“…Spatial Hypertext [7] is a document composing method that represents relationships by spatial proximity and visual cues. Similarly, tools to support the KJ method, such as the KJ Editor [8], GUNGEN [9], and D-ABDUCTOR [10], are proposed. These tools enable users to handle virtual cards and Post-it notes on a PC.…”

SUMMARYPractitioners of the Jiro Kawakita (KJ) method, a method for organizing ideas, typically use paper labels and four-colored ball-point pens to record their ideas during the creative thinking process. A similar approach is used in group KJ method sessions; however, the effectiveness of capturing and sharing the diagrams and information is limited because of the large amount of paper required. Considering the merits of the conventional paper-pen approach and the demand for quick sharing of diagrams after a session, we designed and implemented a system to digitize group KJ sessions-not just the diagrams but also the details of the creative process. We used digital pens during the session to capture the position and orientation of labels as well as their content. We confirmed the efficiency of our system by applying it to several GKJ sessions.

“…First, a qualitative phase was carried out to identify the important concepts to be measured regarding perceived quality of product and service. Therefore, a small number of semistructured interviews was conducted at injection companies (illustrative sample of customers of Portuguese mould makers), which were complemented by a KJ study (Ohiwa, Takeda, Kawai, & Shiomi, 1997). The information gathered allowed us to identify the key factors, which may contribute towards the perceived quality of products and services:…”

Customer satisfaction (CS) and retention are key issues for organisations in today's competitive market place, making its proper evaluation a main concern for companies. Recently, the European Customer Satisfaction Index (ECSI) has been assumed as a reliable and independent frame-of-reference way of assessing CS. This article describes one framework based on ECSI, which attempts to evaluate the factors that contribute to CS for the Portuguese moulds industry. In order to pursue this goal, an ECSI model, specific for the injection mould industry, was designed and tested. Owing to the characteristics of the gathered data, partial least squares was used to estimate model parameters. The estimated model, which shows validity and reliability, demonstrates an excellent capacity for explaining CS (80.4%), as well as loyalty (58.2%). We also propose an approach to link the ECSI model parameters to the generation and evaluation of design solutions for moulds. This linkage allows us to identify the critical factors for achieving high levels of molds' design quality, through analytical hierarchical process (AHP) ranking, and to determine the impact of mould's design solutions over CS and retention.

“…The affinity diagramming (sometimes called the KJ diagram after its creator, Kawkita Jiro [8]) was developed to discover meaningful groups of ideas within a raw list. Usually it is used to refine a brainstorming into something that makes sense and can be dealt with more easily.…”

Abstract. There are many approaches to complex problem solving, depending on the nature of the problem and the people involved in the problem. In this paper, a computational scheme based on meta-synthesis approach is applied to a social problem on exploring some issues about taxis drivers. Firstly, group argumentation environment (GAE) as a computerized tool is used to facilitate expert thinking process (meeting) about the concerned topics and form scenario or hypotheses based on qualitative meta-synthesis approach. Next, six strategies of quantitative meta-synthetic system modeling are introduced and one of that is used to construct a multi-agent model which aims to analyze the relations between taxis drivers' income and their behavior response intensity. Finally, some concluding remarks and future works are given.
