Abstract [en]
Many enterprises adapt new approaches, methods and tools in their improvement
and development processes in their improvement system as a response to the
increasing global competition. A problem is that terms and concepts mean different
things to different people and in different contexts. Concept models could here serve
as shared mental models and facilitates understanding, development and later
implementation of a new present state of an improvement system. The objective has
been to explore the concept modelling method in an operations management context.
This paper presents two different cases on how to use concept models in research
and development activities for improvement method and improvement system
development. It is concluded that concept modelling seems to be a fruitful method of
support in an improvement system development context.
