has increasingly grown in the food sector over the last decades because of the ever growing consumer expectations, government regulations and expanding competition in the market. The food companies have increasingly followed quality management (QM) process in recent years. Literature suggests that the application of QM depends upon managerial factors such as the size of the organization, the type of suppliers and customers, amount of automation, type of products, and most importantly the top management’s
The evolution of internal auditing has been a very dynamic one. It has been affected by the increasing focus for its role in corporate governance, especially because of its links with internal control. Internal auditors had to extend their area of actions, becoming more involved in control and governance processes. In the light of these changes, new concept began to become the bull’s eye for an auditor which includes the added value by internal audit to organizations and its effectiveness. In order
This chapter started with the introduction of the project work, which contains an overview of the quality improvement concept. Company profile is discussed in order to increase knowledge over the quality control process. Then the identification of the quality related problem which is to be solved and methodology discussed to find the effectiveness of using Six Sigma in the project. At the end purpose and limitations of the thesis work are discussed. 1.1 Development of Quality Engineering: In today’s
• Pioneer-follower strategies We can see the fact that in any company, the choice of whether to be a pioneer or a follower must be incorporated in the strategic planning process. A pioneer strategy is compatible with the choice of a broad or a focused differentiation strategy. A follower strategy is compatible with the choice of a broad or a focused low-cost strategy. (analogous to Kaplan, Norton, 2004). Indeed, pioneers gain advantage by making first moves in technology, product or marketing innovation
solution for numerous applications, currently induction machines are not losing their importance in numerous applications, such as for instance electric ship propulsion, electric traction, electric and hybrid electric vehicles and in the aircraft. The purpose of this unit is to provide a review of the recent developments in the area multiphase induction motor control. Voltage source inverter has got popularity in control of induction motor as per the need of industrial applications. Fixed a.c three phase
competitive advantage. Firms have to thrive for distinction by not only maintaining good relationships between the players in the supply chain, especially the suppliers and the manufacturers; but also collaborating robustly, which is gaining high importance. How early should a collaboration with suppliers begin is a pondering question to every manufacturer? However, this leads to mention that the
According to Rogers (2003), the Diffusion of Innovation theory encompasses awareness, interest, evaluation, trial and adoption into the change process. The awareness phase involves expanding the knowledge of healthcare workers about the changes needing to be made or evaluated (Gray, 2014). The APN must develop educational materials understandable at various educational levels as well as being easily
characteristics affecting decision and control processes. As yet, little of this attention has been focused on the combination of information flows, administrative processes and technical phenomena comprising the capital budgeting process; although prior research has shown that in the design of capital budgeting systems structural arrangements are necessary considerations (Berg, 1965; Ackerman, 1970; Honko,
Minimizing project risks is important in software development process. Investigation on risk management in software development has especially concentrated on forming instructions for different tasks. It helps to avoid project failure due to improper schedule, budget constraints and dissatisfaction of customer expectations. Risk management handles the project in the aspect of risk identification and rectification in order to develop control measures. Rectification may not mean abandoning the task that
throughout the manufacturing process and after the aircraft was manufactured. Aircrafts was overweight and technical issues causing delays and losses of billions of dollars. Problems with landing gear and lithium-ion batteries arise after the aircraft went on service. Hairline cracks are found in the wings during manufacturing. And engine shut down and loses its power after running for too long. In order to minimise these problem, boeing should implement their risk management process more efficiently, so
