Abstract:

Concrete damage on buildings can be interpreted as the presence of a change in the physical state of concrete. Damage can be in the form of change on the concrete surface or loss of concrete quality. To be able to identify the concrete damage condition on a building, inspection and assessment is required. Visual assessment is a method that can be a good first step to identifying the concrete damage condition on a building structure. Visual assessment is limited to concrete surface that can be accessed with visual senses. The goal of the research is to develop the concrete damage assessment method on a building visually that can be accepted by construction industry users in Indonesia with the Soft System Methodology (SSM) approach. Application of the SSM approach in this research uses the Root Definition component, CATWOE analysis, Rich Picture, and Conceptual Model. Result that is obtained from research, is the development concept for a visual method of building damage assessment, based on the seven steps according to SSM. Research results are in the form of a method that can identify and assess concrete damage while determining the concrete damage level on a building visually.

Abstract:

Usaha Mikro, Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) merupakan penggerak perekonomian Indonesia yang memiliki potensi yang besar, guna meningkatkan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Namun berdasarkan wawancara terhadap pakar , pendamping dan pelaku UMKM, untuk memaksimalkan potensi tersebut masih banyak masalah di lapangan yang perlu diperbaiki. Oleh sebab itu, rumusan masalah pada penelitian ini adalah hal apa saja yang masalah utama yang terjadi pada UMKM di Tangerang Selatan dan strategi apa yang dapat dilakukan untuk pengembangan UMKM Tangerang Selatan. Sehingga tujuan penelitian ini adalah merumuskan alternatif kebijakan pengembangan UMKM di Tangerang Selatan dengan pendekatan SSM. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan soft system methodology (SSM), dimana inti proses pendekatan metode SSM adalah membandingkan antara kondisi nyata yang ada dengan kondisi model yang seharusnya terjadi, sehingga menghasilkan pemahaman lebih baik atas kondisi yang dijadikan objek penelitian. Dari hasil analisa perbandingan terhadap model konseptual dengan model dunia nyata (aktual), dapat disimpulkan bahwa masalah utama yang dihadapi UMKM adalah masih terdapat gap yang besar antara kondisi ideal yang diharapkan dengan kondisi nyata. Strategi yang perlu dilakukan adalah 1.Akademisi perlu mengarahkan risetnya ke riset terapan yang dibutuhkan UMKM/ industri, pengabdian masyarakat yang bersifat insidentil perlu diarahkan menjadi tematik berkelanjutan. 2. Perbankan perlu memberikan pinjaman ringan khusus bagi para UMKM baik dari segi persyaratan maupun suku bunga. 3.Bantuan pemerintah tidak bersifat sepotong-sepotong tidak saling terkait dan pelatihan yang bersifat proyek, tapi perlu pendampingan, yang berkelanjutan. 4.UMKM perlu didorong untuk memiliki jaringan dan motivasi yang kuat hingga mampu bertahan dan menjawab setiap tantangan. 5.UMKM perlu dibantu untuk mampu memenuhi hak konsumen yang sering kali diabaikan, sehingga mampu membangun kepercayaan dan loyalitas pelanggan.

Abstract:

Consultant as a service provider konstrukusi in order to realize its goal to ensure public safety and create a comfort environment of the construction need to organize a system of internal governance of the company. Governance is translated into the stages of the stages in the implementation of Construction Services. Soft Systems Methodology is the methodology suitable to assist the consultant planner. This methodology can explain their purpose and then designing the system of human activity to achieve these goals. The stages that exist in the methodology of SSM consists of 7 stages that starts from the verification problem situation that is not structured through the design of the system of human activity which are expected to help improve the situation. Think the system is a field transdisiplin that appears as a response to the limitations of a technical approach in the process of reduction to solve a certain problem which in this case is attempted to be applied through the SSM as a method in the application of the online management system (OMS) consultant planner construction. Using the approach of Soft Systems Methodology, manufacturing management system online (CSO) will more fully describe the problems that occurred previously.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the coordinated use of the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) learning cycle with additional bodies of knowledge. This approach furthers focused understanding and appreciation for taking action within social systems. Adapting the SSM learning cycle extends the richness of the real-world situation understood from an analytic soft systems perspective to encompass the appreciation of a problematical situation using additional bodies of knowledge to explain and explore. Examples illustrate using SSM to foster learning and improve teaching in a research education practice, in a national level research project and, further, in professional in-service at advanced level education.

