“…The operator were able to have the real-time information of their health parameters, as shown in Figure 8. When lean management techniques are being used at the organization level, it can also help with the management of processes to communicate to the operators their figures on a daily basis, as described above for the (CPD) n A method [17]. Therefore, an application for the trello™system was created at the Cognition layer, where the detailed messages can be seen, as in Figure 9, bringing a way to deeply dig into the specific graphics Figure 10, making it possible to promote the operator self-learning process.…”

“…It allows for a paradigm shift from independent, automated, and human activities to human-cyber-physical systems (HCPSs) where machines are not designed to replace the skills and talents of humans, but rather to co-exist with, and to assist humans in being more efficient and effective [15,16]. A clear opportunity in such a path is to align the human central view in the decisions for process improvement, where improvement in the classical lean management, e.g., (CPD) n A [17], was performed through a strategy enabling taking advantage of the IoT devices, and looking to increase the knowledge analysis capabilities of the responsible worker. Therefore, the aims of HCPSs can be described [12,15] as:…”

Recent advances in technology have empowered the widespread application of cyber–physical systems in manufacturing and fostered the Industry 4.0 paradigm. In the factories of the future, it is possible that all items, including operators, will be equipped with integrated communication and data processing capabilities. Operators can become part of the smart manufacturing systems, and this fosters a paradigm shift from independent automated and human activities to human–cyber–physical systems (HCPSs). In this context, a Healthy Operator 4.0 (HO4.0) concept was proposed, based on a systemic view of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and wearable technology. For the implementation of this relatively new concept, we constructed a unified architecture to support the integration of different enabling technologies. We designed an implementation model to facilitate the practical application of this concept in industry. The main enabling technologies of the model are introduced afterward. In addition, a prototype system was developed, and relevant experiments were conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system architecture and the implementation framework, as well as some of the derived benefits.

“…Screening left out irrelevant articles, like the ones discussing processing in general (i.e., textile processing). Process standardization is defined in alternative ways [20], all of which agree to the identification and unification of variants and the establishment of information interchange between different systems or components. Moreover, process standardization describes the extent to which the organization follows recurrent processes and adheres to established standards [5].…”

“…Process standardization enables performance measurement and sets the basis for continuous improvement. Different process modelling approaches are located in literature, which have been applied on different sectors (i.e., construction [20,21]; car industry [22], business and management [23,24], Information Technology (IT) [25][26][27] and Health [28] etc.). In fact, software process standardization appears to have positive impact on software flexibility and project performance [5].…”

Several competitive standards have been introduced, which define smart city's development framework, architecture and components or city's key performance indicators. However, these standards have not introduced specifications for smart services, nor for policy making process modelling, although standardization assists in achieving process automation by introducing "best practices" as standard process models. Policy making mainly follow non-standardized procedures, even if it is supported by various typical methodologies (i.e., Multi-Criteria Decision Methods (MCDM)). This paper is inspired by the Task-Based Modelling method (TBM) and focuses on policy making process standardization for smart cities. More specifically, in introduces a TBM schema for policy making regarding city's energy efficiency, which an important smart city aspect. This TBM is based on the outcomes of the case-study of the Integrative Smart City Planning (InSmart) coordination action in the smart city of Trikala, Greece.

“…(i) We define Lean Structural Networks (LSN) as a set of nodes formed by process owners (POs) and edges formed by the KPI in the check phase of an interprocess communication standard (CPD)nA as described in [31] connecting the PO (CPD)nA Sender (Source) and the PO (CPD)nA Receiver (Sink). LSN are hence per definition directed networks.…”

Organizations face strong international competition in the global market arena in achieving strategic goals such as high quality of product or service at lower cost while increasing their ability to respond quickly to requirements of the market. These challenges concern strategically designing organizations that can meet global challenges and specialize locally to meet performance constraints. After introducing the concept of organizational functional and structural motifs as small organizational building block, our findings suggest the hypothesis that a strategic organizational design (SOD) approach to meet these challenges involves maximizing the number and diversity of functional motifs, while minimizing the repertoire of structural motifs. By detecting characteristic structural motifs, we provide organizational leaders with specific Lean SOD solutions with which to meet local and global challenges simultaneously. As a matter of application, we show the implementation of such an SOD approach in nine US hospitals that form one large health care holding.
