  15. Quantifying the effect of Business Process Redesign on ecological sustainability within ITIL V3 Student: Tim Slotboom Mentor: Dr Rik Eshuis Company: Accenture

  16. Research Questions • How can ITIL V3 processes become more ecologically sustainable using Business Process Redesign? • RQ 1: which subset of ITIL processes is relevant for ecologically sustainable business process redesign? • RQ 2: what role does business process redesign play in ecological sustainability within ITIL V3? • RQ 3: what is the quantitative impact of business process redesign on the carbon footprint reduction for an ITIL V3 case study? / Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences

  17. RQ1: part of a selected ITIL process / name of department

  18. RQ2: Green BPR Best Practices SelectionExtension of Devil’s Quadrangle • Method: • Online-surveys • Hypotheses: • H1: The subset of BPR best practices does have a significant impact on ecological sustainability and is therefore valid. • H2: The subset of BPR best practices improving ecological sustainability is complete. • Variables in CO2 • Travel • Electricity • Paper-use / Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences

  19. RQ3: Implementation at a Case Study Final Results / Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences • Improvements per year (Absolute / Relative) • Travel: 1455 kgCO2 / 18% • Electricity: 21 kgCO2 / 2% • Paper: 137 kgCO2 / 37% • Total: 1612 kgCO2 / 20% = Equal to electricity consumption of 1,10 households (CBS, 2012)

  20. How to increase the performance of project teams Student: Roland van de Kerkhof Mentor: Prof Eva Demerouti Company: Multiple

  21. How to increase performance of project teamsAuthor: Roland van de KerkhofSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Evangelia Demerouti What is the reasonforandobjective of the intervention? Teams are essentialfor the production of manyorganizations as they have toproduce/develop high qualityproductswithin short time frames. The goal of thisstudy is todevelopan /interventionthatcanenhance performance of teams. How can performance of teams be increased? By … 1. increasing individual and team work engagement 2. setting group-relevant and difficult goals (participatory)

  22. Model

  23. How to increase performance of teamsAuthor: Roland van de KerkhofSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Evangelia Demerouti Why are these factors important? Becausetheyincreasewillingnessandability of individualstoinvest effort in team relevant and high-achievement goals. How is the studydesigned? Experimentalgroup was instructedto set SMART*, group-relevant anddifficult goals; control groupwas instructedto set group-relevant goals *SMART= Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time bound

  24. How to increase performance of project teamsAuthor: Roland van de KerkhofSupervisor: Prof. Dr. Evangelia Demerouti On-line questionnaire & instructionsforinterventions Team performance ratedby the supervisor; allotherconstructsratedby the team members (including the setting of the goal) More than 50 teams andtheir supervisors are willingtoparticipate ( high relevance of the topic fororganizations)

  25. Redesign of the maintenance concept development framework for Heineken Student: Merel de Bruijn Mentor: Dr Simme Douwe Flapper Company: Heineken Zoeterwoude

  26. Problem introduction Heineken Zoeterwoude / Operations Management and Logistics

  27. Problem introduction OPI-Nona:Operational Performance Indicator – No order no activity. Produced output as percentage of the theoretical output in that time. Production line 7 / Operations Management and Logistics

  28. Problem introduction Minor stop: unplanned stop < 5 minutes Breakdown: unplanned stop > 5 minutes / Operations Management and Logistics

  29. Problem introduction / Operations Management and Logistics

  30. Research question Maintenance concept: Collection of rules that describe maintenance; when to do what for which component, how to do it and by whom. Can Heineken Zoeterwoude increase the OPI-Nona of production line 7, through reduction of the breakdown time of the packers, by improving the maintenance concept of that technical system, taking a budget restriction into account? / name of department

  31. Redesigned framework Maintenance policy: Basic rule prescribing when to execute maintenance at a component

  32. Redesigned framework

  33. Application on packer • 13.848 minutes unplanned downtime • Maintenenance budget €100.000 • Stopday every 2 weeks – 6 hours • Not much data registered • Unreliable data • Developed Bill of Materials

  34. Application on packer

  35. Application on packer • Unplanned downtime: 13k min • Budget: € 97k • Implemented!

  36. Conclusion • Maintenance concept for the packers • Fulfilling the maximal acceptable unplanned downtime • Within the maintenance budget • Redesigned framework for the review and development of a maintenance concept • Fulfilling specific objectives within cost restrictions • New maintenance policies • Different maintenance policy decision process / Operations Management and Logistics
