    A Critical Evaluation and Framework of Business Process Improvement Methods
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 58, No. 1, 2016) Vanwersch, Rob J. B.; Shahzad, Khurram; Vanderfeesten, Irene; Vanhaecht, Kris; Grefen, Paul; Pintelon, Liliane; Mendling, Jan; Merode, Godefridus G.; Reijers, Hajo A.
    The redesign of business processes has a huge potential in terms of reducing costs and throughput times, as well as improving customer satisfaction. Despite rapid developments in the business process management discipline during the last decade, a comprehensive overview of the options to methodologically support a team to move from as-is process insights to to-be process alternatives is lacking. As such, no safeguard exists that a systematic exploration of the full range of redesign possibilities takes place by practitioners. Consequently, many attractive redesign possibilities remain unidentified and the improvement potential of redesign initiatives is not fulfilled. This systematic literature review establishes a comprehensive methodological framework, which serves as a catalog for process improvement use cases. The framework contains an overview of all the method options regarding the generation of process improvement ideas. This is established by identifying six key methodological decision areas, e.g. the human actors who can be invited to generate these ideas or the information that can be collected prior to this act. This framework enables practitioners to compose a well-considered method to generate process improvement ideas themselves. Based on a critical evaluation of the framework, the authors also offer recommendations that support academic researchers in grounding and improving methods for generating process improvement ideas. Next to the framework and its critical evaluation, this review investigates the research procedures of the studies that were used to create the framework. Related to this investigation, academic researchers can find additional guidance regarding procedures for building and evaluating new methods.

    A Taxonomy Development Method to Define the Vocabulary for Rule-Based Guidance in Complex Emerging Technologies
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 66, No. 2, 2024) Sangupamba Mwilu, Odette; Prat, Nicolas; Comyn-Wattiau, Isabelle
    Emerging technologies are characterized by their uncertainty and potential impact. Decisions about these technologies are therefore crucial and difficult. The problem is particularly acute for complex emerging technologies, which combine several technologies. Guidance on emerging technologies is often lacking, even more for complex ones. In this research, methods and models to guide practitioners (members of the IT personnel) in the adoption of complex emerging technologies are defined. Guidance is provided by means of productions rules, requiring a controlled vocabulary organized as a taxonomy. The rules, and the vocabulary for the rules, are defined by researchers for a specific complex emerging technology (e.g., business intelligence and analytics in the cloud). They may then be applied by practitioners to decide on the adoption of the emerging technology in a specific organizational context. The approach is based on systematic literature review, thereby contributing to evidence-based practice. This paper focuses on the method to define the controlled vocabulary for the production rules. This taxonomy development method is built by combining systematic literature review with a method for taxonomy development, considering the specificities of rule-based guidance and complex emerging technologies. It is demonstrated on business intelligence and analytics in the cloud and evaluated in a government agency.

