- ItemBusiness models for sustained eHealth implementation : lessons from two continents(Computers & Industrial Engineering Conference Proceedings, 2012-07) Van Dyk, Liezl; Wentzel, M. Jobke; Van Limburg, A.H. Maarten; Van Gemert-Pijnen, Lisette; Schutte, Corne S. L.; CIE42 ProceedingsThere is general consensus that Computers and Information Technology have the potential to enhance health systems applications, and many good examples of such applications exist all over the world. Unfortunately, with respect to eHealth and telemedicine, there is much disillusionment and scepticism. This paper describes two models that were developed separately, but had the same purpose, namely to facilitate a holistic approach to the development and implementation of eHealth solutions. The roadmap of the Centre for eHealth Research (CeHRes roadmap) was developed in the Netherlands, and the Telemedicine Maturity Model (TMMM) was developed in South Africa. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the commonalities and differences of these approaches, and to explore how they can be used to complement each other. The first part of this paper comprises of a comparison of these models in terms of origin, research domain and design principles. Case comparisons are then presented to illustrate how these models complement one another.
- ItemDevelopment of a maturity model for telemedicine(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2012-07) Van Dyk, Liezl; Schutte, Corne S. L.For more than a decade, the South African National Department of Health (DoH) has recognised the potential benefit of information and communication technology (ICT) in the delivery of health care to rural areas. Despite generous funding and proven technology, not many telemedicine systems have proved sustainable after the pilot phase. The purpose of this paper is to develop a maturity model that can be implemented to measure and manage the capability of a health system, for use in the delivery of sustainable health care after the pilot phase of a telemedicine project. The validity of the telemedicine maturity model (TMMM) is tested within the context of the South African public health sector.
- ItemThe development of a software development framework by combining traditional & agile methods to address modern challenges(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, Department of Industrial Engineering, 2011-09) Nortier, Bernadette; Von Leipzig, Konrad H.; Schutte, Corne S. L.This paper is focused on the development of a Software Development Framework (SDF) by applying the principles of Agile with phase management to produce an Agile SDF that is focused on delivering working software in time and on budget within an environment where requirements are not well identified nor defined up-front. This paper will focus on delivering a development process, which handles uncertain requirements and can adapt to software requirements that change late in the development cycle. The framework is based on Rational Unified Process (RUP) as its skeleton and supplemented with Scrum to produce a risk and value driven Agile methodology covering the entire development lifecycle. The principle behind the amalgamation of these methodologies is to maximize the individual strengths of both traditional and Agile software development methodologies, while controlling their weakness. Some level of the predictability, stability, and high assurance is compromised for agility to create a process that can easily adapt to rapid changing business requirements and still produce high quality software.
- ItemEmployee flourishing strategic framework(Southern African Institute for Industrial Engineering, 2016) Stelzner, Samuel Georg Eric; Schutte, Corne S. L.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper produces a preliminary version of a strategic framework for managing employee flourishing. ‘Flourishing’, a term from positive psychology, describes the experience of ‘the good life’. Providing this experience benefits employees. It also motivates them to sustain the enterprise that provides it. This positions employee flourishing as a strategy for long-term enterprise performance, a key concern of industrial engineering. The framework incorporates a systems approach and literature from a variety of bodies of knowledge, including organisational behaviour and human resource management. The framework includes a process, tools, and elements that assist enterprises to manage employee flourishing.
- ItemFighting change with change : a process for re-engineering an enterprise(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, Department of Industrial Engineering, 2011-09) Du Preez, J.; Schutte, Corne S. L.Many organisations have realised that continuous change is a prerequisite to success. The problem however, is that 70% of change initiatives that are launched by organisations fail to deliver the benefits they were intended to provide. The aim of this study is to solve this very serious and common problem by developing a practical and easy to follow enterprise engineering process that any commercial organisation can use to successfully implement radical change.

- ItemA production planning method to optimally exploit the potential of reconfigurable manufacturing systems(Elsevier, 2016) Hees, Andreas; Bayerl, Christina; Van Vuuren, Brian; Schutte, Corne S. L.; Braunreuther, Stefan; Reinhart, GuntherENGLISH ABSTRACT: Manufacturing companies must operate in a dynamic environment. Consequently, companies constantly have to adapt their manufacturing systems to stay competitive. One approach to ensure the success of manufacturing companies is to use reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS). Current production planning methods cannot quickly realize the production-side adaptions available in RMS and are limited in flexibility. A novel production planning method to optimize the potential of RMS is presented in this paper. First, the key characteristics and planning requirements for an RMS are defined. A feasible configuration is then determined, using a planning method based on mixed integer linear programming (MILP) to realize capacity scalability and functionality changes within planning processes. Finally, an application scenario to validate the method is outlined.
- ItemA strategic framework for improbable circumstances(SAIIE, 2015) Kennon, Denzil; Schutte, Corne S. L.Rare events, known as ‘Black Swans’, have determined the course of history. One of these was the global economic crisis of 2008. Such events highlight fields like strategic management and their shortcomings in helping to prepare organisations. The Strategic Framework for Improbable Circumstances was designed to add to the strategic management process by improving organisational preparation for these rare events. The framework was validated through interviews with experts who showed the need for such a framework, and who confirmed that it is a good first step for organisations to take towards addressing these Black Swan events.
