“…This definition supports the notion that various objects have been designed in agriculture to achieve specific objectives (plant varieties, animal breeds, cropping, farming systems, landscapes, decision support systems, agricultural implements, or inputs) (Prost et al 2017). Thus, for this study, design is understood as the structured multidisciplinary work process that aims to create products (Raudberget et al 2022;Roxas et al 2023), images, spaces (Trubetskaya et al 2023), services (Brinkman et al 2023) and digital/multimedia content (Liu et al 2019).…”

Companies must provide economic, environmental and social added value based on innovation strategies, design and creative thinking in a globalised and competitive world characterised by rapid change and constantly evolving technologies. In this context, this paper analyses the role of design practice in companies in the agri-food sector (i.e. what is the design component present like; what are its relevance and importance?) An exploratory, descriptive study was conducted with 30 companies in southeast (SE) Spain's fruit/vegetable sector. The findings reveal that all the surveyed companies make financial investments in design and positively value this (7.6 out of 10), which indicates they recognise its strategic and operative importance. However, integration, training and design promotion in the agri-food sector remains somewhat limited. Most companies lack an in-house design department or design professionals as staff members and perform mainly design activities limited to the visual and communication tasks related to marketing initiatives. These results unveil opportunities for enhancing design incorporation and appreciation in the agri-food sector, which could boost its competitiveness and differentiation in the market. Finally, this study can be considered a starting point for future development in line with the horticultural sector's theory, practice, and design management policies.

“…The lack of thorough planning is also an issue, marked by the failure to establish clear objectives, the inability to identify all stakeholders, and the absence of a realistic timeline and budget (Trubetskaya et al. , 2023a, b, c).…”

PurposeThis project aims to optimise a secondary agricultural company’s reporting and data lifecycle by providing self-help business intelligence at an optimal price point for all business users.Design/methodology/approachA design for Lean Six Sigma approach utilising the define, measure analyse, design and verify methodology was utilised to design a new reporting and data product lifecycle.FindingsThe study found that this approach allowed a very structured delivery of a complex program. The various tools used assisted greatly in delivering results while balancing the needs of the team.Practical implicationsThis study demonstrates how improving data analysis and enhanced intelligence reporting in agribusinesses enable better decision making and thus improves efficiencies so that the agribusiness can leverage the learnings.Social implicationsImproving data analysis increases efficiency and reduces agrifood food wastage thus improving sustainability and environmental impacts.Originality/valueThis paper proposes creating a standardised approach to deploying Six Sigma methodology to correct both the data provisioning lifecycle and the subsequent business intelligence reporting lifecycle. It is the first study to look at process optimisation across the agricultural industry’s entire data and business intelligence lifecycle.

“…While there are several approaches to DFSS, design/ redesign projects commonly follow a five-phase method: define, measure, analyze, design and verify (DMADV) (Yang, 2005). This method has been used successfully in a variety of domains, such as to design an online community for internal collaboration within the Bosch Car Multimedia division (Carvalho et al, 2016), to design an integrated registration system that centralized all patient information for a mobile hospital unit (Sunder et al, 2020) and to redesign space utilization for a medical device manufacturer (Trubetskaya et al, 2023).…”

Purpose This research proposes how Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) provides a complementary approach for business process management (BPM) lifecycle implementation in order to address gaps identified in the current literature.Design/methodology/approach The mandatory elements of a method (MEM) framework is used to illustrate DFSS's maturity as a process redesign method. The use of DFSS in a BPM context is described through several action research case examples.Findings This research specifies the procedure model (order of development activities), techniques, results, roles and information/meta model (conceptual data model of results) associated with using DFSS to address BPM-related challenges. The action research case examples provided discuss the details of implementing BPM using DFSS to design, implement and test redesigned processes to ensure they fulfill the needs of process participants.Research limitations/implications While the case examples discussed were performed in only a few settings, which limits the generalizability of their results, they provide evidence regarding the wide range of domains in which the proposed DFSS-BPM approach can be applied and how the tools are used in different contexts.Practical implications This research offers a road map for addressing the challenges practitioners often face with BPM lifecycle implementation.Originality/valueThis research provides the first attempt to integrate DFSS as a complementary method for BPM lifecycle implementation.
