As quality becomes an increasingly essential factor for achieving business success, building quality improvement into all stages-product planning, product design, and process design-instead of just manufacturing has also become essential.
The phenomenon of globalization has increased in recent decades due to the opening of borders in Eastern Europe and the sudden emergence of other countries in the global trade economy.
Newcomers to quantitative analysis need practical guidance on how to analyze data in the real world yet most introductory books focus on lengthy derivations and justifications instead of practical techniques.
Numerous books have been written about Toyota's approach to workplace improvement; however, most describe Toyota's practices as case studies or stories.
Multi-objective programming (MOP) can simultaneously optimize multi-objectives in mathematical programming models, but the optimization of multi-objectives triggers the issue of Pareto solutions and complicates the derived answers.
Systems engineering principles are currently being applied to system safety best practices in several industries, as well as state and local governments.
With large amounts of revenue at stake, process industries are focusing more on turnaround management as they strive to lengthen the interval between turnarounds.
Although most agree that Lean Six Sigma is here to stay, they also agree that learning how to sustain the results seems problematic at best and unattainable at worst.
