Abstract:
IT became an indispensable structure for organizations, whether public or private. Although it is considered a support area, IT plays a strategic role in organizations, its procedures must be systematically conducted. This article addresses best practices in IT Service Change Management and compares these practices with current implementation in a court of law. The purpose of this comparison is to verify the adherence of the implemented process and to suggest adjustments that can guarantee quality of services. For that, a review of the pertinent bibliography and a case study of the processes implemented and executed by the court was carried out. The preliminary comparative analysis demonstrated that the court’s IT services change management activities have opportunities for improvement both in the process and for implementation of control mechanisms, which were suggested by the researchers.

Abstract:
Purpose Past research examining Business Process Management (BPM) mainly focussed on either process alignment, business process orientation (BPO) or process improvement initiative (PII) constructs. However, based on the definition of BPM by Zairi (1997) and Lee and Dale (1998), BPM comprises all the elements of process alignment, BPO and PII. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to present a total view of measuring BPM through combining BPO and PIIs. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative research technique was applied for this study. The study was carried out in Malaysia. Close-ended survey instrument was administered to a large number of organisations. Findings The findings revealed that the elements of BPM cover both process management as well as process improvements. Originality/value The findings from this study is important for practitioners to regard continuous improvement as a component of BPM practice.

Abstract:
In today's business environment it is impossible for one or one group of people to fully know or understand all the dynamics associated with the operational business processes within an organization. This is why it is essential that companies map, monitor, analyze and collaborate on process knowledge and management improvement. It is here that organizations are looking towards Business Process Management (BPM), which would help to maximize the bottom-line impact of process improvement efforts through effective communication. It supports all elements of business processes - from modeling and documentation, communicating, measurement and analysis, to continuous process management and improvement. BPM is the orchestration of various business systems into identifiable and controllable systems. This paper through in depth literature review and keen observation attempts to look at what BPM means, what it includes and how it would be strategically advantageous if the organizations adopt it.

