigte Rechenleistung und der damit verbundene Elektrizitätsbedarf, um Blöcke innerhalb der Bitcoin-Blockchain zu verifizieren. Aus diesem Problem ableitend beschäftigt sich dieser Beitrag mit der Fragestellung, welchen Beitrag unterschiedliche Konsens-Algorithmen innerhalb einer Blockchain zur Nachhaltigkeit liefern. Im Ergebnis liegt ein Überblick über die meist genutzten Konsens-Algorithmen und deren Beitrag zur Nachhaltigkeit vor.
Yes, we can (?)
(2021)
The COVID-19 crisis has caused an extreme situation for higher education institutions around the world, where exclusively virtual teaching and learning has become obligatory rather than an additional supporting feature. This has created opportunities to explore the potential and limitations of virtual learning formats. This paper presents four theses on virtual classroom teaching and learning that are discussed critically. We use existing theoretical insights extended by empirical evidence from a survey of more than 850 students on acceptance, expectations, and attitudes regarding the positive and negative aspects of virtual teaching. The survey responses were gathered from students at different universities during the first completely digital semester (Spring-Summer 2020) in Germany. We discuss similarities and differences between the subjects being studied and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of virtual teaching and learning. Against the background of existing theory and the gathered data, we emphasize the importance of social interaction, the combination of different learning formats, and thus context-sensitive hybrid learning as the learning form of the future.
