Indian industries need overall operational excellence for sustainable profitability and growth in the present age of global competitiveness. Among different quality and productivity improvement techniques, Six Sigma has emerged as one of the most effective breakthrough improvement strategies. Though Indian industries are exploring this improvement methodology to their advantage and reaping the ...

there has been considerable number of papers published related to six sigma applications in manufacturing and service organizations. however, very few studies are done on reviewing the literature of six sigma in all the areas including manufacturing, construction, education, financial service, bpos and healthcare etc. considering the contribution of six sigma in recent time, a more comprehensiv...

Numerical integrations using the three dimensional ocean model based on the princeton ocean model (POM) were applied for the study of both sea level elevation and ocean circulation patterns forced by the wind fields during typhoons that moved over the Gulf of Thailand (GoT). The simulation concerned a case of Typhoon Linda which occurred during November 1–4, 1997. Typhoon Linda was one of the w...

A wetting and drying scheme (WDS) is developed to incorporate into a three-dimensional sigmacoordinate coastal ocean model (POM; Blumberg and Mellor, 1983) with proposing an extended logarithmic profile within and above bed boundary layers to accurately simulate 3D hydrodynamics in extremely shallow coastal seas. While the WDS is simplistically formulated, it can selectively retain the computat...

This paper describes a fourth-order finite difference model of the equatorial ocean that is designed to study dynamic and thermodynamic processes on time scales of a decade or less. It is a primitive equation model employing the reduced gravity assumption so that the deep ocean is at rest below the active upper ocean. The model consists of a surface mixed layer and an active layer below, which ...

This paper presents a comparative analysis between two current control strategies, constant source power and generalized Fryze current, used in Active Power Filter (APF) applications having three different modulation methods. The Hysteresis Band (HB) and first-order Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) as well as the second-order DSM is applied. The power section of the active power filter is viewed as...

We describe the performance of a Spectral Element Atmospheric Model (SEAM) on the HP Exemplar SPP2000. SEAM uses spectral elements in the horizontal directions and sigma coordinates in the vertical. The model is both spectrally accurate, as demonstrated by a variety of test cases, and is well suited for modern distributed-shared memory computers, as demonstrated by the fact that we achieve 24 G...
