A Postmortem of Financial Frauds: The 5S Approach

"Modern world, saturated with innovations and digital technologies, opens numerous opportunities for development and convenience. However, along with these opportunities, the likelihood of becoming a target of fraud rises. Financial crimes are becoming more pronounced and sophisticated, utilizing new technical and social methods of influence. With these changes, existing risks, including fraud risk, have significantly increased. In spite of extensive endeavors to eliminate fraudulent actions, apparently fraud in its different forms persists and is escalating in both occurrence and magnitude. Identifying fraud schemes is a crucial aspect of fraud detection. Detecting fraud risks at an early stage can bolster investor protection, enhance investment returns, prevent costly legal battles, and promote efficient operation. This study concentrates on the various facets of fraud. It examines the pre and post-effects of fraud. It also involves extensive research on the available literature on financial and non-financial frauds and has come out with a conceptual model that helps to give an overall 360-degree view of the concept of fraud. This work gives a theoretical insight into fraud. It reveals a five-part comprehensive approach termed as the 5S approach to analyze and view the concept of fraud, namely the Segregation of fraud, Schemes used to commit these frauds, Stimulus for committing these types of frauds, the Significant Consequences or the resultant effects of fraud and finally the ways of reducing or countering these frauds or the specific remedies to negate or overcome these frauds."

Use of Lean Management Methods based on Eye-Tracking Information to make User Interfaces in Production more Human-centered

Manufacturing Execution Systems are a state-of-the-art technology in industrial companies. Being a core enabler during Industry 4.0, these software solutions are still growing. This is underlined by companies like SAP, that has launched a new cloud-based module for manufacturing execution, even though they already have been well positioned in this market. Due to the amount of opportunities given to interact more with operators via user interfaces, many disciplines use this format for bringing in their information. Information overload for the worker could be the consequence. This paper evaluates the idea of using the results given from tracking the worker’s eye movement to apply classical Lean Management methods for layout optimization, such as 5S. In order to deal with the risk of information overload, the theoretical background of Eye-Tracking and Lean Management are explained. In this paper, the idea as well as its proof of concept is described in the Analysis part. In detail, the resulting Heatmap from worker’s gaze point will be compared with a Spaghetti Diagram and its information for the 5S approach. Thus, further research and suggestions for an experimental design to evaluate the influence of those potential optimizations on the cognitive ergonomics of the operators are discussed.

Lean Optimization of Batch Production in an Aluminium Company

This work investigates the optimization of a batch type of production and operational management in an aluminium company using a lean manufacturing system. The operation and production system of the case study company runs in various sectors, which led to waste in the system, hindering the company's ability to meet customer demand. Through operational data analysis and questionnaires, the team identified the types of waste generated by the case study company. Lean manufacturing techniques such as eight deadly wastes, Heijunka, takt time, 5S approach, quality tool management, value stream mapping, Kaizen, Kaban, Gemba, and top and bottom-level involvement were employed to manage the waste. The findings reveal defects in inventory, transportation, waiting times, and untapped ideas of employees, all of which significantly impact the company's performance. This allows for daily production of small batches of aluminium alloys (AA3001, AA3105, and AA3110) without issues, supported by the principle of pull production. Additionally, the application of Takt time results in a significant reduction of production time, leading to improved efficiency. The study also highlights the high interaction effect of transportation, defects, and inventory wastes on various production lines, such as the bogie fitting line paint line, and anti-intrusion. Among the lean manufacturing tools, Kaban, standard work, and 5S are identified as the most frequently used. The research findings provide valuable insights for manufacturing industry leaders to spot the performance gaps and enhance the application of lean manufacturing practices.

