TBL elements' prosperity means saving and growth of the Triple bottom line, which are People, Profit, and Planet. Therefore, this work focuses on analyzing the effect of Corruption over prosperity via citizen satisfaction level (CSL) and prosperity growth indicator (PGI) through spreading questionnaires addressing the productive and service companies in Egypt. The authors link CSL and PGI with minimizing service time and maximizing income parameters respectively and tracking prosperity via non-collinear productivity growth model with threshold effects. Therefore, argue that Corruption resulting administrative, technician, and financial failure, which can be controlled by empirical proposed Automated Governance Self-Management (AGSM). The organizations' productivity has been tracked by the development efficiency index (DEI), which reflects Corruption resistance level using smart poka-yoke (SPyit). The responses to the questionnaires discover that administrative Corruption has two faces, one emphasizes its benefit on facilitating and speeding up the procedures, while the other is adverse and reduces the economic growth rate. The authors advocate changing administrative policies from centralization to traceable decentralization backed by delegation and economic liberty via controlling all activities according to time.

INTENSIVE care units ,RECOMMENDER systems ,QUESTIONNAIRES - Abstract
Visual systems are composed of several visual devices whose interactions are not always deliberately designed but rather emerge from the self-organization of employees. Thus, these emergent interactions can be glossed over and the effectiveness of improving individual visual devices might be low. This paper addresses this gap by introducing a four-step framework for the analysis of visual systems, involving: the functional modelling of the target social-technical system; assessment of the existing visual devices; identification of emergent visual systems; and practical recommendations. The interactions between the visual devices are assumed to be mediated by the functions that use them. The framework was applied in an intensive care unit, based on interviews, questionnaires, document analysis, and observations. Twenty groups of visual devices and six visual systems were identified. Three propositions offer additional guidance for the framework application and for understanding the nature of visual systems, allowing for the analysis of emergent visual systems that otherwise can remain hidden in plain sight.

In recent decades, uncertainty management has increasingly elicited attention in construction management research due to increasing project complexity. However, existing management methods have not been able to solve the issues around risk and uncertainty, and regardless of the proposed network-based risk modeling approaches, there are insufficiencies in contemporary methods, such as their practical applicability. This study examined the current state and issues of uncertainty and risk management and proposed a novel uncertainty network model (UNM) as a solution. The uncertainty network model was designed and validated using design science methodology (DSM), drawing on literature and empirical data from interviews, questionnaires, case observations, and case testing. The UNM visually presents project risks, uncertainties, and their interconnections and criticality transforming project stakeholders' tacit knowledge into an explicit, systematic representation of a project's uncertainty and risk architecture. Applied to a real-world construction project, the model received positive feedback, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing practitioners' understanding of networked risks and the potential to guide cost-effective risk-control activities by applying a systemic lens to project management. This practical validation showcases the model's potential in addressing the shortcomings of existing methods and improving construction project risk management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Xia Wang, Yanhua Liu Department of Nursing, Tianjin Beichen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Tianjin, 300400, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Yanhua Liu, Email Liuyh1017@126.comBackground: Although the “ 6S” management was shown to improve the work efficiency and quality of enterprises, the significance of lean “ 6S” combined with visual management in clinical nursing settings has not yet been reported.Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of lean “ 6S” combined with visual management mode on clinical nursing quality.Methods: From June 2019, the “ 6S” combined with visual management mode was implemented in Tianjin Beichen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The satisfaction of nurses in the ward, hand-over items and warehouse inventory time, ICU rescue efficiency, and the incidence of nursing adverse events before and after the implementation of the mode were compared.Results: Implementation of the visual and “ 6S” management mode led to significantly higher satisfaction of nurses in the ward compared to pre-implementation. Further, a significant decrease was observed in hand-over items and warehouse inventory time, ICU rescue efficiency, and the incidence of adverse nursing events (P< 0.05).Conclusion: The visual and “ 6S” management mode in the ward could significantly improve the quality of clinical nursing management and the satisfaction of medical staffs. This study is a single-centre prospective study, so some selection bias is inevitable. Future multicentre, long-term randomized clinical trials are needed to provide more evidence that this method can benefit nursing practice.Keywords: “ 6S” management, visual management, nursing, intensive care unit, rescue, safety, inventory time, satisfaction

