With the opportunities to expand from a local to a global market, organizations need to change with the development of information systems and communication technologies. The electronically transforming organizations' success depends not only to hardware/software usage but also transformation in the well-defined business processes. Successful transformation from "organization" to "e-organization" by innovative processes requires strategic and cultural changes as a result of changes in the leadership. In this thesis, a maturity model for the organizations to achieve to paperless office level will be constructed. Meanwhile, factors which are essential to reach that level are to be identified.

Multi-item two-ehelon inventory-distribution system design: a case study
Bulur, Hakan; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005)
In this study, inventoryاdistribution system of a company operating in Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry is analyzed. The system is a multiاitem, two-echelon, divergent inventoryاdistribution system with transportation constraints. The warehouses in the system are nonidentical and all of the warehouses are allowed to hold stock. The goal is to achive target customer service levels. Throughout the system, inventory is controlled by echelon stock periodic review (R, S) order-up-to level policy. The p...
The role of space in interdisciplinary collaboration in design education
Kaygan, Pınar; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur (2018-09-01)
The growing interest in the collaborative design education for innovation has mainly been concerned with students and learning outcomes. We know less about the collaboration between the tutors who teach interdisciplinary design courses. Addressing this gap, this article explores the effect of space on the interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty members from the fields of industrial design, architecture, engineering and business administration, who come together to design and conduct an extra-curricu...
Appraisal of augmented reality technologies for supporting industrial design practices
Topal, Basak; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (2015-01-01)
Having become widespread and easily accessible with the rapid advancements in technology, augmented reality (AR) offers potential uses for industrial designers, especially for design students. Some design stages, during which traditional tools and methods are used, may not fully communicate the total experience that a product offers. AR can provide a digital layer in which designers can present information and make their presentations more interactive. With this aim in mind, design practice fieldwork with t...
Developing a model for effective communication of user research findings to the design process
Töre Yargın, Gülşen; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2013)
It is a commonly held belief that the integration of user research data into the design process can bring great benefits; and there have been many studies that not only examine these benefits, but have also suggested how these researches may be carried out. However, effective integration relies as much on the way information gathered from user researches is delivered to the designer as the quality of the information gathered. Examples of how user research findings are communicated can be found in literature...
Soft Systems Methodology for design process improvement
Bayraktaroğlu, Bengül; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2018)
Organizations from different business sectors, which are certified by some standardization organizations, are increasingly prioritizing the process improvement to raise their product's quality. The process improvement in these organizations has focused principally on the refinement of existing processes to improve. This thesis study describes the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) for engineering design process improvement in an organization. In the concept of thesis study, it will lead to identi...