Abstract:

The Dubai Police, striving to meet the needs of one of the most rapidly developing communities in the world, found themselves struggling to satisfy the needs of an expanding and increasingly diverse population as well as dealing with the expectations within the force from high-qualified officers who had benefited from education in the most modern universities. Seeking to improve the service to all stakeholders, HE the Commander-in-Chief introduced the concept of Total Quality Management. The introduction and continuing application of Total Quality Management was undertaken by an over-arching general department dedicated to Total Quality together with the introduction of experts into every general department. Unfortunately, the benefits were not as universal or as consistent as had been hoped. It was thought blocks to progress arose from the rigidity of the hierarchical and militaristic style of leadership prevalent in the force. A leadership style more inclusive of officers at all level was needed, one which was also alive to the expectations of external stakeholders, the residents, visitors and executives of business interests in Dubai. The researcher was asked to study how leadership operated in the Dubai Police, how leaders viewed progress in Total Quality Management among their peers and subordinates and how subordinates assessed their immediate superiors’ performance as leaders. To this end, 31 semi-structured interviews provided data for qualitative analysis and 475 respondents completed a questionnaire for quantitative analysis. The interviews revealed great respect for the military traditions of the Dubai Police, pride in progress made in Total Quality Management to date, an acknowledgement that this had been uneven and of the existence of pockets of resistance, results borne out of the responses to the questionnaire. Subjects were keen to improve the situation but had not embraced the latest management techniques available, tending to use reductionist methods to solve problems. The researcher was requested to explore the benefits of holistic systems thinking to liberate consideration of problems and blocks to further progress in Total Quality Management. The Dubai Police were advised that systems thinking has advantages over older methods as it involves consideration of all aspects of a problem as a whole, including the interest of all stakeholders, leading to more satisfactory solutions of wider application. Among its advantages are the broader spectrum of investigation called for the greater involvement of subordinates so that a much more detailed (richer) picture can be obtained. The Dubai Police were therefore recommended to employ Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as a means to achieving flexibility in leadership, deeper involvement of lower tiers of management in planning and quicker reaction to changing crime patterns. The Dubai Police should study western policing methods more deeply and invoke local universities in further research. The research indicated the Dubai Police needed to be more attuned to global development in policing attitudes and techniques.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with a research project conducted with a Swedish company to provide recommendations for developing a prototypical information system for the company. The system’s goal was to consolidate data regarding the company’s supply chain and packaging conditions in order to find improvements in packaging development. The thesis employed the use of Soft Systems Methodology to aid with the system development process. A qualitative explorative study was designed for this purpose. Soft Systems Methodology was used after exploring alternative methodologies. This was chosen as the researchers found it important to engage the case company in the system development process. Four semi-structured interviews and two workshops with the relevant officials were the main methods of collecting data. Models such as a rich picture, CATWOE and PQR formula were utilized during the research to visualize important aspects of the system development process. As a result of the research, the researchers were able to provide the company with recommendations for how to further proceed with the development process. Another result of the study was that Soft Systems Methodology was able to unlock tacit information. The methodology also allowed for a consideration of the implementation of an iterative process to support the development. The results of this research suggest that introducing and making use of Soft Systems Methodology is very stimulating in an environment not already using it. The research provided insights needed for progress towards a successful implementation of a new information system, and contributes a real-world SSM case in a corporate environment. The researchers also suggest future opportunities for research that could further build on the work presented in the thesis.

The Patient Safety has been, in the last decades a thematic evidenced in the Brazilian and world scenario. There are cases that refer to bad prescription, errors in medication administration , stress and professional disillusion. Attached to concerns regarding the quality of medical records, Patient Safety becomes a study of high importance for Risk Reduction, both for patients as for professionals and health services. Therefore, this study concerned to better understand the reality of management of records of Alcides Carneiro University Hospital (ACUH) a federal public institution in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba. The aspirations for improvements in service hospital records, along with initial actions of ACUH Management Risk and Patient Safety Center, were the main indicators for this study to have its start up. The focus of this work was to understand the situation seen as problematic by the institution Hospital Records Division and, through observations and systemic reviews, identify opportunities for improvement. The methodology used was the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), recognized worldwide in the management of public health services, especially in studies carried out in National Health Service (NHS) in Britain. The application of SSM had allowed greater understanding of how the records management is conducted in ACUH, and the main obstacles for attendance to Brazilian national guidelines Risk Management and Patient Safety. In addition to organizational learning, this study led to the construction of a project named the Medical Records Management Improvement Program (MRMIP), which may be applied by the administration of ACUH.
A Segurança do Paciente tem sido, nas últimas décadas, uma temática evidenciada no cenário nacional brasileiro e mundial. São casos que se referem à má prescrição, à administração de medicamentos de forma equivocada, ao estresse e à desilusão profissional. Atrelada à preocupação referente à qualidade dos registros médicos, a Segurança do Paciente é um estudo de suma importância para a Redução de Riscos, tanto para os pacientes quanto para os profissionais e serviços de saúde. Este estudo teve a preocupação de compreender melhor a realidade da gestão de prontuários do Hospital Universitário Alcides Carneiro (HUAC), instituição pública federal da cidade de Campina Grande, na Paraíba. Os anseios por melhorias no serviço de registros hospitalares, aliados às ações iniciais da Gerência de Risco e Núcleo de Segurança do Paciente do HUAC, foram os principais indicadores para que este estudo tivesse início. O foco foi compreender a situação tida como problemática pela Divisão de Registro Hospitalar da instituição e, por meio de observações e avaliações sistêmicas, identificar oportunidades de melhoria. A metodologia utilizada foi a Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), reconhecida mundialmente no âmbito da gestão em serviços de saúde pública, principalmente em estudos realizados pelo National Health Service (NHS), o serviço de saúde pública do Reino Unido. A aplicação da SSM ampliou o entendimento sobre a gestão de prontuários no HUAC, bem como apresentou os principais obstáculos para que sejam atendidas as diretrizes nacionais brasileiras de Gestão de Riscos e Segurança do Paciente. Além do aprendizado organizacional, este estudo propiciou a construção do Programa de Melhorias da Gestão de Prontuários (PMGP), que poderá ser aplicado pela administração do HUAC.

