4 Preface More than 100 years ago, Frederick Taylor moved forward applying scientific methods to the engineering of processes. Analyzing and synthesizing workflows in order to improve economic efficiency is a challenge we are facing again today when digitizing production processes. However, this time labour force plays a dual role. Besides being the affected, due to its knowledge and market pressure, it is required for designing work, thus, redefining the role of management. S-BPM has received attention for digitizing processes, while aiming to empower stakeholders developing their organization. However, its application in managing production processes still challenges management and operation. Several case studies, presented in this volume, helped exploring the potential and experiencing the limits of engineering a company from a communication-centred perspective. It is not only about demonstrating capabilities and implementation, but also letting people design their workplace while running the business operation. In this volume, we have structured the latest findings in Industry 4.0 projects utilizing S-BPM features. Developers, educators, and practitioners will find some conceptual background and results from the field indicating the state of the art in vertical and horizontal process integration. The chapters have been carefully selected and thoroughly peer-reviewed by at least two experts in the field. In order to get such job done, many people have been actively involved, in particular, The authors of the various contributions documenting their findings for sharing experiences, The project team supporting the developments and reviews, and The European Commission funding this SO-PC-Pro 1 outreach activity Finally, we cordially thank Ralf Gerstner and Eleonore Samklu from Springer for their continuous support and assistance when publishing this volume. Linz, Austria Matthias Neubauer Christian Stary 1 SO-PC-Pro is a European FP 7 project on subject orientation for people-centred production supported under grant agreement no (Theme FoF.NMP Workplaces of the future: the new people-centred production site Factories of the Future ) see also v
5 Acknowledgements The work reported in this book received funding in part from the European SO-PC-Pro project. SO-PC-Pro represents a collaborative research project in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/ ) of the European Union under the grant agreement no The authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the SO-PC-Pro project to this book. Both the industrial cases reported in this book aimed to involve workers and provide worker-centred solutions. We gratefully acknowledge the valuable contributions of the workers and the management commitment allowing to take sufficient time for in-depth investigations. In Company A, we would like to especially thank Mr. Marek Baris for his strong commitment to the project and the support of the SO-PC-Pro project team as well as his support for the workers. Besides, we would like to acknowledge Tatiana Telecká and Tibor Telecky for providing a testbed. In Company B, we would like to acknowledge the valuable feedback from shop floor workers and their encouragement to contribute to workplace redesign. Especially, we would like to thank Davide Tiziani, Ricardo de Bon, Giovanni Bassotto and Massimiliano Ruffo. Aside from the industrial cases, laboratory testing related to stress measurement has been performed at Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. These activities were strongly supported by students in terms of test design, implementation and evaluation. We gratefully acknowledge the test persons for volunteering to be part of this research as well as the students for enabling and conducting the test. vii
