  • A Purpose. As organizations become more team oriented, research on teams continues to increase especially involving how teams contribute to organizational performance and effectiveness. Although there has been existing research on Kaizen teams in the private sector, very little research has included Kaizen teams in the public sector. In this paper, we present a method to study Kaizen teams in a local Spanish government that have been using Kaizen teams for more than ten years. Design/methodology/approach. Quantitative research was adopted for this study. Twenty teams participated in the study by filling out the Team Learning and Development Inventory (TLI) proposed by Lingham (2004). In addition, we interviewed members of the teams in order to clarify and assure our quantitative results. Findings Based on the findings, we propose that Kaizen teams should practice both Continuous (CI) and Process Improvements (PI) in their projects. We also propose that Kaizen teams should not be teams skilled only at developing better improvement processes (both CI and PI) for the organization but that such teams should also be skilled at engaging in team development using both CI and PI processes internally-a Kaizen within Kaizen teams approach. Research limitations. Its based in one case study. However, it is working paper and the research project still is developing. Practical Implications (if possible). Serve as a guide to practitioners (Public managers) who desire to understand how their Kaizen teams involves both internal (conversational spaces) and external (methodology) perspectives that would contribute to both team and organizational effectiveness. In this paper, we focus on the Internal Processes (both CI and PI) using the TLI as an effective method for Kaizen teams to engage in the Kaizen process. Originality/value. This study is one of the first to look at team's performance using Team Learning and Development Inventory in Spain's public sector. It is also the first to mention about the relationship of the team's performance and the implementation of process improvement methodologies in Spain local government environment.

  • 소프트웨어 개발 초기에 개발비용, 소요 인력과 기간을 추정하는 것은 소프트웨어공학 분야의 주요한 요소이며, 어려운 문제이다. 소프트웨어 개발 소요 인력을 추정하기 위한 대부분의 모델들은 소프트웨어 요구사항 명세서로부터 측정된 기능점수를 이용하였다. 본 논문은 기능점수에 기반하여 프로젝트에 대한 가장 실제적이고 생산적인 팀 규모와 개발기간을 선택하는 지침으로 사용될 수 있는 정보를 제공하기 위해 생산성 척도와 비용 척도를 도입하였다. 소프트웨어 개발과 유지보수를 수행한 300개 프로젝트 데이터 집합을 2개의 서브 그룹인 개발 프로젝트와 유지보수 프로젝트로 분류하였다. 생산성과 비용 측도 기준에 의해 분석한 결과 작은 팀 규모와 최소한의 개발기간이 소요되었을 때, 프로젝트가 성공적으로 수행됨을 보였다. 또한, 연구 결과에 근거하여 기능점수 규모에 따른 개발팀의 규모와 개발기간을 추정할 수 있는 모델을 제안하였다. 본 제안 모델은 소프트웨어 규모에 따라 필요한 개발팀의 규모와 개발기간 평가 기준을 제공한다.

  • 비즈니스 교육 현장에서 학생들의 팀 활동은 매우 흔한 현상이 되었다. 그러나 팀 활동에 대한 학생들의 사회적 태만과 무임승차 현상은 교수자에게 있어서 해결하기 어려운 문제로 남는다. 이에 본 연구는 '넌 해고야' 방식을 우리 대학의 비즈니스 교육 현장에 해당 방식을 적용해보고, 실질적 효과가 있는지 활용가능성을 검증하였다. '넌 해고야' 방식은 2단계를 거쳐 팀 프로젝트 활동을 실시하는 수업에 간단하게 적용할 수 있다. 팀원들은 팀 활동에 참여하지 않는 무임승차자에 대한 구체적 내용을 이메일로 당사자와 교수자에게 동시에 보내 공식적으로 경고하고, 이후에도 팀 참여 활동이 수정되지 않으면 두 번째 이메일로 팀에서 해고시킬 수 있다. 총 257명의 학부 학생을 대상으로 '넌 해고야' 방식의 실질적 효과를 검증한 결과, 무임승차를 방지하고 팀 활동 참여와 학습 동기를 촉진하는 효과적인 기제로 활용될 수 있음이 밝혀졌다.

  • 이 논문은 펜실베니아 주립대학에서 실시된 수업개선에 관한 것으로 그 내용은 디자인 프로젝트를 재료역학 수업에 응용한 결과이다. 전통적인 강의를 활용한 수업과는 달리 학생들은 기계역학 디자인의 기초와 재료, 표준, 경제적인 요소, 제작상의 특성, 환경문제, 법 및 안전과 관련된 제반 문제들 등이 서로 연관되어 있음을 학습하도록 격려되었다. 협동학습 디자인 프로젝트를 통해 강사들은 학생들이 팀 단위의 의사결정, 평가기준의 설정과 통합, 현실적인 대안의 발견, 현실적인 제한점들에 대한 고려 등의 보다 고차원적인 내용을 학습할 수 있도록 도왔다. 새로운 수업개선이 학생들의 학습에 미친 영향을 알아보기 위해 1998년 가을학기에 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이 설문조사 결과에 따르면 학생들은 재료역학 입문수업에 대해 높은 가치를 부여하였다. 그러나 디자인 프로젝트에 대한 가치점수는 낮게 나타났고 오히려 전통적인 강의에 높은 가치를 부여했다. 더불어 이전 선수과목에서 높은 점수를 받았던 학생들이 디자인 프로젝트에 대해 낮은 가치를 보고했다. 공학교육자들을 위한 시사점과 향후 연구과제에 대한 제