As organizações hospitalares compreendem uma das mais complexas unidades gerenciais, exigindo do gestor hospitalar da cadeia logística de medicamentos que, neste trabalho, são os antirretrovirais, uma proficiência no seu gerenciamento. Pois uma falha na sua distribuição, a percepção, quanto à qualidade do serviço oferecido, é imediatamente comprometida. Esta pesquisa foi realizada no Hospital das Clínicas da UFPE e objetivou avaliar a percepção da qualidade em relação à prestação de serviços logísticos no programa de medicamentos antirretrovirais. Este é um estudo exploratório-descritivo de natureza qualitativa, realizado por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, junto aos farmacêuticos e técnicos em farmácia do hospital em estudo e coordenadores logísticos do programa HIV/AIDS da Secretaria Estadual de Saúde. Um pilar, para o entendimento da qualidade em relação à prestação de serviços logísticos, é a visão sistêmica do funcionamento da cadeia de distribuição através da Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), a qual permitiu compreender seu funcionamento a partir das diferentes percepções. Desta situação adveio à importância também em avaliá-la, com base nas dimensões da qualidade percebida em serviços logísticos, quais sejam: confiabilidade no prazo de entrega; confiabilidade da quantidade e do produto correto; flexibilidade no serviço prestado; disponibilidade; apoio pós-entrega; armazenamento etc.; no sentido de realizar um monitoramento mais apurado dos processos ou propor ações que previnam problemas futuros no atendimento às necessidades dos profissionais do programa e usuários convivendo com o HIV/AIDS. Os resultados obtidos possibilitaram uma avaliação detalhada do funcionamento da cadeia logística dos medicamentos antirretrovirais, a importância de uma gestão eficiente do estoque, do fluxo de informações e do planejamento real da demanda. Entende-se, então, a necessidade de repensar a estrutura física atual no sentido de possibilitar um atendimento humanizado aos usuários e familiares, e rever, junto à coordenação logística estadual, as cláusulas contratuais firmadas. Por fim, ficou evidente que algumas dimensões avaliadas demandam mudanças operacionais, tendo em vista o alto valor monetário agregado; e que o acesso contínuo a terapia traz consigo, não só a satisfação dos profissionais e usuários, a credibilidade dos serviços e a construção de uma imagem positiva, mas principalmente, o aumento da sobrevida desses usuários.
Hospital organizations have one of the most complex unit managements, demanding from drugs supply chain hospital manager, which in this paper is antiretroviral, a proficiency in management. As a distribution failure occurs, the perception about the service quality offered is immediately compromised. This research was conducted at the Hospital das Clínicas, UFPE and aimed to evaluate the perception of quality related to logistic services provision in the antiretroviral drug program. This is an exploratory-descriptive qualitative study, conducted through semi-structured interviews with the study hospital’s pharmacists and pharmacy technicians and logistical coordinators of the HIV/AIDS program from the State Department of Health. A foundation to understand the quality associated to logistic services provision is a systemic view about the supply chain operation through Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), which allows the operation understanding from different perceptions. This situation also originated the importance to evaluate it based on dimensions of perceived quality in any logistic services: reliability in prompt delivery, amount and correct product reliability, service flexibility, availability, post-delivery support, etc., in order to achieve a more accurate monitoring process or propose actions to prevent future problems to program’s professionals and users living with HIV/AIDS. The results enabled a detailed assessment of the supply chain functioning from antiretroviral drugs, the importance of an efficient stock management, the information flow and the real demand planning. It made to understand the need to rethink the current physical structure in order to allow a humanized care to patients and families, and review along with the state logistic coordination the contract terms signed. Finally, it was clear that some dimensions evaluated require operational changes, considering the high monetary value; and the continued access to therapy brings not only the professionals and users’ satisfaction, the credibility of services and building a positive image, but mainly increasing these users survival.