Abstract:
The importance of quality to any and all organizations is well known, and it is necessary to teach employees quality discipline. However, the analysis of literature indicates that many of quality improvement programs are ineffective. This article discusses knowledge management processes for the organizational learning mechanisms that can help to plan and implement quality management programs more successfully. The processes are implemented in sequence for the development of knowledge management in an organization in which user needs and expectations are recognized as an input. The processes are controlled by knowledge management strategy planning, knowledge process, customer and knowledge supplier relationships. The mechanisms are led by a knowledge management leader, knowledge management personnel, and knowledge management system infrastructure. The input is transformed into knowledge management results in terms of users’ needs and expectations of knowledge management outcomes, knowledge management strategy and planning outcomes, knowledge management delivery outcomes. By using the knowledge management process organizations can increase the effectiveness of quality management training.Keywords: quality management, knowledge management, ISO 9000 standards, quality programsŽinių vadybos procesas kokybės gerinimo programoms įgyvendinti Adolfas Kaziliūnas Santrauka Daugelis organizacijų, siekdamos konkurencinio pranašumo, įtraukia kokybės gerinimą į savo stra­teginius tikslus, tačiau literatūros analizė rodo, kad dažnai kokybės gerinimo programos nepasiekia numatytų savo tikslų. Tai dažniausiai atsitinka dėl netikslaus kokybės programų pritaikymo organiza­cijos reikmėms ir netinkamai vykdomo mokymosi proceso. Šio tyrimo tikslas – rasti būdų efektyviau įgyvendinti kokybės gerinimo programas. Tyrimai parodė, kad pasitelkdamos žinių vadybos patirtį organizacijos gali padidinti kokybės gerinimo pro­gramų efektyvumą. Žinių vadybos procesai padeda organizacijai geriau analizuoti, parengti ir įsisavin­ti aktualią organizacijos darbuotojams informaciją. Straipsnyje pateikiamas literatūros analizės pagrin­du parengtas septynių fazių žinių vadybos procesas. Procese nuosekliai išdėstytos veiklos, kurias reikia atlikti rengiant ir įgyvendinant kokybės gerinimo programą. Prieš rengiant šią programą būtina išana­ lizuoti organizacijos darbuotojų mokymosi poreikius ir pagal tai suformuluoti mokymų strategiją. Organi­zacijos vadovai turėtų asmeniškai dalyvauti planuo­jant programą ir pageidautina – mokant darbuotojus. Kokybės gerinimo programos tikslai ir jų pasiekimo planai turi būti aiškiai apibrėžti. Į planavimo proce­są būtina įtraukti vidurinės grandies vadybininkus, nes jie geriausiai pastebi darbuotojų žinių trūkumus. Būtina rimtai vertinti dalies darbuotojų skeptišką požiūrį į mokymų programą ir reaguoti į jų pasta­bas. Labai svarbu mokymosi rezultatų matavimas ir analizė bei nuolatinis grįžtamojo ryšio su programos dalyviais palaikymas. Rezultatų matavimas ir anali­zė turi būti atliekama po kiekvienos esminės proceso fazės: vartotojų poreikių nustatymo, mokymosi stra­tegijos suformulavimo ir planavimo, mokymo planų įgyvendinimo.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of combining process mapping and system dynamics (SD) in an organization’s ongoing business process improvement projects. Design/methodology/approach Norfield Industries, designer and manufacturer of prehung door machinery, used process mapping and SD in a project targeting the improvement of its design document control process. The project team first used process mapping to document its current process and identify potential improvements. The team then developed an SD model to investigate the potential impacts of proposed process changes. Findings The case study supports the communication and transparency benefits of process mapping reported in earlier studies. Consistent with other case studies using simulation, SD provided useful insights into possible results of proposed process changes. Research limitations/implications The findings have limitations with respect to generalizability consistent with the use of a case study methodology. Practical implications Organizational managers desiring to include simulation modeling in process improvement efforts have a choice between discrete event simulation and SD. SD may prove able to consume less organizational resources than discrete-event simulation and provide similar benefits related to reducing the risks associated with process changes. Originality/value The current case study adds to the existing literature documenting the use of process mapping combined with simulation modeling in process improvement efforts. The case study supports existing literature regarding the value of process mapping in making system processes more transparent. The results also support previous findings regarding the value of SD for simulating the possible results associated with scenarios under consideration for process improvements.

Abstract:
This paper intends to compare two major process improvement programs, Re-engineering and Total Quality Management (TQM), with the focus of human aspects. Reengineering is a result-focused and IT technology-centered approach for radical process change. Lack of employment involvement usually results in unexpected resistance to such process innovation. On the other hand, TQM focuses on continuous improvement with using all available human and capital resources. In addition to customer, TQM emphasizes both management and employee involvement for constant incremental improvement. The human-centered strategy emphasizes the value of people in process improvement. From the human aspect, these two programs are complementary. The emphasis of human value also rebuilds the paradigm of process evolvement from short-term innovation to a long-term improvement.

Abstract:
Self-assessment is a method for reviewing the activities and performance of an organization. This paper reports the findings of a study in four organizations of their management of this process. Each company followed the key self-assessment stages of planning, developing awareness, implementation and review but carried out the process in a different manner. The level of total quality management (TQM) maturity, available resources and organizational culture were the main factors for the differences. The key to successful self-assessment is effective management and the use of a team to manage the process. The most important activities were identified as: selection of a suitable model, appropriate approach(es) for the assessment, provision of appropriate training, monitoring the progress of improvement actions, establishment of a ‘closed-loop’ structure for the improvement cycle and integration of improvement with the strategic business plan. It is also pointed out that self-assessment is not without difficulties, including scarcity of time, overemphasis on scoring and scores, failing to follow-up improvement actions and lack of communication.

