Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

than 150 million people read a newspaper online, and
millions more read other news sites.
3. • Social networking site Facebook attracted 162 million monthly
visitors in 2012 in the United States, and over 900 million
worldwide. Google+ has attracted over 100 million users in the
United States.
• Businesses are starting to use social networking tools to connect
their employees, customers, and managers worldwide.
• Many Fortune 500 companies now have Facebook pages, and
Twitter accounts.
• Despite the economic slowdown, e-commerce and Internet
advertising continue to expand.
• Google’s online ad revenues surpassed $36 billion in 2011, and
Internet advertising continues to grow at more than 10 percent a
year, reaching more than $39.5 billion in revenues in 2012.
4. WHAT’S NEW IN MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS?
• New businesses and industries appear, old ones decline,
and successful firms are those that learn how to use the
new technologies.
• Table 1.1 summarizes the major new themes in business
uses of information systems.
• There are three interrelated changes in the technology
area: (1) the emerging mobile digital platform, (2) the
growing business use of "big data,“ and (3) the growth in
“cloud computing,” where more and more business
software runs over the Internet.
5. • IPhones, iPads, BlackBerrys, and Android tablets and
smartphones are not just gadgets or entertainment
outlets. They represent new emerging computing
platforms based on an array of new hardware and
software technologies.

8. • More and more business computing is moving from PCs
and desktop machines to these mobile devices.
• Managers are increasingly using these devices to
coordinate work, communicate with employees, and
provide information for decision making. We call these
developments the “emerging mobile digital platform.”
• Managers routinely use online collaboration and social
technologies in order to make better, faster decisions.
• The strength of cloud computing and the growth of the
mobile digital platform allow organizations to rely more
on telework, remote work, and distributed decision
making.
9. • This same platform means firms can outsource more
work, and rely on markets (rather than employees) to
build value.
• It also means that firms can collaborate with suppliers
and customers to create new products, or make existing
products more efficiently.

