Literatur Review

The following previous research that related to my research topics :

1.      Role change of design Engineers in product development.Paul Hong, Mark A. Vonderembse, William J. Doll, Abraham Y. Nahm. 2005 (Cited by 25)

The background of this research from researchers and practicing managers contend that design engineers may play an important role in product development efforts. However, their effect on the product development process is not well understood and extent of their impact on product development performance has not been adquately. This journal  about develop a research framework that describes the links among the role change of design engineers, clarity of project target, shared knowledege about customers and product development productivity.

2.      Knowledge sharing and strategic fit in integrated product  development project: An empirical study. Paul Hong, William J. Doll, Elena Revilla, Abraham Y. Nahm. 2008 (Cited by 3).

            This research discuss about strategic fit is instrumental for cross-functional teams to integrate product development outcomes. Identifies critical knowledge sharing component that enhances the extent of strategic fit that in turn improves the success of product development efforts. Adaption  share knowledge in action to project environment team and accordingly engaging in innovative problem-solving while ultimately achieving project goals of time, cost and value.

3.      Shared knowledge and product design glitches in integrated product development. Rauniar Rupak, Doll William, Rawski Greg, Hong Paul. 2011. (Cited by 22)

This research discuss about product development process based on the joint collaboration of the cross-functional team, suppliers, and customers that can minimize project glitches. This study purposes a model of the relationship between shared knowledge and integrated product development (IPD) projects. This model using 191 projects from the automotive industry in the United States. The major finding were that: (1) shared knowledge of the development process can be built by improving  a teams’s shared knowledge of the customer, suppliers, and internal capabilities, (2) shared knowledge of the development process for a project reduces product design glitches, (3) reduced product design glitches improve product development time, cost, and customer satisfaction.

My Mind Mapping for Thesis ^_^

Dalam penelitian, mind mapping merupakan hal yang penting daam menggali ide penelitian. dari Mind Mapping ini dapat diketahui hal apa saja yang menjadi objek untuk fokus penelitian. Dari mind mapping ini kita bisa mendapatkan berbagai informasi untuk membantu masalah yang kita ingin teliti. Berikut merupakan mind mapping untuk penelitian yang akan saya lakukan tentang Strategi perusahaan dalam meningkatkan kualitas produk. Strategi perusahaan ini melibatkan berbagai faktor yang berpengaruh dalam pengambilan keputusan perusahaan untuk menentukan stategi yang akan diambil.

Figur 1.
Mind Mapping Strategi Perusahaan dalam Peningkatan Kualitas Produk

Berdasarkan mind mapping tersebut dapat diketahui cabang-cabang dari topik yang dipilih.

Resume Problem statement-Kuliah metodologi Penelitian Pascasarjana ITS 2 Maret2013

Writing Problem Statement and Research Question                             Date: 2  March 2013

Dr. Gary J. Dean

 Research Concept

 

Adanya Issue yang menjadi daya tarik peneliti untuk memberikan pemecahan masalah. Issue yang diambil merupakan masalah yang sedang hangat dibicarakan, lalu ambil contoh kasus 

yang membuat issue tersebut lebih jelas dan spesifik.

 Basic tools for conceptalizing a research study:

1.      Problem Statement

Probelm statement merupakan bagian yang penting dalam suatu penelitian. Di dalam problem statement berisi general idea (ide umum) yang mendasari dilakukannya penelitian.

Problem statement terdiri dari :

a.       TPOTS (The Purpose of Study)

      Merupakan tujuan dari studi yang dilakukan, apa objektif yang akan dicapai dari penelitian yang dilakukan

b.      Verb (What are you going to do)

Merupakan kata yang memberikan penjelasan mengenai apa yang akan dilakukan pada penelitian. Verb menjelaskan lebih detail mengenai objektif/ tujuan pada penelitian.

Contoh :

-          Describe

-          Compare

-          Evaluate

-          Identify

-          Improve

-          Optimize

-          Measure

-          Determine

-          Create/develope/design

c.       Key Word

Suatu kata yang menjadi kata kunci dari penelitian ini. Kata ini harus dikembangkan lebih jauh, dan secara detail mendefinisikan maksud penelitian. Dengan kata kunci tersebut mengakibatkan batasan dalam penelitian sehingga maksud dalam penelitian dapat dipahami dan  membatasi lingkup penelitian agar lebih spesifik.

Contoh key word :

-          Performance

-          Attitude

-          Male and Female

Contoh problem statement:

The purpose of this study is to describe and compare the attitudes and performance of male and female graduate student.

2.      Research Question

Berisi pertanyaan apa saja yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini. Research question dapat diawali dengan pertanyaan What, Why, How berkaitan dengan problem statement. research question ini membantu untuk mengelola topik menjadi

Contoh research question :

a.       What are the attitudes of graduate student regarding required research courses?

b.      What is the performance of graduate students in required research courses?

3.  Hyphoteses

Merupakan pernyataan yang memberikan dugaan atas pemecahan masalah yang disertai dengan alasan yang empiris dan ilmiah.

Hal penting yang pertama kali harus dilakukan adalah mencari info sebanyak-banyaknya tentang apa yang ingin diteliti. Selain itu harus bisa menumbuhkan preferences atau kesukaan pada apa yang ingin dilakukan pada penelitian, menumbuhkan rasa keingintahuan yang besar dan rasa bangga jika dapat meneliti dan menyelesaikan masalah yang ada pada maksud penelitian. Disamping itu, harus percaya diri pada apa yang ingin dilakukan pada penelitian.

Disscussion

The rule of discussion:

1.      Ask the student to choose what the question in problem statement based on their interest for conduct research. The question divide by three question : What, Why, How. They can combined  the question become  What Why, and What How.

2.      Split student in each group  depend on they Question, so the group consist of three group, there are Group “What”, Group “Why”, and Group “How”.

3.      Start to discuss in each group about their problem statement, verbs, key words and research question.

4.      Present the result of discussion in class, supervise by Mrs. Janti.

Example for Discussion:

Problem statement : To develope model that allign cost analysis and company’s strategic in product development throught minimizing cost by alternative process.

Verbs:

1.      Develope

2.      Allign

Keywords:

1.      Model

2.      Company’s strategy

3.      Cost analysis

4.      Product Development

5.      Minimizing Cost

Research question:

1.      What the model in research? Identify the model is new or develope the previous model? (the purpose is to create model or to make perfect the previous model?)

2.      What is the factor that influence in company’s strategy?

3.      What is the componet in company’s strategy?

4.      What is the process in product?

5.      What is the ruquire to develope the product?

6.      How to analyze the cost?
