The Project aims at improving the efficiency of hospitals and healthcare centres using Big Data Analytics to evaluate identified KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) of its various functions. The Dashboards designed using computer technology serves as an interactive and dynamic tool for various stakeholders, which helps in optimising performance of various functions and more so maximise the financ...

The paper proposes a new CMMI-based risk management framework for lean implementation. Any process improvement implementation is subject to many unknowns and uncertainties. Generally, starts with certain assumptions, dependencies, limitations, which may convert into potential problems or risks. Those risks need be managed in systematic structured way. Lean one of the most widely used frameworks...

Implementing the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework in an organization can prove costly and daunting to an organization seeking to implement this framework for the first time. Complaints from organizations attempting this rigorous improvement program address the large overhead, implementation risks and lack of quantitative value compared to their present processes. However, ...

In this paper, we first introduce Software Process Improvement (SPI) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD); then study theoretical model of SPI for CMM and CMMI based on QFD. Through the research, we hope to achieve three goals: first, to develop a method, based on QFD, for the integration and prioritization of requirements from multiple perspectives; second, to map process requirements, includ...

The basic purpose of an Enterprise Architecture project is creating integrity among different enterprise components, including processes, systems, technologies, and etc. While CMMI focuses on improving the process of an organization and covers necessary elements relating to one organization distinguished by different maturity levels referenced as level 1 through level 5. In our previous paper [...

Many small software organizations have recognized the need to improve their software product. Evaluating the software product alone seems insufficient since it is known that its quality is largely dependant on the process that is used to create it. Thus, small organizations are asking for evaluation of their software processes and products. The ISO/IEC 14598-5 standard is already used as a meth...

Background In the past decades, maturity models have become important tools to visualize progress in adopting processes and standards and to benchmark companies in their industry (Becker et al. 2009). Two of the best known and oldest maturity frameworks are the Capability Maturity Model (CMM; Paulk et al. 1993; Watts 1987) and its follow-up, Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMi; CMMI Pro...

This S maintenance maturity assessment model is divided into four process domains containing 18 "Key Process Area", each in turn containing "Roadmaps". Roadmaps are bodies of knowledge containing recommended practices that are linked to one another. Using the S software maintenance maturity model, this paper describes the assessment process and results of an individual maintainer process mainta...

In the current marketplace, there are maturity models, standards, and guidelines that can help an organization improve the way it does business. Software process assessment models, ISO/IEC 15504 and CMMI provide good strategy to assess organization’s software development capability. However these models are too heavy to apply small and medium enterprise organization. A ISO/IEC 15504(Software Pr...
