Design Science Research in practice: review of applications in Industrial Engineering

Abstract

The present study analyzes aspects of the application of the Design Science Research (DSR), identifies the problem classes, as well as the contributions and limitations in the implementation of the method in the various areas and subareas of Industrial Engineering. The research uses the method of systematic literature review through a review of articles using the Atlas.ti 8 software, it performs network analysis for classification by area and grouping by similarities, analyzing the aspects proposed in the objective of the study. Through investigation, it offers theoretical and practical contributions. First, it provides a comprehensive view of how DSR has been applied in research, identifying problem classes, artifacts, and classification areas in Industrial Engineering. Similarly, it contributes to a research agenda to replicate the method in emerging areas.

A Production System for the auto parts industry with elements of Industry 4.0

“…Following the steps proposed by Manson (2006) and Goecks et al (2021), after the development stage, the evaluation of the artifact must be carried out. The points highlighted in the application of the method are presented below: • The conceptual model of the proposed production system contributed to the creation of a new production system called XPS.…”

“…DSR is a method that bases and operationalizes research that aims to propose artifacts or a prescription oriented to problemsolving. Once the problem is understood, the construction and evaluation of artifacts occur, causing them to change the observed reality, solve the practical problems, or improve the system's performance (Goecks et al, 2021). Furthermore, it allows evaluating what was projected with the result obtained (Kuechler & Vaishnavi, 2011).…”

“…The deliverables (results) are associated with the corresponding specific objectives that lead to the achievement of the study aim. The structure followed was suggested by the authors Manson (2006) and Goecks et al (2021).…”

Quantifying the Economic and Financial Viability of NB-IoT and LoRaWAN Technologies: A Comprehensive Life Cycle Cost Analysis Using Pragmatic Computational Tools

“…As a research method we employ design science research in developing the artifact "Life Cycle Cost Analysis Using Pragmatic Computational Tools." Design science research as depicted in Figure 1 is a research paradigm that aims to produce innovative solutions to practical problems through the creation of new artifacts, such as models, methods, and tools [11][12][13][14]. The relevance cycle in Design Science Research ensures that the designed artifacts address real-world problems, while the rigor cycle ensures the scientific validity and quality of the research process and outcomes.…”

Design Science Research als wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise für Abschlussarbeiten mit Gestaltungsauftrag in anwendungsorientierten Studiengängen

“…Damit eignet sich DSR als Forschungsdesign für Abschlussarbeiten mit Gestaltungsauftrag, um die Anforderungen der Praxis wie der Hochschule zu erfüllen. DSR ist in vielen Bereichen einsetzbar, so in Technik [HE96], Betriebsführung/Operations Management [ACH16, DLC19], Software Engineering [En20,Kn21],Wirtschaftsingenieurswesen/Industrial Engineering [Sc13,Go21], Interaktionsdesign [Mü21] und Erziehungswissenschaften, dort bezeichnet als Design-Based Research (DBR) [OSO22,Re17]. Auch in Wirtschaftsinformatik/Information Systems (IS) ist DSR etabliert [Wi08, S. 470] und es existieren Leitlinien für DSR in IS.…”