Abstract:

The Master thesis focuses on the application of Information Systems in the field of Library and Information Science. Within the context of organizational learning, a collaborative user-centered approach is used to produce desired system characteristics and future research suggestions. More specifically, this research study explores the library users’ and academic librarians’ perceptions of the current library discovery and access services as mediated through the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) of the Academic Library of the School of Philosophy at Athens University in Greece. Additionally, it explores their desired characteristics for the ‘public facing’ Integrated Library System (ILS), of which the OPAC constitutes a module, in order to generate recommendations that guide the Academic Library staff members’ collaborative design of a more user-centered library information system. The study is built upon the systems thinking framework of Checkland’s Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). Applied theories and design processes guide research processes aimed at advancing both inclusive social learning and system improvements.

Abstract:

The main goal of this work is to develop an innovation framework for companies, with application on an existing company, that needs to pass through a process of innovation. In this document a new methodology is created by merging two theories into one. The first theory is a new created creative theory called "The Theory of Ten" (Teorie Deseti), in this case used for finding the initial conditions for innovation. The second theory is Systems Theory, more concretely Soft Systems Methodology. Both of the theories were partially adapted and merged to an unified unique methodology.

Abstract:

Driven by the highly cyclical nature of their increasingly commoditised product offerings, many capital goods manufacturers are seeing the benefits of delivering services integrated with their core product offerings. Whilst existing research is almost unanimous in advocating the value of a servitization strategy, understanding how these product-service systems (PSSs) can be developed and delivered remains a significant challenge. The closely related PSS field, which has its heritage in the environmental and social science disciplines, is more mature in this area and a number of models have been proposed. The research reported within this thesis contributes to knowledge by investigating whether the approaches to PSS development, reported within the PSS literature, reflects the PSS development practice of servitized manufacturers. More specifically, soft systems methodology was used to explore the delivery of PSSs within the UK railway industry in order to gain an understanding of the implications for developing new PSSs. With this understanding, the existing approaches to PSS development were evaluated with respect to one servitized manufacturer through an in-depth single case study. The findings highlighted a number of significant differences between the practice of the servitized manufacturer and the literature. A survey was used to investigate whether the differences were generalisable to a larger sample of servitized manufacturers. The findings point towards the simplification of the reported phases within PSS development and the inclusion of a number of previously unreported processes and activities. Based on these results a new model of PSS development is proposed to better reflect the practice of servitized manufacturers. The model, consisting of four phases and seventeen processes, was operationalised in the form of a workbook and tested through application. Applying the workbook resulted in the successful creation of a number of new PSS concepts.

Abstract:

Business Information Systems education-such as majoring in Business Computing, E-Commerce and Business Computing, and Information Systems--is the basic foundation of all Information Systems professionals. So good planning of these programmes is an indispensable element in the development of computing disciplines. The traditional ways of planning an education programme are mainly based on understanding the goals and including appropriate teaching modules to fulfil the requirements. The major drawback of this development methodology is that the importance of different (though relevant) modules in the development process may be undermined. For instance, human and environmental factors are fundamental to planning an education programme and must be taken into account. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is a well-known model for information system design. This paper proposes to see an education programme as a system and adopts the soft systems concept to represent the design of the programme. Based on the soft systems concept, a new methodology, named Soft Systems Programme Planning Methodology (SSPPM), for programme planning is proposed to support designing and planning a new postsecondary programme. The SSPPM not only considers all relevant facets, but it also helps the school management to clarify the connectivity of the elements in the design of a programme.

Abstract:

The review of literature pertaining to systems analysis and design and the design of systems for online teaching and learning has identified some “gaps” and has shown the need for a more specialised and specific method for the design of such systems. This paper presents research that was conducted to collect information to assist in the filling of the gaps of the systems analysis and design knowledge within Australia and also presents a method for the development of online teaching and learning systems. Currently design is done in an ad-hoc fashion with little formal input from the student users; this research aims to rectify this. The paper puts forwards an educational design approach based upon Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). The outcome of the research is a practical method - the Method for Educational Analysis and Design (MEAD).
