Abstract:
AbstractThinking LEAN is an informal way to continuously be aware of and look to improve the value of your surroundings. A sonography department has many moving parts or “steps.” Identification and reduction of unnecessary steps may create greater efficiency and value for a process. This may ultimately provide a better experience for the sonographer and the customer.

Abstract:
PurposeThis research brings together two streams of thought applied to decision-making: lean thinking and stakeholder theory. Both have been identified as ways to improve organizational value. Previous studies disagree regarding whether they can work together. This study investigates if managers balance stakeholders and lean thinking in decision-making.Design/methodology/approachThis research investigates if both lean thinking and stakeholder salience share common literature by using data mining. It surveys organizations that perceive themselves as lean and have multiple diverse stakeholders to determine whether waste and salience are considered when making decisions. An ANOVA is done to see if organization type, management level, organization size, geographic location, or lean maturity has an effect on the priority of stakeholder salience or lean thinking's waste variants when making decisions.FindingsFindings of this research are: 1) stakeholders salience criteria are considered more often than lean thinking's waste variants in decision-making by managers as a whole and in particular by middle-level managers and senior managers. However, lean thinking's waste variants are considered as often as stakeholder salience criteria by first-line managers. 2) The ranking of stakeholder salience in making decisions is not affected by organization type, respondent position, organization size, perceived lean experience, or geographic location. The organization type, organization size, lean experience, and location do not affect the ranking of lean thinking variants either. But the ranking of lean thinking's waste variants is significantly different for first-line, middle-level, and senior managers. Middle-level managers rank lean thinking higher than that of either first-line or senior-level. Because of this, middle managers have a more balanced approach in using lean thinking and stakeholder salience than other managers. 3) Stakeholder salience criteria have a significantly higher ranking than lean thinking variants in making decisions for all organization types: manufacturing and nonmanufacturing.Originality/ValueThis research demonstrates a significant disconnect exists between lean thinking and demands of stakeholders that impacts the value of an organization, and only middle-level managers bring balance and awareness of both streams of thought. An empirical instrument has been developed to balance the stakeholder salience criteria with the lean thinking variants.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to evaluate how LEAN thinking is used as a management and development tool in the Finnish public healthcare system and what kind of outcomes have been achieved or expected by using it. The main focus is in managing and developing patient and treatment processes. Design/methodology/approach – A mixed-method approach incorporating the Webropol survey was used. Findings – LEAN is quite a new concept in Finnish public healthcare. It is mainly used as a development tool to seek financial savings and to improve the efficiency of patient processes, but has not yet been deeply implemented. However, the experiences from LEAN initiatives have been positive, and the methodology is already quite well-known. It can be concluded that, because of positive experiences from LEAN, the environment in Finnish healthcare is ready for the deeper implementation of LEAN. Originality/value – This paper evaluates the usage of LEAN thinking for the first time in the public healthcare system of Finland as a development tool and a management system. It highlights the implementation and achieved results of LEAN thinking when used in the healthcare environment. It also highlights the expectations for LEAN thinking in Finnish public healthcare.

Abstract:

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka:

  1. Lean filosofins påverkan på Banken X administrativa processer.
  2. Samt huruvida Lean Kan vara ett verktyg/process för att förbättra de administrativa Processerna.  

Dessutom är våra frågeställningar dessa:

  • Hur påverkar Lean de administrativa processerna i Banken X?
  • Kan administration bli Lean?
  • Hur kan Banken X arbeta för att implementera Lean på det mest effektiva sättet?

 

Metod: Denna studie har den kvalitativa metoden som ansats. Teorin för denna studie har hämtats från relevanta vetenskapliga teorier inom aktuellt ämne. Vidare genomfördes denna insamling av information i syfte för att underlätta förståelsen samt skapa en insikt i ämnet. I förfarande för denna studie har vi valt den deduktiva metoden att arbeta efter, resultatet är intervjuer av tre medarbetare från Banken X huvudkontor. Det empiriska underlaget har sedan sammanställts med den teoretiska materiellt där vi har skildrat likheter och olikheter.

 

Resultat & slutsats: Denna studie påvisar att Lean kan öka värdeskapande för de administrativa processerna, samt att administration kan bli Lean, men inte i samma omfattning och effektivitet som Lean faktiskt har haft på verkstadsindustrin. Vidare att det kanske svåraste i arbetet med Lean faktiskt är implementeringen och acceptansen av medarbetarna.

