Value Stream Mapping is known for identifying and eliminating or streamlining non-value-adding activities in manufacturing, production, business processes. To depict the current status of operation, a flow diagram depicting process drawn. Non-value actions are detected by their waste time resources each step between phase. With use simulation tools, examined possibility dramatically reducing si...

Stream temperature, an important measure of ecosystem health, is expected to be altered by future changes in climate and land use, potentially leading to shifts in habitat distribution for aquatic organisms dependent on particular temperature regimes. To assess the sensitivity of stream temperature to change in a region where such a shift has the potential to occur, we examine the variability o...

Abstract Indonesia’s electrical energy potential is very significant in supporting the manufacturing and service industries. The efforts of state power companies to manage their supply chain systems require a sustainable strategy increase end-customer satisfaction global competition. One achieving competence can be done through measuring managing performance using SCOR Method Value Stream Mappi...

Observers of ten agree that ‘history repeats itself ’[1] in Eastern Congo – f rom the slavery condit ions imposed by Belgian King Leopold over Mobutu’s predatory state, to today’s armed milit ias. The reason why these ghosts come haunt ing Congo’s present is primarily related to unending compet it ion over the ‘right to protect ’ unfree populat ions; under the circumstances, this protect ion ra...

The past 15 years have seen a rapid expansion in the number of studies using neuroimaging techniques to investigate maturational changes in the human brain. In this paper, I review MRI studies on structural changes in the developing brain, and fMRI studies on functional changes in the social brain during adolescence. Both MRI and fMRI studies point to adolescence as a period of continued neural...

background health-related quality of life (hrqol) is used as a measure to valuate healthcare interventions and guide policy making. the euroqol eq-5d is a widely used generic preference-based instrument to measure health-related quality of life. objectives the objective of this study was to develop a value set of the eq-5d health states for an iranian population. patients and methods this study...

Executive Summary1 The full article describes how Buckman, a U.S.-based chemical manufacturer, redefined itself and its IT organization using “value” as the focal point for analysis. Buckman’s Value Stream Initiative (VSI) used a microlevel, individual view of value as assessed by customers. The VSI project carried out a comprehensive and detailed micro review of the value of all key processes....
