Process-oriented information logistics is proposed as a novel concept aimed at supporting and improving the execution of an organization’s operational processes by the embedding of analytic information and/or analysis capabilities into process execution. The article reports on findings of an exploratory study that is directed at identifying design factors and realization approaches of process-oriented information logistics. Based on this empirical analysis, so-called development situations are identified. They represent abstractions of situational characteristics that influence the applicability, effectiveness, and efficiency of an information systems development method. The development situations are systematized in a so-called context type vs. project type matrix. Insights into development situations of process-oriented information logistics are particularly useful for the engineering of situational methods aimed at the implementation and advancement of this concept.

Palembang Bhakti Nusantara High School is one of the High Schools (SMA) that has used information technology in certain activities. Palembang's Bhakti Nusantara High School utilizes technology to facilitate teaching and learning by applying the Online Examination. At present, the exam still conducts tests using paper so that there is a need for further development to help and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of performance carried out in accordance with the business processes that run at the Bhakti Nusantara Palembang High School. This Online Examination is used to facilitate the management of master data needed to support the examination activities and the management of exam master data values. The software development method used is the web engineering method. This Online Examination implementation uses PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript and MySQL Database Management System (DBMS).

Concerning the several pest attacks in Karawang, Cirebon, and Cianjur districts a mobile computing-based information system is built to accelerate the data flow and early warning information to the person in charge at Ministry of Agriculture. Based on interviews and surveys to the locations planted with rice, corn and soybeans some data of the breadth and intensity of pest attack is obtained, used as the basis design for the early warning data structure. The information systems development method refers to the systems development life cycle (SDLC): identification of needs data and information, analysis and system design, testing, implementation and evaluation system. The result is a mobile computing-based information system of pest control and crop disease early warning that can accelerate data and information transmission that the stakeholders in the Ministry of Agriculture can make decisions quickly and correctly.

Point Of Departure

Method configuration is a specific type of Method Engineering (ME) that takes an existing organization-wide Information Systems Development Method (ISDM) as its point of departure. Existing assembly-based ME approaches are not well suited to this task. As an alternative, this paper suggests a metamethod approach to tailoring organization-wide ISDMs. We refer to this approach as the Method for Method Configuration (MMC). MMC takes into account the need to combine structure, which is one reason for choosing an organization-wide ISDM in the first place, with flexibility, which is essential for making the chosen ISDM fit actual projects. The metamethod is built using a three-layered reuse model comprising method components, configuration packages, and configuration templates. These concepts are combined efficiently to produce a situational method and thereby to facilitate the work of method engineers.

The objective of this study is to implement some of the Kaizen and 5S principles borrowed from Toyota's operation management systems and process improvements to help smallholder farmers become more productive and efficient. The paper systematically analyses, categorises, and reviews methodically the published literature. A series of case studies were conducted in an indoor hydroponic farm located in an urban area. The Kaizen and 5S principles in the organization have been implemented and analysed. Based on the outcomes of the case studies, it can be stressed that by the introduction and implementation of the Kaizen and 5S principles brings significant changes and improvements in the organisation in terms of increasing in effectiveness and efficiency in the operational processes, improved visual management of the process, improved safety and morale of the workers, improved housekeeping, waste elimination and standardization. The outcomes of this study have demonstrated that the Kaizen and 5S principles and techniques are equally applicable for agricultural organisations rather than manufacturing sectors.

Little specific research has been conducted to date on the adaptation of agile information systems development (ISD) methods. This chapter presents the work practice in dealing with the adaptation of such a method in the ISD department of one of the leading financial institutes in Europe. The chapter introduces the idea of method adaptation as an underlying phenomenon concerning how an agile method has been adapted to a project situation or vice versa in the case organization. In this respect, method adaptation is conceptualized as a process or capability in which agents holding intentions through responsive changes in, and dynamic interplays between, contexts and method fragments determine an appropriate method for a specific project situation. Two forms of method adaptation, static adaptation and dynamic adaptation, are introduced and discussed in detail. We provide some insights plus an instrument that the ISD department studied uses to deal with the dynamic method adaptation. To enhance our understanding of the observed practice, we take into account two complementary perspectives: the engineering perspective and the socio-organizational perspective. Practical and theoretical implications of this study are discussed.

Valuable Role

This paper explores the application of personal construct elicitation techniques to the identification of the situational factors that managers of bespoke information system development projects take into account when planning new projects for new customers. It is shown that the personal constructs elicited reflect most of the contingency variables and risk-drivers mentioned in the information systems development literature, but also include some situational characteristics not addressed in this literature. It is concluded that personal construct elicitation techniques have a valuable role to play in information systems development research.