 

Förslag till fortsattforskning: Vi anser att det skulle vara intressant att om ett par år studera Banken X eller för den delen en annan administrativ organisation för att se huruvida Lean Administration har fått ett fäste eller inte och för att se om värde och värdeskapande har identifierats på ett mer effektivt sätt

 

Uppsatsens bidrag: Förhoppningen med denna studie är att belysa Lean konceptets påverkan på administrativa organisationers processer. Vi är övertygade om att dagens knivskarpa konkurrens bidrar till att fler och fler organisationer inte längre lyckas överleva på den tuffa marknaden. Dessutom är vi övertygade om att i den globala värld som vi lever i är det mycket viktigt och centralt att organisationer har tydliga och strukturerade processer i sitt dagliga arbete för att lyckas vidmakthålla sig. 

 

Nyckelord: Lean, Muda, Värde, Värdeskapande & Kaizen 


Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate:

  1. The Lean philosophy’s impact on the Bank X administrative processes.
  2. And whether Lean Can be a tool/process to improve the administrative processes.

Further are our issues these:

  • How does Lean affect the administrative processes in the Bank X?
  • Can administration become Lean?
  • How can Bank X work to implement Lean in the most efficient way?

 

Method: This study is the qualitative method approach. The theory of this study is taken from the relevant scientific theories in the current topic. Furthermore we took this collection of information in order to facilitate understanding and create an understanding of the subject. The procedure for this study, we have chosen the deductive method to work after, the result are from the interviews of three employees from the Bank X headquarters. The empirical basis has been compiled with the theoretical material which we have described the similarities and differences

 

Result & Conclusions: This study demonstrates that Lean can increase the value of administrative processes, and that the administration can become Lean, but not to the same extent and effectiveness of Lean actually has had on the engineering industry. Furthermore, it is perhaps most difficult in the work with Lean is actually the implementation and acceptance by the employees.

 

Suggestions for future research: We think it would be interesting to in a couple of years studying Bank X or, for that matter, a different administrative organization to see whether Lean Administration has received an attachment or not and to see if value and valuecreating have been identified in a more efficient manner

 

Contribution of the thesis: The hope of this study is to highlight the Lean concept's impact on the organizations' administrative processes. We are convinced today's sharp competition contributes to more and more organizations no longer manage to survive in the tough market. In addition, we are convinced that in the global world we live in, it is very important and crucial that organizations have clear and structured processes in their daily work in order to succeed in maintaining itself.

 