Substructure similarity search for engineering service-based systems

With the broad application of service-oriented architecture in service-oriented software engineering, service-based systems (SBSs) are becoming ever more widely used. As a result, the selection of appropriate component services destined to fulfill the functional requirements becomes a critical challenge for successfully building SBSs, especially when the pre-specified SBS plan involves a complicated structure. Because building an exact SBS is often too restrictive, a similarity search for complex functional requirements becomes an essential operation that must be efficiently supported. We thus investigate in this work the substructure similarity search problem of building a SBS. To solve this new research problem, we propose a feature-based method, called the substructure similarity search for service-based systems (5S), to help users find similar SBS solutions by progressively relaxing a SBS plan. The 5S approach models each SBS as a set of features and transforms the task of relaxation of a SBS into the maximum allowed missing features, which can filter many SBSs directly without costly structure comparisons. 5S thus opens a new paradigm for efficient SBS engineering that shortens the build cycle. Finally, we discuss a series of experiments using real-world Web service datasets that demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Contrivance of 5s System to Effectuate Higher Productivity in Apparel Industries

Bangladesh is the second largest exporter of readymade garment (RMG) products in the world after China. Above 80% of its total export earning is contributed by the RMG sector which has a huge impact on the economy of the country. At present this RMG sector is facing many threats and challenges to hold its flourishing position because of the entrance of new competitors both in the national and international market. To overcome these challenges continuous improvement is required to a great extent. This paper experiments execution of 5S approach to a production scenario in a garments industry. 5S method should be improved to ensure ergonomics in the workplace, to reduce defects and increase cleaning and productivity growth. It is one of the fundamental tools to intensify continuous improvement process in organizations and represents a transformation in 5 steps of a job, which is characterized by maximum efficiency at the micro level and minimum loss. Any company applying the 5S methodology will have reduction of different types of waste, efficient workflow due to lesser machine breakdowns, lower defect rates, reduced inventory and effective problem visualization, visible and swift results in an efficient way.

Implementation of 5S in Scientific Equipment Company

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how an age-old Japanese manufacturing concept 5S can be helpful is bringing business excellence in the scientific equipment industry. The primary point of interest in this paper is to highlight the 5S approach and also the implementation part of it. The implementation steps help to identify the potential for improvement and the existing gaps as compared to a benchmark. The study was made in each section of the selected company by conducting Gemba i.e. physical exploration in order to identify the gaps. Once the gaps and the concerned areas were identified, the implementation phase begins and the result for the same was discussed using the two case studies implemented in the industry. Subsequently, the paper discusses how the implementation of 5S leads to the reduction of wastages such as searching time, improvement of workplace safety, health, and cleanliness. Since the entire activity i.e. identification of gaps and implementation are Gemba-based, the steps are easy and deterministic in nature and the improvement is clearly visible/ measurable. It was recognized, both from the case studies and from the industry knowledge that 5S activities not only improve workplace safety, health, and cleanliness but also lead to higher quality and productivity and hence market competitiveness. The success, however, depends on the chain of command and are top-driven at least at the beginning phase.

Implementing a quality management system using good clinical laboratory practice guidelines at KEMRI-CMR to support medical research.

Background: Good Clinical Laboratory Practice (GCLP) is a standard that helps ensure the quality and reliability of research data through principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The implementation of GCLP includes careful documentation of procedures, competencies and safety measures. Implementation of GCLP is influenced by existing resources and quality systems, thus laboratories in low- and middle-income countries may face additional challenges. Methods: This paper describes implementation of GCLP at the Kenya Medical Research Institute-Center for Microbiology Research (KEMRI-CMR) as part of a quality system to support medical research. This study employed assessment, twinning (institutional mentorship) model, conducting relevant training workshops and Kaizen 5S approaches to implement an effective quality management system using GCLP standard. This was achieved through a collaboration between the KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Research Programme (KWTRP) and KEMRI-CMR. The aim was compliance and continuous monitoring to meet international GCLP standards in a way that could be replicated in other research organizations. Results: Following a baseline assessment in March 2017, training, mentorship and a cycle of quality audit and corrective action using a Kaizen 5S approach (sorting, setting in order, shining, standardizing and sustaining) was established. Laboratory personnel were trained in writing standard operating procedures and analytical plans, microbiological techniques, and good documentation practice. Mid-term and exit assessments demonstrated significant declines in non-conformances across all GCLP elements. KEMRI-CMR achieved GCLP accreditation in May 2018 by Qualogy Ltd (UK). Conclusions: Involving all the laboratory personnel in implementation of quality management system processes is critical to success. An institutional mentorship (twinning) approach shows potential for future collaborations between accredited and non-accredited organizations to accelerate the implementation of high-quality management systems and continuous improvement.