Abstract:
This article presents a methodology for training process improvement using process management and a systemic approach to training on the production company example. There is explicated the training process improvement systematically. Concretely, there is identified and presented existing training process (by BPMN graphic language), it is analyzed its appropriateness/efficacy (by experience, customer complaints, and questionnaire method), also are explained supportive measures for operative monitoring and new training process control. Offered methodology for training process improvement can be used in all companies where continuous training processes for new employees are needed. Using process solution this study resolved three research problems and validated three hypotheses: a) customer complaint level, skill level, and satisfaction after training process was not optimal; b) training process is redesigned according to defined weaknesses of the existing training process and according to systemic training approach; c) supporting tools to the new training process are new operative systems of evidence, evaluation, and control. In such a manner it is created a model with training target outcomes (high quality of skills after training process in sense of speed and quality of working performance) by which are generated the presumptions for efficacy improvement on the level of production workers and a production company.

Abstract:
The evolution of the global competitive system has prompted companies on the necessity of an integrated managerial system. In this view, the promotion and application of integrated managerial systems (IMS) represent the natural evolution of a company’s strategy, as well as a choice that can no longer be postponed. The development of integrated management systems allows a complete analysis of environmental aspect and above all allows the improvement of business performance by optimizing resources. As it is explained the correct application of IMS allows to highlight inefficiencies and weaknesses and plan improvements and corrective actions. The aim of the work is to offer a series of technical and conceptual tools to highlight the most critical aspects in order to guide decision-making process for the development of procedures, of human resources management and management controls, necessary to meet standards and to facilitate the development of a culture of quality, safety, and environment.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the mammography and ultrasound screening processes to increase the healthcare system quality and patients’ pleasantness while decreasing costs. Design/methodology/approach The data storage system is very insufficient so that data are collected from hospital staff and by personal observations. A lean management tool, value stream mapping is used to see the general view of the radiology department with its problems at a glance. Data and the map are used as a guide to conduct a quality house to make a prioritization between the problems, to decide which one to solve first, of patients at the hospital. Findings Problems of the radiology department related to mammography and ultrasound and suggestions to these problems according to the quality house conducted. Originality/value The paper consequently focuses on the value creation process and on how to revisit managing for quality in the systems perspective.

Abstract:
PurposeBusiness process management (BPM) and lean management (LM) are both recognized for improving organizational performance through continuous improvement, yet their similarities and differences have been poorly discussed so far. This paper aims to find their main differences and similarities using a systematic method for literature review.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses a structured literature review known as SYSMAP (Scientometric and sYStematic yielding MApping Process). The method integrates bibliometrics and content analysis procedures to perform in-depth analysis of the literature at hand.FindingsBoth methodologies seek continuous improvement with focus on the customer and process standardization, but they are divergent mainly in relation to the flow they intend to improve. The impossibility of implementing both methodologies in an effective way was also observed, mainly due to the differences they present in relation to how to achieve the continuous improvement cycle.Research limitations/implicationsAs any other literature reviews, the major limitation is to have omitted relevant literature even though all available procedures have been used to avoid this situation.Practical implicationsThis paper offers a novel perspective from the practitioner side. LM may be better used in human-intensive process improvement whereas BPM in technology-intensive ones. Such characteristics open up new opportunities for practitioners aiming at integrating both approaches.Originality/valueThis is the first paper that systematically analyses the body of literature of BPM and LM with the means to better understand their similarities and differences.

Abstract:
Measuring and managing project quality is one of the fundamental problems in project management. In this paper, once project is completed, we define the measure of task?s quality and the measure of overall project quality. We construct mathematical model of the process of quality improvement as the sequence of mutually dependent projects, where every project in the sequence is the revision of its previous one. We prove that it is possible, at certain point, to obtain a project with the highest quality measure and with failures less than the initially given level. The purpose of this paper is, to help companies to achieve the satisfying level of project quality by using the proposed model. According to our knowledge, paper offers an original connection between project management and measure theory potentially interesting to a reader for further research.