Key words: Lean, Muda, Value, Valueadding & Kaizen

Resumo: O lean thinking e o design thinking são modos de pensar aplicados ao desenvolvimento, produção e gestão de bens e serviços. O primeiro articula-se em função da atribuição de valor pelo cliente e é voltado para a redução do desperdício. O segundo tem suas ações centradas no usuário e é voltado para a inovação. Baseando-se na análise dos seus princípios, este trabalho de pesquisa identifica as aproximações teóricas e as relações entre as duas áreas. A metodologia envolve a revisão de literatura e a análise qualitativa da amostra constituída pelos textos com os princípios do lean thinking e do design thinking e cinco artigos sobre cada um dos dois temas. O tratamento qualitativo dos dados utiliza a estratégia de codificação e pauta-se na Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD). Para a operacionalização do trabalho de análise qualitativa por meio de codificação utiliza-se o software ATLAS.ti. Os diferentes níveis de codificação permitem identificar 12 aspectos de aproximação entre as duas áreas. Uma análise final desse conjunto leva aos cinco mais relevantes: cliente, experiência, iteração, inovação e valor. Desta análise também deriva uma convergência teórica que possibilita entender como estes aspectos se relacionam entre si em termos de identificação do agente, definição do processo e constituição do ativo. Também permite inferir que a atribuição de valor é o aspecto que estrutura as relações entre o lean thinking e o design thinking. Os resultados da pesquisa apresentam um novo olhar sobre a dinâmica das relações destas duas áreas e abrem horizontes para aplicação prática destas conexões assim como para novos estudos sobre o tema.
Abstract: Lean thinking and design thinking are ways of thinking applied to the development, production and management of goods and services. The first is articulated according to the value assignment by the client and is aimed at reducing waste. The second has its actions focused on the user and is geared towards innovation. Based on the analysis of its principles, this research identifies the theoretical approaches and the relationship between the two areas. The methodology involves a literature review and a qualitative analysis of two texts with the principles of lean thinking and design thinking and five articles on each of the two themes. The qualitative data processing uses the coding strategy and is referenced on the Grounded Theory. In order to implement qualitative analytical work through coding is used ATLAS.ti software. The different levels of coding allow to identify 12 aspects of rapprochement between the two areas. From this set, a final analysis led to the five most relevant: customer, experience, iteration, innovation and value. This analysis also derives a theoretical convergence that enables to understand how these aspects relate to each other in terms of agent identification, process definition and constitution of assets. Also allows to infer that the value assignment is the aspect that structures the relationship between lean thinking and the design thinking. The research results present a fresh look at the dynamics of the relationship of these two areas and open horizons for practical application of these connections as well as for further studies on the subject.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial
Atualmente, o ambiente competitivo empresarial exige das organizações um esforço cada vez maior pela sobrevivência do negócio. As empresas procuram reduzir custos, aumentar as margens de lucro e diferenciar a sua oferta da concorrência. A filosofia Lean Thinking vai de encontro a estas necessidades, providenciando metodologias para a obtenção desses objetivos. Apesar da simplicidade dos princípios Lean, a sua implementação numa determinada organização nem sempre é fácil. É neste sentido que a formação na área do Lean Thinking assume uma elevada importância para a evolução das organizações, dotando os seus colaboradores de conhecimentos indispensáveis para atingir os padrões de produção desejados. Este projeto pretende desenvolver situações simuladas para demonstração das metodologias Lean, em sala de aula e em ambiente industrial. O objetivo destas simulações é a disseminação da filosofia Lean Thinking e a demonstração prática das suas metodologias e ferramentas, como por exemplo o sistema Pull, o mapeamento do fluxo de valor (VSM) e os 5S. Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidas duas simulações para sala, a linha de refrigerantes e a montagem de legos, e uma simulação para ambiente fabril.
Nowadays, the competitive business environment demands an increasingly effort from organizations for business survival. Companies seek to reduce costs, increase profit margins and differentiate their offering from the competition. Lean Thinking philosophy meets these needs by providing methodologies to obtain these goals. Despite the simplicity of Lean principles, its implementation in a particular organization is not always easy. This is why training in the field of Lean Thinking assumes a great importance for the evolution of organizations by providing their employees essential knowledge to achieve the desired production standards. This project aims to develop simulated situations to demonstrate the Lean methodologies, in the classroom and in industrial environments. The purpose of these simulations is the spread of Lean Thinking philosophy and practical demonstration of its methodologies and tools, such as Pull System, Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and 5S. In this work were developed two simulations for classroom, the soft drink line and assembling Lego’s, and a simulation for production environment.

Abstract:
Software intensive systems are an increasing part of new products, which make the business impact significant. This is especially true for the automotive industry where a very large part of new innovations are realized through the use of software. The architecture of the software intensive system will enable value creation when working properly or, in the worst case, prevent value creation.  Lean thinking is about focusing on the increase of customer value and on the people who add value. This thesis investigates how system architecting is performed in industry and how it can be improved by the use of Lean thinking. The architecting process does not create immediate value to the end customer, but rather create the architecture on which value in terms of product features and functionality can be developed. A Lean tool used to improve the value creation within a process is Value Stream Mapping (VSM). We present a method based on VSM which is adapted to enable analysis of the architecting process in order to identify improvements.  A study of architecting at two companies shows what effect differences such as a strong line organization or a strong project organization has on the architecting process. It also shows what consequence technical choices and business strategy have on the architecting process. In order to improve the understanding of how architecting is performed a study including architects at six different internationally well-known companies have been interviewed. The study presents the practices that are found most successful. The context of the different companies as well as the architecting practices are compared and analyzed.  The early design decisions made when developing software-intensive systems are crucial to the outcome of development projects. In order to improve the decision making process a method was developed based on Real Options. The method improves the customer focus of critical design decision by taking the value of flexibility into account.  This thesis provides a toolbox of knowledge on how Lean thinking can be applied to system architecting and also presents how architecting is performed in industry today.