11. GLOBALIZATION CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
• The emergence of the Internet into a full-blown international
communications system has drastically reduced the costs of
operating and transacting on a global scale. Communication
between a factory floor in Shanghai and a distribution center in
Rapid Falls, South Dakota, is now instant and virtually free.
Customers can now shop in a worldwide marketplace, obtaining
price and quality information reliably 24 hours a day. Firms
producing goods and services on a global scale achieve
extraordinary cost reductions by finding low-cost suppliers and
managing production facilities in other countries.
12. THE EMERGING DIGITAL FIRM
• All of the changes we have just described, coupled with
equally significant organizational redesign, have created
the conditions for a fully digital firm.
• A digital firm is one in which nearly all of the
organization’s significant business relationships with
customers, suppliers, and employees are digitally
enabled and mediated.
• Core business processes are accomplished through
digital networks spanning the entire organization or
linking multiple organizations.
13. • Business processes refer to the set of logically related tasks and
behaviors that organizations develop over time to produce
specific business results and the unique manner in which these
activities are organized and coordinated.
• Developing a new product, generating and fulfilling an order,
creating a marketing plan, and hiring an employee are examples
of business processes, and the ways organizations accomplish
their business processes can be a source of competitive strength.
• Key corporate assets—intellectual property, core competencies,
and financial and human assets—are managed through digital
means.
• In a digital firm, any piece of information required to support
key business decisions is available at any time and anywhere in
the firm.
14. • Digital firms sense and respond to their environments
far more rapidly than traditional firms, giving them
more flexibility to survive in turbulent times.
• Digital firms offer extraordinary opportunities for more
flexible global organization and management. In digital
firms, both time shifting and space shifting are the
norm.
• Time shifting refers to business being conducted
continuously, 24/7, rather than in narrow “work day”
time bands of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
• Space shifting means that work takes place in a global
workshop, as well as within national boundaries. Work
is accomplished physically wherever in the world it is
best accomplished.
15. • Many firms, such as Cisco Systems, 3M, and IBM, are close to
becoming digital firms, using the Internet to drive every aspect of
their business. Most other companies are not fully digital, but they
are moving toward close digital integration with suppliers,
customers, and employees. Many firms, for example, are replacing
traditional face-to-face meetings with “virtual” meetings using
videoconferencing and Web conferencing technology.
• Today’s service industries— finance, insurance, and real estate,
as well as personal services such as travel, medicine, and
education—could not operate without information systems.
Similarly, retail firms such as Walmart and Sears and
manufacturing firms such as General Motors and General Electric
require information systems to survive and prosper. Just as offices,
telephones, filing cabinets, and efficient tall buildings with
elevators were once the foundations of business in the twentieth
century, information technology is a foundation for business in the
twenty-first century.
16. • What a business would like to do in five years often
depends on what its systems will be able to do.
Increasing market share, becoming the high-quality or
low-cost producer, developing new products, and
increasing employee productivity depend more and
more on the kinds and quality of information systems in
the organization.
17.
18. Operational Excellence
• Businesses continuously seek to improve the efficiency of their
operations in order to achieve higher profitability. Information systems
and technologies are some of the most important tools available to
managers for achieving higher levels of efficiency and productivity in
business operations, especially when coupled with changes in business
practices and management behavior. Walmart, the largest retailer on
earth, exemplifies the power of information systems coupled with
brilliant business practices and supportive management to achieve
world-class operational efficiency. In fiscal year 2012, Walmart achieved
$460 billion in sales—nearly one-tenth of retail sales in the United
States—in large part because of its Retail Link system, which digitally
links its suppliers to every one of Walmart’s stores. As soon as a
customer purchases an item, the supplier monitoring the item knows to
ship a replacement to the shelf. Walmart is the most efficient retail
store in the industry, achieving sales of more than $28 per square foot,
compared to its closest competitor, Target, at $23 a square foot. Other
retail firms producing less than $12 a square foot.
19. Customer and Supplier Intimacy
• When a business really knows its customers, and serves them
well, the customers generally respond by returning and
purchasing more. This raises revenues and profits. Likewise with
suppliers: the more a business engages its suppliers, the better
the suppliers can provide vital inputs. This lowers costs. How to
really know your customers, or suppliers, is a central problem for
businesses with millions of offline and online customers.
20. • The Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan and other high-end
hotels exemplify the use of information systems and
technologies to achieve customer relationship. These hotels
use computers to keep track of guests’ preferences, such as
their preferred room temperature, check-in time, frequently
dialed telephone numbers, and television programs, and
store these data in a large data repository. Individual rooms
in the hotels are networked to a central network server
computer so that they can be remotely monitored or
controlled. When a customer arrives at one of these hotels,
the system automatically changes the room conditions, such
as dimming the lights, setting the room temperature, or
selecting appropriate music, based on the customer’s digital
profile. The hotels also analyze their customer data to
identify their best customers and to develop individualized
marketing campaigns based on customers’ preferences.
21. • JCPenney exemplifies the benefits of information systems-
enabled supplier intimacy. Every time a dress shirt is bought at a
JCPenney store in the United States, the record of the sale
appears immediately on computers in Hong Kong at the TAL
Apparel Ltd. supplier, a contract manufacturer that produces one
in eight dress shirts sold in the United States. TAL runs the
numbers through a computer model it developed and then
decides how many replacement shirts to make, and in what styles,
colors, and sizes. TAL then sends the shirts to each JCPenney
store, bypassing completely the retailer’s warehouses. In other
words, JCPenney’s shirt inventory is near zero, as is the cost of
storing it.
22. Improved Decision Making
• Many business managers operate in an information fog bank,
never really having the right information at the right time to
make an informed decision. Instead, managers rely on forecasts,
best guesses, and luck. The result is over or underproduction of
goods and services, misallocation of resources, and poor
response times. These poor outcomes raise costs and lose
customers. In the past decade, information systems and
technologies have made it possible for managers to use real-time
data from the marketplace when making decisions.
For instance, Verizon Corporation, one of the largest
telecommunication companies in the United States, uses a Web-
based digital dashboard to provide managers with precise real-
time information on customer complaints, network performance
for each locality served, and line outages or storm-damaged
lines. Using this information, managers can immediately allocate
repair resources to affected areas, inform consumers of repair
efforts, and restore service fast.
23. Competitive Advantage
• When firms achieve one or more of these business objectives—
operational excellence; new products, services, and business
models; customer/supplier intimacy; and improved decision
making—chances are they have already achieved a competitive
advantage. Doing things better than your competitors, charging
less for superior products, and responding to customers and
suppliers in real time all add up to higher sales and higher profits
that your competitors cannot match.
24. Survival
• Business firms also invest in information systems and technologies
because they are necessities of doing business. Sometimes these
“necessities” are driven by industry-level changes. For instance,
after Citibank introduced the first automated teller machines
(ATMs) in the New York region in 1977 to attract customers
through higher service levels, its competitors rushed to provide
ATMs to their customers to keep up with Citibank. Today, virtually
all banks in the United States have regional ATMs and link to
national and international ATM networks, such as CIRRUS.
Providing ATM services to retail banking customers is simply a
requirement of being in and surviving in the retail banking
business.
25. WHAT IS AN INFORMATION SYSTEM?
• An information system can be defined technically as a set of
interrelated components that collect (or retrieve), process, store,
and distribute information to support decision making and control
in an organization.