    Herausforderungen und Handlungsempfehlungen für die VR-basierte Zusammenarbeit mit digitalen Nomad*innen und anderen Remote-Arbeitenden
    (HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 59, No. 1, 2022) Hofeditz, Lennart; Löffler, Ulrike; Strathmann, Clara
    Virtual Reality (VR) Technologien sind weit mehr als bloße Plattformen für Videospiele und Unterhaltung. Sie dienen Unternehmen aus unterschiedlichen Branchen als Werkzeuge zur Verbesserung der virtuellen Kommunikation und Teamarbeit. Insbesondere bei Mitarbeiter*innen, die in weit verbreiteten Teams arbeiten, kann VR dazu dienen, Probleme zu visualisieren und die Zusammenarbeit zu erleichtern. Viele Unternehmen beschäftigen jedoch nicht nur festangestellte Mitarbeiter*innen, sondern auch Freiberufler*innen und digitale Nomad*innen. Diese sind zwar oft flexibel und gut qualifiziert, jedoch stellen sie Unternehmen auch vor neue Herausforderungen, da ihr Selbstverständnis des Arbeitens oft mit den festen Strukturen der Unternehmen kollidiert. VR Technologien können dazu beitragen, die Zusammenarbeit mit Freiberufler*innen, digitalen Nomad*innen und anderen Remote-Arbeitenden zu erleichtern. Die Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze, die mit dem Einsatz von VR verbunden sind, wurden jedoch noch nicht systematisch untersucht, obwohl VR-Technologien immer häufiger zum Einsatz kommen. Deshalb werden in diesem Beitrag die Ergebnisse einer systematischen Literaturanalyse zu den Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätzen präsentiert und mit acht Remote-arbeitenden Expert*innen diskutiert. Dazu wurden vier Kategorien von Herausforderungen ermittelt: Organisatorische, unternehmensbezogene, benutzerbezogene und technische Hindernisse. Für jede Kategorie werden entsprechende Handlungsempfehlungen bereitgestellt. Dieser Beitrag bietet erste Einblicke in die Nutzung von VR Technologien zur Verbesserung der Zusammenarbeit von digitalen Nomad*innen und anderen Remote-arbeitenden Freiberufler*innen und zeigt Unternehmen einen innovativen Ansatz auf. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse können ebenfalls angewendet werden, um aufkommende Herausforderungen zu identifizieren, zu vermeiden und zu adressieren. Dies verbessert die virtuelle Zusammenarbeit in Unternehmen und unter digitalen Nomad*innen und Freiberufler*innen. Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are much more than mere platforms for video games and entertainment. They serve as tools for companies in a variety of industries, to improve virtual communication and teamwork. Especially for employees working in widely distributed teams, VR can be used to visualize problems and facilitate collaboration. However, many companies employ not only permanent employees, but also freelancers and digital nomads. These are often flexible and well qualified, but they also pose new challenges to companies, as their self-image of working often collides with the fixed structures of the company. VR technologies can help facilitate collaboration with freelancers, digital nomads and other remote-workers. However, the challenges and solutions associated with the use of VR have not yet been systematically explored, despite the increasing use of VR technologies. Therefore, this paper presents the results of a systematic literature review on the challenges and solution approaches and discusses them with eight remote-working experts. For this purpose, four categories of challenges were identified: organizational, company-related, user-related, and technical barriers. For each category, corresponding recommendations for action are provided. This paper provides initial insights into the use of VR technologies to improve collaboration among digital nomads and other remote-working freelancers, and shows companies an innovative approach. The lessons learned can also be applied to identify, avoid, and address emerging challenges. This improves virtual collaboration in companies and among digital nomads and freelancers.

    Maintenance of Enterprise Architecture Models
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 63, No. 2, 2021) Silva, Nuno; Sousa, Pedro; Mira da Silva, Miguel
    Enterprise architecture (EA) models are tools of analysis, communication, and support towards enterprise transformation. These models need a suitable maintenance process to support comprehensive knowledge of the enterprise’s structure and dynamics. This study aims to identify and discuss the existing approaches to EA model maintenance published in the scientific literature. A systematic literature review was employed as the research method. A keyword-based search in six databases identified a total of 4495 papers in which 31 primary studies were included. A total of nine categories of EA model maintenance approaches were identified from both information systems and enterprise engineering fields of research. The increasing amount of research in EA model maintenance suggests that the topic still presents opportunities for research contributions. This study also proposes future lines of research according to the results identified in the theoretical corpus.

    Predictive Maintenance for the Optical Synchronization System of the European XFEL: A Systematic Literature Survey
    (BTW 2023, 2023) Grünhagen, Arne; Tropmann-Frick, Marina; Eichler, Annika; Fey, Görschwin
    The optical synchronization system of the European X-ray Free Electron Laser is a networked cyber-physical system producing a large amount of data. To maximize the availability of the optical synchronization system, we are developing a predictive maintenance module that can evaluate and predict the condition of the system. In this paper, we report on state-of-the-art predictive maintenance methods by systematically reviewing publications in this field. Guided by three research questions addressing the type of cyber-physical systems, feature extraction methods, and data analytical approaches to evaluate the current health status or to predict future system behavior, we identified 144 publications of high quality contributing to research in this area. Our result is that especially neural networks are used for many predictive maintenance tasks. This review serves as a starting point for a detailed and systematic evaluation of the different methods applied to the optical synchronization system.