Abstract:
In the new business economy, project management has become a central way for undertaking several of the business activities. One of the increasing and most significant concerns with projects is that, projects are behind schedule, over budget and show unsatisfactory performance in terms quality and customer satisfaction. In the last few decades the manufacturing industry successfully improved quality and productivity, by using the concepts of lean thinking. The thesis explores the relevance of lean concepts in project management and how lean concepts can improve project productivity. The qualitative method is used in this study. Further, a systematic approach was used to identify the relevance of lean concepts in project management. The qualitative data was collected using an interview with a project consultant. The results of the study reveal that all concepts of lean thinking are relevant to project management in specific kinds of projects. However, a greater degree of understanding and interpretation of each concept is needed when applying lean thinking in project management. Furthermore, some of the concepts have to be interpreted with caution when they are used in innovative projects. In general, it is found that, lean project management can improve project productivity. The findings suggest that the lean concepts can reduce cost and time which are two key measures of project success. The results of this study can be seen as a tentative framework intended to stimulate further discussion about integrating lean thinking in project and program management.

Abstract:
AGES är ett företag som pressgjuter produkter i aluminium med olika legeringar. De producerar främst till fordons- och verkstadsindustrin. De har i dagsläget låg total utrustningseffektivitet på två av sina maskiner och vill få reda på varför. De största tidsförlusterna är ställtiderna samt att operatörerna inte märker att maskinstopp har skett.    Målet med examensarbetet var att identifiera och reducera slöseri i produktionsprocessen hos AGES och skapa en grund för framtida arbete med SMED och Lean Production.     Genom olika mätningar kunde olika analyser utföras såsom värdeflödesanalys och OEE-analys. Analyserna resulterade i ett antal förbättringsförslag där vissa av dem planeras att implementeras. Vissa hamnade under utvärdering och vissa hamnade som framtida förbättringar. Studien har också bidragit till en ökad förståelse för varför maskinstopp sker och vilka åtgärder som bör vidtas. Ledningen på AGES är positiva till resultatet av studien och förbättringsförslagen. Inom SMED har det resulterat i en plan till hur verktygsbytet kan gå till för att minska ställtiderna samt hur mycket tid som kan besparas vid implementering.
AGES is a company that die-cast aluminum products with various alloys. They mainly produce for the automotive and engineering industries. Currently they have a low total equipment efficiency on two of their machines and they want to find out why. The biggest time losses are the set-up times and that the operators are not noticing when a machine stop has occurred.   The aim of the project was to identify and reduce waste in the production process at AGES and create a basis for future work with SMED and Lean Production.    Through different measurements, different analyzes could be performed such as value flow analysis and OEE-analysis. The analyzes resulted in several improvement proposals, some of which are planned to be implemented. Some will be evaluated and will be implemented as future improvements. The study has also led to an understanding of why machine stops occur and what measures should be taken.    The management at AGES is positive to the results of the study and the improvement proposals. Within SMED, it resulted in a plan for how the tool change can be done to reduce set-up times and how much time can be saved when implemented.

Morris, Jonathan. "Improving construction design : the lean thinking paradigm." Thesis, Cranfield University, 1999. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/3840.

Full text
Abstract:
A study has been conducted into improving construction design through the application of the lean thinking paradigm. Its objective was to identify the issues relating to design efficiency and how a lean thinking approach might address these issues. The investigation consisted of examining work already undertaken in the field by other researchers"to identify the state of the art. The change order request system was examined to gain first insights into waste in construction design, and to gauge the size of the opportunity for the application of lean thinking. An Electronic Data Gathering Tool (EDGT) was then developed to allow further exploration of the design decision making process at the system / sub-system level. The EDGT was used on three live construction projects. From the data recorded a design planning tool, Design Decision Planner (DDP), was created to help improve control of the design process and lead to a more standardised approach to construction design. Standardising the approach to product development is an important component of lean thinking. The main recommendations for making construction design lean are: Use DDP to plan and improve control of the design decision making process, assign design responsibility and to make the process more transparent. 2. Measuring progress against planned design is a useful process metric. 3. Improve the designer's cost and programme visibility when choosing between design options. 4. Redefine the role of the quantity surveyor from cost controller to value for money assessor. The role needs to be better integrated into the design process to reach its full potential. 5. Need to develop more rigorous methods of assessing the buildability of design options. This problem could be eased in the short-term by incorporating construction professionals into the early design phases. 6. Designers need to use more process reason drivers when choosing between design options, not just functional criteria. 7. The change order request system could be redesigned to identify the root causes of contract issue design changes and, hence, improve the design decision making process.

