“… Self-organization: It focuses on decentralized decision-making so that any units can plan and operate independently and when an accident occurred the authority is given to any units to decide without going through the orders of a hierarchical decisions (Plowman et al, 2007).  Teamwork: This item implies the capability of the system for working as a team and sections are aware of each other's with mutual support which causes decreasing in the workload (Burtscher & Manser, 2012).…”

Construction sites are accident-prone locations and therefore safety management plays an important role in these workplaces. This study presents an adaptive algorithm for performance assessment of project management with respect to resilience engineering and job security in a large construction site. The required data are collected using questionnaires in a large construction site. The presented algorithm is composed of radial basis function (RBF), artificial neural networks multi-layer perceptron (ANN-MLP), and statistical tests. The results indicate that preparedness, fault-tolerance, and flexibility are the most effective factors on overall efficiency. Moreover, job security and resilience engineering have similar statistical impacts on overall system efficiency. The results are verified and validated by the proposed algorithm.2018 Growing Science

“…Also, "Human resource management", "supplier's delay" and "availability" are among the most influential factors. Resilience engineering factors have satisfactory level which means managers and staff have enough knowledge about their job and they can assess and evaluate different situation properly (Plowman et al, 2007).…”

In this study, an integrated approach is presented for analyzing the impact of resilience engineering and ergonomics factors in aerospace supply chain using data envelopment analysis (DEA). The proposed approach selects the preferred supplier by considering traditional supply chain factors as well as resilience engineering and ergonomics factors. Also, the relevant performance efficiency of each decision making unit is calculated. The case study of this paper is the supply chain of real commercial airlines. Thus, the aerospace standards as well as resilience and ergonomics factors are considered to be modeled by the mathematical programming approach. 22 suppliers are evaluated by analyzing inputs and outputs through data envelopment analysis, and each supplier is considered as a decision making unit (DMU). In this study, the most effective factors are identified as "reliability", "Human resource management", "supplier's delay" and "availability". Also, "lead time" shows the highest potential for improvement. This study helps decision makers identify the weaknesses of their supply chain management to establish a performance improvement plan in aerospace industry.Growing Science Ltd.

“…Complexity theories for emergent change challenge the assumption of linearity and instead propose constant change interacting through a network of feedback loops (Plowman et al, 2007). It is suggested that novelty can only emerge from such instability (Sashkin & Burke, 1987).…”

Problem -When lean is adopted in traditional organisations it requires a widespread organisational change and many businesses fail to sustain lean practices. Purpose -The purpose of this work was to define lean implementation based on the organisational development (OD) body of knowledge. Approach -The literature in lean and organisational change was reviewed and amalgamated to develop a novel conceptual framework. Findings -Lean implementation begins with a planned changed that is episodic. However, the ultimate goal is to develop a learning organisation where change is continuous and emergent from all levels. Respect for people, everyone in the organisations contribution, is considered key to successful implementation of lean. Implications-Practitioners should not focus on isolated improvements, but foster change from within for a sustained transformation to become a lean learning organisation. Originality -This paper provides new insights into lean implementation and its transformative effect on the organisation. A novel conceptual model is presented that frames lean transformation within the organisational development literature.