  • A high-performing Earned Value Management System (EVMS) can influence project success and help stakeholders meet project objectives. Although EVMS processes are well-supported by technical guidelines and standards, project managers often face challenges related to the project culture, team, resources, and business practices that make up the project environment within which an EVMS is being used. A comprehensive literature review revealed a lack of a data-driven and consistent assessment frameworks that can gauge the environment surrounding EVMS implementation. This paper will discuss the EVMS environment of construction and environmental projects, and examine its impact on cost performance. The authors used a multi-method approach to identify 27 environment factors that make up the EVMS environment, assessing them on 18 construction and environmental projects worth over $2 billion of total cost. Research methods employed include: (1) a literature review of more than 300 references; (2) a survey of 294 respondents; and (3) remote research charrettes with more than 60 participating expert practitioners. Culture (one of the identified environment categories) was found to be relatively more important in terms of its impact on the EVMS environment, followed by people, practices, and resources. These exploratory results show statistically significant differences in cost performance between completed projects with either a good or poor environment, for the sample projects. Key environment factors are outlined, and guidance is provided to practitioners around how to set up an effective EVMS environment in a construction or environmental project to inform decision-making and support achieving the project cost objectives successfully.

  • Horizontal construction projects such as oil and gas pipeline projects typically involve repetitive-work activities with the same crew and equipment from one end of the project to the other. Repetitive scheduling also known as linear scheduling is known to have superior schedule management capabilities specifically for such horizontal construction projects. This study discusses on expanding the capabilities of repetitive scheduling to account for the variance in production rates and visual representation by developing an automated alignment based linear scheduling program for applying temporal and spatial changes in production rates. The study outlines a framework to apply changes in productions rates when and where they will occur along the horizontal alignment of the project and illustrates the complexity of construction through the time-location chart through a new linear scheduling model, Linear Scheduling Model with Varying Production Rates (LSMVPR). The program uses empirically derived production rate equations with appropriate variables as an input at the appropriate time and location based on actual 750 mile natural gas liquids pipeline project starting in Wyoming and terminating in the center of Kansas. The study showed that the changes in production rates due to time and location resulted in a close approximation of the actual progress of work as compared to the planned progress and can be modeled for use in predicting future linear construction projects. LSMVPR allows the scheduler to develop schedule durations based on minimal project information. The model also allows the scheduler to analyze the impact of various routes or start dates for construction and the corresponding impact on the schedule. In addition, the graphical format lets the construction team to visualize the obstacles in the project when and where they occur due to a new feature called the Activity Performance Index (API). This index is used to shade the linear scheduling chart by time and location with the variation in color indicating the variance in predicted production rate from the desired production rate.

  • Although Changdong Sanggye area has been developed during 1980s as a new city for the supply of low-income housing, currently it was degraded to a bed town located outside Seoul. However, Changdong Sanggye area is designated as the center of a metropolitan area in '2030 Seoul City Basic Plan' due to a variety of potential factors such as a traffic center for linking metropolitan areas, location of 15 universities, and neighboring natural environment like Jungnang stream and Buckhan mountain. The purpose of urban regeneration plan is to create a new CBD of Changdong Sanggye which is the center of vocational and cultural lives of 3.2 million people in the northeastern metropolitan area. To achieve the purpose, 12 unit projects and 24 sub-unit projects are set up based on the three major goals and core strategies. An enterprise project team of northeastern area was newly founded and then a dedicated organization was established by the Seoul government in 2015 in order to integrate separated urban regeneration related functions. In the Seoul government an administrative council and a project promotion council are operated for consultation and coordination between the administrative divisions and government projects for urban regeneration. Through the success in Changdong Sanggye regeneration project, they are expected to have economic effects such as job creation and increase in tax revenue and to re-vitalize the area as a new economic center in northeastern Seoul having amenities and cultural facilities and waterfront parks.

  • In Korean coastal areas, land reclamations are main development projects that should be based on environmental impact assessment(EIA), because those human interventions can change coastlines, damage tidal flats, and pollute adjacent areas to threat seafood safety and devaluate overall ecosystem service value. Existing procedures of the EIA for land reclamation projects were diagnosed and evaluated to enhance them. Problems were identified in the designation of survey areas, the consistency in survey sites and periods, the standardization of survey methods and reports, the confidence of survey results and the verification of predictions. Lack of integration was noticeable and could be improved by synthesizing different assessments from topography geography, marine physics, marine chemistry and marine biology. We suggest that successful precautionary marine environment management requires readjusting the cost of EIA, recruiting experts in marine environment, constructing database and establishing specialized assessment system.

  • The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is supporting the "Environmentally Friendly Fisheries Promotion and Private Assistance Project" to increase production of eco-friendly, high-value-added foods. Private-backed operators selected for the project will have an economic opportunity to build, expand or refurbish eco-friendly fishing grounds. To facilitate this, the scope of project support was expanded after 2015 and an opportunity was prepared for private subsidy projects to grow to a new level in terms of quality and quantity by switching to a public offering project. However, starting in 2017, demand from the private sector will plunge and selected projects will be delayed or the project implementation rate will be lowered. It was a time for subsidy-related laws and systems to be reinforced but private subsidy projects do not temporarily shrink simply due to the increased administrative burden on private subsidy operators on subsidy management. It plans to review the correlation between laws and systems related to the construction of fish farms and suggest ways to enhance the efficiency of implementation so that economic advantages, the biggest advantage of the private subsidy project, can be recovered within the current legal system.