Abstract:
A filosofia lean thinking, oriunda do Sistema Toyota de Produção, tem como objetivo eliminar desperdícios e adicionar valor ao cliente. Inicialmente implementada na manufatura, esta extrapolou o ambiente fabril, atingindo o ambiente hospitalar, dentre outras operações. Entretanto, além do uso nos serviços de saúde, o conceito lean pode ser empregado em projetos de arquitetura, o chamado lean design. Este, menos difundido e utilizado em relação ao uso em serviços e operações, o que nos motivou a explorar o tema. O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar e apresentar as formas de utilização do lean thinking e lean design em hospitais através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Como problema de pesquisa tem-se a relação da complexidade dos projetos de hospitais, os quais comumente apresentam erros que prejudicam o fluxo das atividades projetuais. Desta forma pretendemos responder as seguintes questões: Como o lean design auxilia o desenvolvimento de projetos de hospitais? e Como o serviço e o projeto do edifício podem ser mais integrados? Através da busca no Portal de Períodicos da CAPES utilizando os termos Lean thinking in healthcare, Lean in healthcare e hospital design AND Lean tools, foram selecionados 15 artigos, os quais contemplavam os requisitos desejados: abordar diretamente no resumo a aplicação do lean thinking ou lean design em hospitais com suas ferramentas de implantação.

Abstract:
An implementation plan for the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by the implementing agency UNESCO, launched in 2005 to build partnerships with various partners mainly aimed to reflect the great diversity of interests, concerns, and challenges for ESD. Embedded in this UN program is the challenge to academic engineering programs to develop a technical workforce which is capable of designing and continually developing sustainable processes and products. ESD therefore requires engineers to be able to learn and perform in an interdisciplinary work environment as critical thinkers and problem solvers, to be value-driven and to practice participatory and transparent decision making. Taking these challenges back into curriculum development, the authors of this paper propose that their Lean Engineering Education (LEE) initiative be examined and scrutinized as a contribution to ESD. Thus, this paper reviews ESD roots and partnerships and, then, present, succinctly, LEE as a curricular innovation for engineering courses that promotes the behavior intended for future engineers, to foster a ESD and the Sustainable Development thinking.

Abstract:
Lean Engineering learning should be compulsory on engineering curricula, and, particularly, on the Industrial Engineering field. Prior to the integration on the Industrial Engineering curriculum, Lean Engineering was already implemented by many organizations and, often, fostered by consulting companies. For this reason, if engineering students were taught about Lean Engineering, they would be better prepared to assume a leadership role in their organizations and/or to better communicate with Lean consultants. Based on a literature review and on the authors’ practice, this paper discuss some approaches that have been used for Lean Engineering learning. Some learning experiences implemented in an engineering master’s degree are presented which make use of effective educational tools based on active methodologies, such as hands-on simulation, Problem or Project-Based Learning (PBL), Conceive-Design-Implement and Operate (CDIO) initiative, among others. This paper also presents these tools and how they address Lean Engineering learning through the lens of Lean Thinking principles. Their advantages in Lean Engineering learning are discussed by gathering the academic and practitioners’ communities opinions. These are based on final year projects’ reports, feedback from students and from organization supervisors.

Abstract:
Technology is becoming more integral across professional fields and within our daily lives, especially since the onset of the pandemic. As such, opportunities to learn computational thinking are important to all students—not only the ones who will eventually study computer science or enter the information technology industry. However, large inequalities continue to exist in access to equipment and learning opportunities needed to build computational thinking skills for students that experience marginalization. We call all educators to integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning across PreK-12 education, while centering inclusivity, to equip students with the skills they need to participate in our increasingly technological world and promote justice for students and society at large. This report issues two calls to action for educators to design inclusive computing learning opportunities for students: (1) integrate computational thinking into disciplinary learning, and (2) build capacity for computational thinking with shared leadership and professional learning. Inspired by the frameworks, strategies, and examples of inclusive computational thinking integration, readers can take away practical implications to reach learners in their contexts.

