Lean Human Performance Improvement

Lean Human Performance Improvement

As companies continue their efforts to improve work performance they must ensure that their ongoing Lean activities include a healthy appreciation for and recognition of human performance. Ignoring the human component of work performance can be a recipe for unnecessary waste inefficiency and decreased productivity. Lean Human Performance Improvement presents a broad overview of human performance in the workplace. The author discusses his findings from a broad spectrum of human performance-related fields and diverse industrial sectors (gained by working in the field for over 30 years). Organized in three sections this book covers understanding human performance analyzing and improving work productivity and analyzing and improving quality and safety. The author first develops a fundamental and basic understanding of human performance then couples that understanding with learning how to analyze and improve human-related work productivity and quality and safety. He also discusses how knowledge and skills transfer from one work setting to another. Intended for Lean Six Sigma team members and human performance improvement practitioners the book contains multiple examples from diverse work settings to explain key points. It also includes several major case studies. The goal of all examples and case studies is to develop a generic understanding that in turn can be successfully applied to any work setting.

Performance Art in Portugal

Performance Art in Portugal

This book explores histories which have only recently been rediscovered by artists and researchers. This study explores the history of Portuguese performance art in its various speculative and performative forms. The author approaches this relationship with the re-emergence and centrality of these (semi-)peripheral histories at an international level whilst identifying some of their unique traits: their cycles of emergence and retraction in Portuguese history; their multiple and complex ontologies; the intertwined relations between the art of performance and the social performance of the Portuguese (regarding topics as sensitive and fracturing as those of the long dictatorship the colonial war and the revolutionary process or even the integration of Portugal in the European Community and more recently the various 21st century social political and economic crises). This reading in turn covers the development of the relationship between performance and hybridism namely analyzing the recent dimension of meta-hybridism in the processes of artistic homage that contemporary Portuguese creators have been establishing through access to the histories and archives of this historical genre. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies performance art and arts in general. | Performance Art in Portugal

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance lists and explains the difference between lagging and leading measures of safety management performance. It informs the reader how to use both proactive and reactive safety performance indicators and explains that consequence measurement is not an accurate reflection of the organization’s safety effort. It suggests managements’ Safety Performance Indicators (SPI) should be changed to proactive positive measures of action and activities which can be controlled and accurately measured. A roadmap of a holistic system for measurement is offered that covers health and safety performance. It shows how management is traditionally informed about where they have been by information provided relating to injury data rather than proactive measurable and controllable data on accident prevention efforts provided by the health and safety management system (SMS) which indicate where they are going. This highly practical book features examples of safety performance indicators provides positive guidelines for accurate safety performance measurement and is based on actual workplace experiences. It explains the strengths and weaknesses of proactive and reactive measurement metrics and gives examples of leading and lagging safety performance indicators. This book will be an ideal read for professionals and graduate students in the fields of occupational health and safety ergonomics and human factors engineering. It will have resonance with managers and professionals engaged in health and safety provisions at their place of work.

Performance Reliability and Availability Evaluation of Computational Systems Volume I Performance and Background

Performance Reliability and Availability Evaluation of Computational Systems Volume I Performance and Background

This textbook intends to be a comprehensive and substantially self-contained two-volume book covering performance reliability and availability evaluation subjects. The volumes focus on computing systems although the methods may also be applied to other systems. The first volume covers Chapter 1 to Chapter 14 whose subtitle is ``Performance Modeling and Background. The second volume encompasses Chapter 15 to Chapter 25 and has the subtitle ``Reliability and Availability Modeling Measuring and Workload and Lifetime Data Analysis. This text is helpful for computer performance professionals for supporting planning design configuring and tuning the performance reliability and availability of computing systems. Such professionals may use these volumes to get acquainted with specific subjects by looking at the particular chapters. Many examples in the textbook on computing systems will help them understand the concepts covered in each chapter. The text may also be helpful for the instructor who teaches performance reliability and availability evaluation subjects. Many possible threads could be configured according to the interest of the audience and the duration of the course. Chapter 1 presents a good number of possible courses programs that could be organized using this text. Volume I is composed of the first two parts besides Chapter 1. Part I gives the knowledge required for the subsequent parts of the text. This part includes six chapters. It covers an introduction to probability descriptive statistics and exploratory data analysis random variables moments covariance some helpful discrete and continuous random variables Taylor series inference methods distribution fitting regression interpolation data scaling distance measures and some clustering methods. Part II presents methods for performance evaluation modeling such as operational analysis Discrete-Time Markov Chains (DTMC) and Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMC) Markovian queues Stochastic Petri nets (SPN) and discrete event simulation. | Performance Reliability and Availability Evaluation of Computational Systems Volume I Performance and Background
