Abstract

With the aim of improving the understanding of the influencing roles of social- and technical matters in Shop Floor Management (SFM) this paper addresses how companies can facilitate a digital transition of SFM visualisation boards. By combining a pragmatic understanding with Science-Technology-Society studies that social- and technical matters form sociotechnical practices, this paper studies SFM in three companies. Findings are; the social- and technical matters are interrelated and influence SFM. In all three companies the main challenges are technical matters – inappropriate information architecture and data collection. In one company, the challenge is a habitual approach for doing SFM meetings.
