RQT: Exploring relationship quality over time (HOPS)

Activity RQT: Exploring relationship quality over time.

Aim of this activity is to clarify the meaning of relationship quality, and to structure existing conceptual approaches and methods in a way that makes underlying theoretical and philosophical assumptions clear. A thorough understanding of relationships and relationship quality is needed to understand the importance and role of dynamics and the changing nature of relationships over time. The focus is on relationship quality (and dynamics in relationships) in the context of planning and scheduling, e.g. relationship between two planners from different organizations or departments. This also entails planning and scheduling processes between individuals who do not hold an official planner’s position but engage in planning activities.

CCE: Impact of IT-Implementation on the control capacity of working systems (HOPS)

Activity CCE: Impact of IT-Implementation on the control capacity of working systems.

Basic assumptions

The strategy mainly applied for improving planning and scheduling in working systems is to increase control capacity by integrated IT systems with a very detailed monitoring of data. This is expected to allow for a detailed and exact description and analysis of production and logistic processes and hence for improving anticipative and operational control (cf. von der Weth’s presentation at the Prague Workshop). However, we assume that in many cases this strategy increases the management’s perceived control only whereas its actual implication on an organisation control capacity remains unclear ...

because local control mechanisms are set out of function arbitrarily

because the flexibility of the working system decreases

because work design principles are violated

The main idea of our activity is that knowledge regarding the consequences the IT-design and the IT-implementation have on a work system’s actual control capacity can give hints regarding better solutions.
