Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time, quality has been one of industry's main preoccupations. It remains so today. There is some foundation for the statement that there is a 'quality crisis' in Europe, the methods traditionally used in our industries being unable to meet today's demands. Consequently it is essential to look for new directions in which to progress, taking account of the methods for achieving quality that have been developed in recent years. These methods impact on all parts of the industrial enterprise - marketing, manufacturing, research and development, after-sales services. All staff, administrative or technical, are involved. The present book describes the tools that can help anyone who is concerned with the concept of 'total quality'; it will also be a valuable educational aid for students reading for degrees or other qualifications in engineering. P. Lyonnet I General questions and concepts 1 INTRODUCTION: HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE TOTAL QUALITY? This book is concerned with the various techniques and methods of analysis that can be used to ensure total quality in a project. In this first chapter we show the costs that result from not achieving quality, so as to make clear how important a quality-assurance service is to any enterprise. We stress also the involvement of marketing, particularly in laying down specifications for reliability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La Qualité est aujourd'hui une valeur reconnue dans l'entreprise. Face à la pression de la concurrence internationale, la gestion totale de la Qualité est devenue l'un des facteurs déterminants de la compétitivité des entreprises. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de définir les principes et les méthodes de l'approche globale de la Qualité. Il démontre pourquoi et comment : toutes les fonctions de l'entreprise sont impliquées dans l'obtention de la qualité des produits et des services ; au sein de chaque fonction, chacun est responsable de la Qualité à part entière ; les besoins des clients (coûts, délais, performances) sont globalement pris en compte ; une exigence de Qualité universelle (absence totale de défauts) est énoncée et mise en pratique ; les ressources doivent être progressivement transférées du mode curatif au mode préventif ; chaque fonction est impliquée dans le processus d'amélioration continue de la qualité pendant toute la vie du produit, depuis la conception jusqu'au service après-vente."

Book excerpt: Véritable traité de référence et guide pratique, Principes fondamentaux du génie des procédés et de la technologie chimique répertorie et analyse les principes de base incontournables pour réaliser des synthèses industrielles de produits chimiques. Il présente également les fondements de la qualité, de la sécurité et de l'environnement, notions indispensables à maîtriser avant de mettre en route et de conduire un procédé. Organisé en 3 parties, cet ouvrage rassemble toutes les notions théoriques et pratiques nécessaires aux chimistes avant d'industrialiser un procédé physique ou chimique. Il permet : d'assimiler les théories et concepts fondamentaux impliqués dans les procédés (grandeurs physicochimiques, bilans de matière et d'énergie, équilibres physiques et chimiques, etc.), illustrés par 54 exercices d'application. Un chapitre est également consacré à la mise en oeuvre des opérations chimiques en présentant les connaissances de base sur les réacteurs chimiques idéaux et industriels, sur la qualité, la sécurité et l'environnement, d'acquérir une méthodologie efficace pour la conduite de calculs de base à travers 84 exercices et problèmes de synthèse résolus issus de situations industrielles réelles et de la pratique professionnelle. De difficulté croissante et commentés pas à pas, ces exercices permettent de progresser et de vérifier ses acquis, de savoir interpréter et maîtriser les opérations physiques et chimiques les plus courantes. Totalement inédite, cette partie reposant sur des déterminations expérimentales présente des exemples de bilans effectués dans des opérations de séparation ou de synthèse chimique réalisées à l'échelon pilote (rappel des notions théoriques, description exhaustive du matériel utilisé et des opérations à effectuer, présentation et interprétation des résultats expérimentaux…). Enrichie de 26 annexes rassemblant les principales données utilisées et de deux index détaillés, cette nouvelle édition constitue un support indispensable pour les étudiants et enseignants en génie des procédés et en chimie industrielle des IUT, STS, licences et masters professionnels ainsi que des écoles d'ingénieurs.

Download or read book Translation Quality Assessment written by Malcolm Williams and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining an original, discourse-based model for translation quality assessment that goes beyond conventional microtextual error analysis, this ground-breaking new work by Malcolm Williams explores the potential of transferring reasoning and argument as the prime criterion of translation quality. Assessment through error analysis is inevitably based on an error count - an unsatisfactory means of establishing, and justifying, differences in quality that forces the evaluator to focus on subsentence elements rather than on the translator's success in conveying the key messages of the source text. Williams counters that a judgement of translation quality should be based primarily on the degree to which the translator has adequately rendered the reasoning, or argument structure. An assessment of six aspects of argument structure is proposed: argument macrostructure, propositional functions, conjunctives, types of arguments, figures of speech, and narrative strategy. Williams illustrates the approach using.

Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to analyze the problem of the intensity of forms in the late Middle Ages and to show how this debate eventually gave rise to a new metaphysical project in the 14th century: the project of quantifying the different types of perfections existing in the universe – that is the project of “measuring being”. Cet ouvrage se propose d’analyser l’histoire du débat relatif à l’intensité des formes au Moyen Âge, et de retracer la manière dont il conduisit au XIVe siècle à l’émergence d’un projet métaphysique nouveau : celui de quantifier les perfections contenues dans l’univers et, ainsi, de “mesurer l’être”.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the management literat ure , as elegantly trumpeted by management consultants and gurus, there seems to be a common message: tor a firm to be competitive it must produce quality goods or services. This means that firms, to remain competitive, must at the same time produce at the least cost possible to be price competitive and deli ver high quality products and services. As a result, quality has become strategie overnight, involving all, both in and out of the firm, in the management of its interfaces with clients and the environment. To give quality, suppliers, buyers, operations and marketing managers, as weIl as corporate management must become aware of the mutual relationships and inter-dependencies to which they are subjected, so that they will be able to function as a coherent whole. This involves human relations and people problems, organizational design issues, engineering design options, monitoring and control approaches and, most of all , a managerial philosophy that can integrate, monitor and eontrol the multiple elements which render the firm a viable quality producing and profitable whole. To realize the benefits of quality it is imperative that we design products to be compatible with market needs, market structure, eompetition and, of course, that we are constantly aware and abreast of consumers' tastes and the manufacturing technologies that are continuously emerging.

They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This first volume is focused on economic issues.