Abstract:
Computers, smartphones, smart systems, and other technologies are woven into nearly every aspect of our daily lives. As computational technology advances, it is imperative that we educate young people and working adults to thrive in a computational world. In this context, the essential question for American education is: In a computational world, what is important to know and know how to do? This paper argues that computational thinking is both central to computer science and widely applicable throughout education and the workforce. It is a skillset for solving complex problems, a way to learn topics in any discipline, and a necessity for fully participating in a computational world. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating computational thinking across K-12 curriculum.

Full text
Abstract:
Adaptive programming and management principles focused on learning, experimentation, and evidence-based decision making are gaining traction with donor agencies and implementing partners in international development. Adaptation calls for using learning to inform adjustments during project implementation. This requires information gathering methods that promote reflection, learning, and adaption, beyond reporting on pre-specified data. A focus on adaptation changes traditional thinking about program cycle. It both erases the boundaries between design, implementation, and evaluation and reframes thinking to consider the complexity of development problems and nonlinear change pathways.Supportive management structures and processes are crucial for fostering adaptive management. Implementers and donors are experimenting with how procurement, contracting, work planning, and reporting can be modified to foster adaptive programming. Well-designed monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems can go beyond meeting accountability and reporting requirements to produce data and learning for evidence-based decision making and adaptive management. It is important to continue experimenting and learning to integrate adaptive programming and management into the operational policies and practices of donor agencies, country partners, and implementers. We need to devote ongoing effort to build the evidence base for the contributions of adaptive management to achieving international development results.

Abstract:
This report brings together the results of a comparative analysis of the Latin American Network of Innovation Agencies (RELAI) and the European Network of Innovation Agencies (TAFTIE). This research has aimed to foster links between innovation agencies in Europe and Latin America in order to strengthen relationships and create opportunities for learning to take place. Our starting place is a comparison of the ways in which TAFTIE and RELAI agencies are similar, as well as the areas where they diverge. With this report, we hope to stimulate thinking about the variety of roles that innovation agencies can take on and how they can become more effective learning organizations, capable of adapting and evolving in response to changing contexts and able to learn from the experience of their peers worldwide.

Full text
Abstract:
Reliance on established macroeconomic thinking is not of much use in trying to understand what to do in response to the constellation of forces driving up inflation and slowing down growth in these times of COVID-19 and war. This paper attempts to reduce the heat and turn up the light in the debate on the return of high inflation and looming stagflation—by providing evidence-based answers to key (policy) questions concerning the return of high inflation: How close are the parallels between the current conjuncture and the 1970s? What are the differences? Does what is currently happening already amount to stagflation? Can central bankers engineer a ‘soft landing’ of their economies or are we already poised for a deep (global) recession? What are the likely spillover effects of monetary tightening in the US on the emerging economies? What, if anything, can we learn from the monetary and fiscal policy experiences and policy mistakes of the 1970s? And, finally, are there alternative, less socially costly, ways to bring inflation down?

Wright, Alex, Peter Sanders, John Proust, Robin Workman, Tadas Andriejauskas, and Hao Ye. The new toolkit for highways asset management. TRL, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.58446/ojct3729.

Full text
Abstract:
The application of consistent, reliable information is a key component of highway asset management. However, the tools to understand asset performance have developed rapidly over the last decade. These include asset surveys, intelligent infrastructure monitoring, crowd sourcing, remote sensing, data analytics and visualisation. However, their potential is not yet being fully exploited within the highway environment. By bringing these components of sensing and measurement together we could better understand highway assets and improve reactive and proactive decisions. This paper discusses the tools now available to understand the performance of highway assets. It explores their current and future capabilities, the benefits they bring, and the possibilities that could be achieved through their application within an integrated toolkit. Whilst these tools are not in themselves “new”, a key objective of the paper has been to highlight their emerging capabilities, bring awareness to highway asset managers, and encourage their take up. Increased application will inevitably lead to further development in capability and, importantly, accessibility. There are a number of challenges to overcome to draw full value from these technologies. These include the technical, commercial, and social barriers that influence development and accessibility. The paper discusses actions that could help overcome these, which are presented within the context of a roadmap to the implementation of an integrated toolkit. The roadmap is not definitive - it aims to stimulate further thinking, debate and discussion. The effective management of infrastructure assets is essential to deliver a clean, efficient, safe, reliable and accessible network. A joined up and collaborative approach will help the community achieve the benefits of the integrated toolkit that will help asset managers achieve this.