Visual management ,Visual Flow ,Communication Boards ,Group Decision Making - Abstract
Visual management plays an important role in everyday life and everyday business, whether this is for sharing information or as a control mechanism, structuring behaviour. Visual management is evident in many organisations and is fundamental to lean with analogue communication boards used by many organisations to meet their visual management needs. Organisations employ analogue communication boards as a visual communication tool to aid continuous improvement, facilitate team meetings, convey information, and improve employee engagement. The overall purpose of this research was to investigate the design of analogue communication boards for group decision-making in a service sector environment, contributing to the theory and knowledge of visual management. This research stemmed from a long-standing interest in visual management initially seeking to discover what research and empirical investigation existed for visual management and visual representations. There is a large amount of literature available for visual management but the existing literature on the design of analogue communication boards is limited and lacking in experimental evidence. The literature also confirmed that most design principles for analogue communication boards are practitioner based. Critical realism has a combination of views that contrast with the positivist and interpretive views. This critical realist standpoint required the researcher to search for the generative mechanisms that will end with an observable event. This research also takes an ontological stance of the existence of an independent reality. Primary research data was collected by the use of laboratory experiments. The laboratory experiments consisted of a business game, set in a real world environment, and semi structured interviews. In total, fifteen laboratory experiments were conducted in an international service sector organisation. The research analysis required the creation of novel visual tools, gesture diagrams and decision timeline, to visualise and give greater insight into the primary research data. Using triangulation enhanced both the richness and validity of the research and supported a generative model of causality. The main findings of the research showed that if consideration is not given to the flow of the visual elements in the design of an analogue communications board the affordance of the board is affected. The actors may become less engaged by trying navigate the visualisation to source information or data to make a decision. Therefore, the visual flow is important to the design of an analogue communication board. Secondly, there was no strong evidence found in the research to suggest that that any one visual format used in the business game prevails over another. Any preference for a particular visual format used in the business game was based upon the participants own situational environment or personal preference. The use of red, amber, and green, status indicators is widespread within the UK service sector but the results from the primary research data here were inconclusive with respect to their use. The participants in the laboratory experiments were divided on their application. It was also shown that the status indicators may obfuscate. This research can act as a starting point for further research and further empirical testing. The advances in technology offer different digital ways of working and this is likely to grow, as digital displays are able to mimic analogue communication boards. There is an opportunity to conduct further research using the laboratory experiments from this research to compare digital and analogue working. To this end pilot trials already taken place using a digital format of the business game by Dr Nicola Bateman, Associate Professor Operations Management at Leicester University (Bateman, 2020).

Workers play a superior role in the production process because they are responsible for its proper functioning (e.g. process efficiency, quality, technical condition of usage machines), and are also responsible for safety at work. The issue of work safety should be a crucial factor in the process of introducing changes in the company. The introduced changes should take into account safe working conditions and reduce the number of potential accidents, therefore employers should implement solutions aimed at improving work safety. One of the tools that can affect work safety is visual management (VM). The use of various forms of VM enables immediate response to emerging problems, which may translate into an increase in employees' awareness of health and safety issues. The article presents the possibilities of using of visual management tools in manufacturing companies in terms of improving work safety. The proposed solutions can be used by enterprises that register accidents at work and take actions to increase employees' awareness of occupational safety and health (OSH).

The issue of ensuring work safety during the use of machines plays a key role due to the recorded accident events, the source of which are the machines in use. In the scope of reducing the risk associated with machines, particular attention should be paid to the threats, as well as solutions allowing to limit their negative impact on the operator. The study presents the possibility of using visual management (VM) as a form of information transfer that allows to meet the requirements set out in legal regulations, as well as reduce the risk of accidents. The machines in question were assessed for the possibility of using various forms of visual management to reduce the risk of accidents. The investigations were also supplemented with an analysis of accident statistics to present the importance of using visual management in improving the safety of machine operators' work. The conducted analyzes allowed to determine the direction of activities in the use of various forms of visual management aimed at improving the safety of machine operators.

