Critical Success

Critical success factors and performance indicators provide the biotechnology industry with a foundation on which to grow and manage risks. In a recent survey of 247 biotechnology companies across Canada, elements critical for sustainability in the industry were investigated. The industry's dependence on intellectual property (IP) protection and strategic product development were significant findings with the top five critical factors being entrepreneurial environment, product distribution to target market, product focus, policies to protect IP and value of the firm's knowledge assets. When the data set was segregated based on stage of company development, there was a shift in what was considered a priority. Earlier stage companies, not yet self-sustaining, are more focused on funding with a dependence on external factors such as government support. The later stage companies, having access to product-derived funds, are more able to build internal resources with programmes directed at retaining and educating employees. Even with divergent interests, regardless of stage of company, IP and knowledge assets are key elements for success in this research and development rich industry. By understanding critical factors and changing priorities during business development, the industry will service an unmet need, facilitating modification of current marketing and business structure models. The results will promote sustainability in the industry as a whole.

Purpose As opposed to general literature reviews, by narrowing down the context only around the resources related to Six Sigma tools, this study aims to offer a strong discussion about Six Sigma toolbox which has a vital role in the success of Six Sigma. Design/methodology/approach Based on a comprehensive literature research, the most used tools; classification of tools; flow of tools with respect to define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) steps; tools as critical success factors and reasons of ineffective use of tools are reviewed. To stay focused and not to diverge from the research aim, 60 articles which are suitable to the context and flow of the discussion are selected during the construction of the study. Findings The study provides a detailed and integrated review of Six Sigma articles about tools. The most used tools are listed from different perspectives and resources, and the role of these tools has been discussed. After a broad review, a more practical and combined classification of Six Sigma tools is proposed. Next, the issue of using which tools during which steps of DMAIC is systematically addressed. Finally, emergence of tools as a critical success factor and the gaps in the literature related to tools of Six Sigma are pointed out. Practical implications Addressing important statistics and the facts related to the tools of Six Sigma helps new practitioners in particular to build a strategic filter to select the most proper tools throughout their projects. Originality/value This study is unique in investigating only Six Sigma toolbox and providing a literature review on this subject.

This paper addresses critical success factors for the delivery of BIM projects. The lack of experience with BIM projects on both the demand and supply side often leads to insufficient project teams, unsatisfied clients, schedule, and cost overruns. In order to better structure and control the information delivery in BIM projects requirements, planning and delivery must be standardized. The latter was achieved by EIR (Exchange Information Requirements), new BIM roles, BEP (BIM Execution Plan), and specified digital handover, which must be supported by a common data environment (CDE). This paper provides an analysis of the characteristics of BIM project delivery and duration in Architectural and Engineering companies in Slovakia. The analysis is based on the web survey of BIM managers and coordinators, which reveals that a significant amount of BIM project efforts must be executed by BIM specialists. The results also graphically depict the scope of critical BIM activities across project phases. The presented study is relevant for various project stakeholders and allows for a deeper understanding of the resources needed for the successful delivery of BIM projects in terms of adequate project team capacity, capability, organization, and planning.

Der Bau von Gebäuden setzt permanente Wechselwirkungen zwischen den initialen Planungsaktivitäten und den späteren Steuerungsmaßnahmen voraus. Diese Rückkopplung wird oftmals unterschätzt. Zur Steigerung der Transparenz von Informationen und aktuellen Entwicklungen auf der Baustelle wird ein mobiles, softwaregestütztes Funktionsmuster entwickelt. Dieses orientiert sich an Erfolgsfaktoren von Bauprojekten und unterstützt die Projektstakeholder orts- sowie zeitunabhängig.   The construction of buildings involves permanent interdependencies between initial planning processes and subsequent control activities. These circumstances are often underestimated. To make information and current developments on construction sites more transparent, a mobile functional model has been developed, based on critical success factors of factory construction projects. Moreover, it supports project stakeholders regardless of time and place.

The Uk

Since the beginning of 1990s, there has been an increasing emphasis on supply chain collaboration in the UK construction industry through learning from manufacturing. The adoption of supply chain collaboration is now widely recognised as an effective way of addressing various traditional construction problems. This paper presents the findings of a research project that examines the practitioners’ perspectives on supply chain collaboration in construction projects. The critical success factors (CSFs) of supply chain collaboration are identified from an online focus group discussion and ten expert interviews, whose results are analysed by using the NVivo software package. Unlike existing studies, this study develops an input-process-output model based on the categorisation of the identified CSFs. In addition, supply chain collaboration is compared between public and private sectors, between short-term and long-term programmes, between upstream and downstream supply chains, and between different areas of relationships. The comparative analysis describes the balanced and the unbalanced natures of supply chain collaboration. The findings in this study provide a better understanding of supply chain collaboration in today’s construction practice. Although this study is based on the UK construction industry, its findings may also be useful for construction organisations in other countries to pursue supply chain collaboration.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide a framework of managerial responses to the Industry 4.0 phenomenon, which has impacted the productivity of Indonesian manufacturing companies while revolutionizing global industries.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs qualitative research using the Grounded Theory Method since research in this area is still in its preliminary stages. The study elicits insights from 12 operation managers through a semi-structured interview and a focus group discussion. Using content analysis, the study formulates relationships among Industry 4.0 initiatives, its driving factors and challenges as well as critical success factors and the expected benefits.FindingsThe findings reveal that Indonesian manufacturers have engaged in Industry 4.0 initiatives: cyber-physical systems, the internet of things, Big Data and cloud computing. These initiatives require managers to adopt best practices, appoint champions as change agents, conduct training and even tailor the job qualifications of their subordinates to suit the current technology.Research limitations/implicationsThe qualitative method allows an in-depth investigation that is synthesized into a conceptual framework, but this framework still needs to be empirically tested. The study is currently based on informants from large manufacturing companies. Future studies could scale up the research and validate the findings.Practical implicationsThis exploratory framework could guide managers in their strategic and operational decisions while embracing the Industry 4.0 transformation inside the organization.Originality/valuePrior studies examining the adoption of Industry 4.0 principles by Indonesian manufacturing companies are rare. Furthermore, conceptual studies dominate the existing literature related to the Industry 4.0 concept. This study attempts to fill the gap and provides a framework that is based on grounded empirical data of manufacturing companies in Indonesia, a newly industrialized economy.
