Abstract

Increasingly, consumers desire information about the health, safety, environmental and socioeconomic characteristics of food products. These traits often cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste. Therefore, consumers must use food labels to select products that meet their needs and preferences. The growing consumer and industry interest in food labels presents challenges for governments, which must ensure that the product information is accurate, truthful and not misleading to consumers. Governments must decide whether provision of information should be mandatory or voluntary. With the incr

Throughout the book, the emphasis is on practical methods of measurement, simulation, and analytical modeling. The author discusses performance metrics and provides detailed coverage of the strategies used in benchmark programmes. He gives intuitive explanations of the key statistical tools needed to interpret measured performance data. He also describes the general 'design of experiments' technique, and shows how the maximum amount of information can be obtained for the minimum effort. The book closes with a chapter on the technique of queueing analysis. Appendices listing common probability distributions and statistical tables are included, along with a glossary of important technical terms.

Abstract

The subject of management for quality has undergone rapid and drastic change as a result of competition in the marketplace and the vulnerability of industrialized societies that depend heavily on the quality of goods and services. In this companion volume to his acclaimed 'Juran on Planning for Quality,' J.M. Juran provides top-level managers with the specific, field-tested methods they need to successfully lead their companies on the quest for superior quality. Managers have long recognized that the most sound response to a competitive challenge is to become more competitive. Today, informed managers also realize that quality improvement is the best source of competitive advantage. They know that return on investment in quality improvement projects is among the highest available. Yet, the means by which management can supply the leadership necessary to attain quality goals remains elusive. J.M. Juran has drawn on the experiences of thousands of chief executives in companies around the world to create a clear plan of action applicable to any industry, whether service or manufacturing. The famous "Juran Trilogy," clearly presented step-by-step, shows how to apply the familiar business concepts of planning, control, and improvement to quality leadership. For each concept, Dr. Juran provides a succinct and proven series of actions. He gives criteria for selecting project-by-project improvements and mobilizing a team to carry them out. He also describes a realistic timetable of implementation and directs the formation of an ongoing quality council whose job is to launch, coordinate, and "institutionalize" annual quality improvement. The membership of this council, as Dr. Juran insists, must come from the ranks of senior managersthe stakes are too high for upper managers not to personally become the leaders and members of this vital council. Using real-world case examples of highly profitable quality improvements in such companies as Bethlehem Steel and Florida Power

Abstract

Ondanks onze gigantische knowhow blijven we in ons werk vermijdbare fouten maken. De reden is simpel: de omvang en complexiteit van onze kennis zijn zó groot, dat we die niet altijd juist en veilig kunnen toepassen. We zijn langer in opleiding, specialiseren ons meer en meer, gebruiken steeds geavanceerdere technologieën... en toch blijven we fouten maken. &#13;&#13;Atul Gawande pleit voor de checklist als bescheiden maar efficiënte methode om fouten in het werk te voorkomen. Checklists staan aan de basis van de lastigste opgaven: wolkenkrabbers bouwen, investeringsbeslissingen nemen, openhartoperaties uitvoeren, een restaurant runnen, een vliegtuig besturen - elke taak die een balans vereist tussen vrijheid en discipline, vakwerk en protocol, individueel specialisme en teamwork. &#13;&#13;'Het checklist-manifest' is een zoektocht naar de juiste manier van werken aan de hand van prachtige anekdotes. Besluitvorming blijkt decentraler te kunnen, en mensen mogen meer verantwoordelijkheid krijgen. Daarbij zijn ervaring, expertise en een professioneel oordeel belangrijk, maar dat oordeel moet geschraagd en verbeterd worden door een procedure, door overleg en door checks.&#13;&#13;

Extensive discussion is included regarding the techniques, procedures, and test protocols for probe-microphone measures.