- Abstract
Visual management (VM) has become an important lean management practice for continuous improvement and has gained increasing attention from academics and practitioners. While operations management scholars have studied its benefits and functions, the factors that enable or hinder VM implementation have not been systematically investigated. Against this background, our study analyses qualitative case study data from Swiss manufacturing firms to reveal important barriers and success factors that are relevant for the implementation of VM. Moreover, for each success factor, we present several best practices observed in the case companies to overcome the associated barriers. The results contribute to the emerging field of VM within the lean management literature and provide insights for practitioners how to implement VM more effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Lean thinking, tools and methods can improve and change companies' internal processes, cultural norms, and shared values to achieve a stronger state of operational excellence and bring companies greater competitive advantage. 5S is a Lean tool that aims for a well-organized and safe working environment, increased quality, and productivity optimization by organizing the manufacturing processes to be waste-free by maintaining and organizing the workplace using the 5S concept. Even tough 5S concept and its implementation processes are often well documented, the actual translation work of the 5S concept into functional and successful solutions in a production environment that has pre-existing value systems and processes is still lacking more profound and nuanced investigation. Additionally, engineers responsible for the 5S implementation process have a need for precise tools and methods to understand the user experience and ensure customer-centricity in their decision-making. To understand more profoundly the connection between the 5S concept and user centricity, this article applies Design Thinking method and tools to a 5S implementation process. The goal of combining these two methods is to investigate what is a functional and user-friendly way to eliminate non-value adding activities and improve safety, functionality, and productivity in a production cell using 5S methodology. The results of this research show that the floor surface area that is required to store hoisting motor buffer has decreased by 80%. Also, the waste in form of unnecessary transport in that buffer area has decreased to a fifth when compared to the original situation. The results of this research show that the Design Thinking method and its tools not only fit, but also foster 5S implementation processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Visual Management (VM) is an important Lean method to enhance information flow and reduce waste in construction. However, its adoption is hindered by several barriers. Scientific works mention that emerging technologies can support or replace conventional VM practices, but empirical evidence is missing. Based on an in-depth literature review, we derived the research questions (RQs), arguing if Augmented Reality (AR) could mitigate VM implementation barriers. Thus, a corresponding AR measurement model was developed. Through a case study of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installations in a multi-story apartment building, the RQs were answered using an AR head-mounted display (HMD). To gather the necessary empirical evidence, the data was collected through direct observations on-site and through semi-structured interviews. The study findings show that (1) AR provided time savings and generally satisfactory accuracy levels. (2) AR demonstrably reduced the training effort to better support MEP marking work. (3) The use of AR reduced the resistance to change to adopt VM practices, although concerns were raised about poor ergonomics and work safety risks. Future research activities should consist of investigating the potential of other emerging technologies to overcome the common Lean implementation barriers in construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a sub-study on participatory design in visual management (VM), bracketed from a larger case study. In this case, VM refers to the recurrent meetings when managers and co-workers use dashboards (VM boards) to continuously organize work activities and performances and contribute to the ongoing development and improvements within the organization. The study focuses on when the managers and co-workers are participating in the process of designing and visualizing work-related information regarding workload for future VM boards. This paper emphasizes collaborative workshops and the creation of moodboards as participatory methods, and the application of theories of metaphorical thinking and conceptual and visual metaphors. The findings show that participants perceive the visual output they create metaphorically, in this case, the moodboards. Such visual outputs represent conceptual and visual metaphors that evoke the participants' sharing of core concepts and an establishment of stories related to the information to be designed. In turn, the metaphors and the storytelling stress desires, visions, objectives, and themes, besides workplace atmospheres, norms, and values governing the workplace. This understanding translates to shared work experiences where conceptual and visual thinking impact how work teams develop work-related information on VM boards together. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In the construction industry, digitalisation has led to increasing efforts to improve construction management using digital visual management (VM) devices. Although the amount of research on digital VM (DVM) in the design phase and in the management of construction sites has also increased, its implementation during the production phase and by construction crews remains limited. The objective of this study is to explore the adoption of DVM in construction sites, assess construction workers' experiences regarding digital and analogue VM devices, and understand the challenges that hinder the adoption of such devices. This study used a mixed method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research. Data included visual site explorations, surveys of construction workers and crew managers, and unstructured interviews with site managers and development directors to assess the use of DVM devices in construction sites, the need for them and their current implementation. The findings showed that VM should be conveniently located near the job site instead of the office site, which is the current situation. Construction crews who experienced more production and schedule disruptions reported that VM supported their work, compared with crews that had fewer disruptions. VM devices on construction sites are analogue, and their usage continues to be in construction site management, which perpetuates information silos during construction projects. The findings of this study provide insights into the development and deployment of DVM devices on construction sites. Construction workers' need for visual information close at hand is of interest to both scholars and practitioners in future research and development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Difficulties in managing the construction design process are strongly related to its nature, as a large number of interdependent decisions are involved, which need to be made by many different stakeholders, in an environment that has a high degree of uncertainty. Moreover, there is a growing use of digital tools to support design. Traditional communication approaches used in design management only partially comply with the requirements of digital contexts, and new methods and tools are necessary to address these challenges. Visual Management (VM) has the potential to increase process transparency in the design stage, in order to support collaboration and communication and facilitate the transfer of information. However, the literature on the implementation of VM to support design management is still scarce. Moreover, there is limited understanding of the connection between VM and information and communication technologies (ICT). This investigation aims to propose a set of requirements to support VM applications for design planning and control within digital contexts, which can potentially contribute to improving the effectiveness of VM. This set of requirements were initially identified within the literature, considering different fields of knowledge, and then refined in an empirical study that was developed in collaboration with an infrastructure design and consultancy company in the UK. The Design Science Research approach was the methodological approach adopted in this investigation, which involved incremental learning cycles for devising the artefact, carried out in three different projects. The main findings include (i) the definition of a set of VM requirements that are applicable to the context investigated in this research study; (ii) an assessment of the relevance of the requirements for different types of visual practices, hierarchical planning levels, and stakeholders that are involved; (iii) the identification of some current limitations and challenges of implementing digital VM in construction design. From a practical perspective, this set of requirements may guide practitioners and academics in devising and assessing digital VM practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

