Movement analysis

 

The study of schedule of a technological operation reveals the schedule that allows a shorter path of movement and optimal sequence of grips and movements in the operation. Better schedule and sequence lead to the increasing of labour productivity and better humanization in work, as well as better utilization of existing resources, shortening the total length of moving the objects of work, reducing the number of grips, shortening the duration of the operation.

Organizational model is different from the production technology and it can be made in a written form or acquired during a long series of repetitions, and it is caused by:

• schedule in the workplace,
• sequence of performing the task and
• interdependence of performing the grips.

 The following rules are particularly important:

• workplace must have the optimal size,

• working conditions should correspond to standards,

• equipment should enable work in a standing or sitting position (employee elects)

• equipment should be located in the optimal zone is selected according to the frequency of handling,

• arrange the equipment to provide the optimal sequence of movements in the operation and

• arrange the equipment for supplying the workplace so that it should be optimal in relation to employees and inter phase transport.

Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management has a role to ensure that people have the knowledge they need where they need and when they need, i.e. the real knowledge in the right place and at the right time. There are many definitions of knowledge management, such as:

• Knowledge management is to discover, develop, utilize, deliver, and absorb knowledge inside and outside the organization through an appropriate management process to meet current and future needs. (Ouintas, Lefrere and Jones, 1997).

• Knowledge management is a process that helps organizations find, select, organize, disseminate, and transfer important information and expertise necessary for activities. (Gupta, Iyer and Aronson, 2000).

• Knowledge management is getting the right information to the right people at the right time, helping people create knowledge and sharing and acting on information. (Holm, 2001).

Strategic view on knowledge management considers the union between technology and human factors as a basis for market survival. Some authors even differ the very nature of the concept of knowledge management from other strategic concepts just according to passion, courage and confidence of a knowledge leader.

Knowledge management requires turning personal knowledge into corporate knowledge which can be shared and appropriately applied in the organization. It is most commonly defined as the collective knowledge, including experience, skills, information and data of an organization. Three key factors of knowledge management are people, technology and organizational processes. This concept of management is a key activity in organizations because knowledge is considered to be the most important resource that provides competitive advantages and competitive markets.

Knowledge management aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization, allowing employees at all levels to use their knowledge, experience and skills in order to get the right information that will enable the achievement of an organization's goals. That is, actually, the most effective usage of intellectual capital of a business

Organization analysis

The starting point for an organization review is an analysis of the existing circumstances, structure and processes of the organization and an assessment of the strategic issues that might affect it in the future.  

The external environment

The economic, market, competitive, social and legal matters that may affect the organization. Plans for product-market development will be significant.

The internal environment

The mission, values, organization climate, management style, technology and processes of the organization as they affect the way it functions and should be structured to carry out its function. Technological developments may be particularly important, as well as the introduction of new processes such as just-in-time or the development of an entirely new computer system.

Strategic issues and objectives

As a background to the study it is necessary to identify the strategic issues facing the organization and its objectives. These may be considered under such headings as growth, competition and market position and standing. Issues concerning the availability of the required human, financial and physical resources would also have to be considered.

Activities

Activity analysis establishes what work is done and what needs to be done in the organization to achieve its objectives within its environment. The analysis should cover what is and is not being done, who is doing it and where, and how much is being done. An answer is necessary to the key questions: are all the activities required properly catered for? Are there any unnecessary activities being carried out, i.e. those that do not need to be done at all or those that could be conducted more economically and efficiently  by external contractors or providers?

Structure

The analysis of structure covers how activities are grouped together, the number of levels in the hierarchy, the extent to which authority is decentralized to divisions and strategic business units, where functions such as finance, HR and research and development are placed in the structure and the relationships that exist between different units and functions (with particular attention being given to the way in which they communicate and cooperate with one another). Attention would be paid to such issues as the logic of the way in which activities are grouped and decentralized, the span of control of managers, any overlap between functions or gaps leading to the neglect of certain activities, and the existence of unnecessary departments, units, functions or layers of management.

We need to stand more often

Because:

1. Standing reduces risk of weight gain and obesity.
2. Standing vs sitting lowers risk of heart disease.
3. Standing helps lower risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
4. Standing lowers long-term mortality risk.
5. Standing helps reduce the risk of cancer.
6. Standing can help ease or reduce chronic back pain.
7. Standing helps increase energy levels and improve mood.
8. Standing while working boosts productivity.
9. Standing while working helps tone muscles.

Customer Relationship Management

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a concept that refers to the strategies used by an organization to improve business relationships with customers.

CRM software dates back to the 1980s — these systems gathered and analyzed customer information, just like they do today — and has become a valuable tool for businesses that want to engage with customers, drive sales and improve their marketing efforts. Think of CRM like a digital Rolodex. It keeps peoples’ contact details — names, phone numbers, addresses, etc. — in one place, making it a powerful resource for marketers. But it also streamlines sales activities and optimizes business processes.

Cognitive ergonomics

Cognitive ergonomics deals with mental processes such as perception, memory, thinking and mobility and the way they are affected by the interaction with the remains of the observed system. The most important aspects include mental effort, decision making, interaction with computers, human reliability and work stress.

Cognitive ergonomics concentrates on the analysis of thought processes: mental work load, decision making and planning that are required from knowledge workers (Marmaras and Kontogiannis, 2001).

The process by which a human is orientated among phenomena and things of the outside world is called the cognitive process consisting of: feeling, perception, learning, thinking and memory.

Senses are reflections of certain features of objects and phenomena of the outside world in our minds.

Perception is a process that gives meaning to sensory information, connects previous experience and current experience, establishes and maintains internal cohesion and unity of knowledge about the relevant parts of the outside world, or reality in general. Important objects of perception in organizations are:

o   The perception of work performance.

o   The perception of organizational roles.

o   The perception of personality.

o   The perception of certain groups or categories of members of the organization.

Cross Cultural Management

Business on a global level leads to connecting and communicating between people of different cultures and customs. It is therefore essential that managers and employees recognize and respect the culture and traditions of other nations they do business with, because it is a basic requirement for effective communication and business success. It is especially important to adjust approaches, methods and techniques of managing business processes and actions in conditions of significant cultural differences, which is the main task of Cross Cultural Management.

Cross Cultural Management is a new management approach or a new specialized discipline of management, which was created under the influence of the globalization process and deals with managing various business processes and actions in terms of large cultural differences, aiming to spread new knowledge, experience and values in different surroundings and enable more efficient operations.

IMPORTANCE KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATIONS FOR THE FASHION INDUSTRY

Creating a brand and success comes largely as a result of innovation. While competitive advantage can arise as a consequence of the size of the company or disposition of resources, more and more dominant position in the market occupied by companies that are able to mobilize knowledge, technology skills and experience to constantly create new products, and processes and services. The presented conceptualization of knowledge management is based on the need for synergy between the capabilities of advanced information technologies and human creativity and innovation to realize goals in turbulent business environment. We can say that the knowledge management is the mental, behavioural and cultural shift from the old adage ‘knowledge is power’ to the new mindset ‘sharing knowledge is power’.