COntrol of BAlance by CArd-BAsed NAvigation (COBACABANA) is a card-based system for job shop control. This paper presents a real industrial application of COBACABANA aimed at solving production control problems in an Italian manufacturer of valves and flanges, configured as a job shop system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first industrial implementation of COBACABANA. Although COBACABANA can be extended to estimating delivery time allowances, this research focuses only on its shop floor control mechanism. In the case study, the COBACABANA boards and cards are carefully reviewed. The criticalities and limitations of traditional COBACABANA are fully explored and, subsequently, two new boards and a new form are introduced to facilitate its practicality and ease of implementation. The new tools enable planners to better monitor the pre-shop pool status and the progress of orders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The management of health care associated infections (HAIs) challenges acute care facilities due to variability in practices. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to decrease central line–associated bloodstream infection, catheter-associated urinary tract infection, and Clostridioides difficile infection in a high acuity care environment using a visual management (VM) tool to address practice variations. Local Problem: An acute care unit experienced increasing HAIs. Methods: An interprofessional team used Lean methodology to implement a VM tool reflective of evidence-based HAI prevention practices that staff had frequently omitted. Interventions: A VM tool called the Safety Tracker was created. Results: In 12 months, HAIs decreased from 9 events to 1, with a corresponding reduction in indwelling urinary catheter utilization and central line utilization. More than $160 000 were avoided in health care costs. Conclusions: Creating an interprofessional VM Safety Tracker could significantly reduce HAIs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The construction industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with the goal of developing long-term solutions that promote construction companies' alignment with market demands and that empower them to reduce production losses as much as possible. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate a gamified model for disseminating production information in the construction industry using visual management. This was a qualitative exploratory study that employed the Design Science methodology and the Design Science Research method. The model was designed, developed, and evaluated by 35 people, including 10 off-site users who focused on usability, user experience, and model promotability, 15 engineers, and 10 workers who considered user experience and promotability. Employees and managers thought the model was excellent, while outside users thought it was good. Furthermore, the evaluators made suggestions for improvements aimed at achieving excellence. We conclude that the proposed model improves production information dissemination in construction by considering the target audience's digital inclusion and knowledge diffusion within work teams.

The multitude of concepts and methods of management and control related to the word “visual” in the area of production and quality management may cause difficulties with their perception, proper understanding and use of these terms by researchers from various backgrounds (not necessarily related to production) and countries, including Poland. In particular, the noticed inaccuracies in the use of terms with the word “visual” concern such terms as visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, where, for example, in the Polish language the first three different terms in English are named with the same phrase, which sometimes causes some confusion. The aim of the article was an attempt to distinguish, sometimes “troublesome” definitions, to indicate the area of their application, to define possible relations between them, which is a peculiar novelty. The article is an analysis of the literature related to these concepts, systematizes the types of visual concepts and methods in the area of production and quality. It defines in what context the indicated terms should be used by researchers and what is the relationship between them, and under what conditions they can be used separately or jointly. The article is an attempt to indicating and analysis of the interrelation between concepts in which the word “visual” appears concerning production practice. Concepts visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, as the author proves in the article, they should be translated into English with due diligence, due to the differences between them. It has been shown that there is a strong relationship between type definition pairs as visual management & visual control and visual inspection & visual testing, where it is not a mistake to use them interchangeably, and cases, where all these concepts can intertwine, are also given.
