From Concept to Customer

The Practical Guide to Integrated Product and Process Development, and Business Process Reengineering

By: Jack B. ReVelle,Normand L. Frigon,Harry K. Jackson

Repeat business. It's the core of a thriving business. But how do you create loyal customers in a competitive global market where products are often obsolete two years from conception? Listen to the voice of your customers, says Jack ReVelle, and build your entire infrastructure around responding to that voice." "The secret? The Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD), a cross-functional approach that integrates customer feedback at every juncture. Using this process you will: reduce cycle time from concept to delivery, reduce costs for developing and producing products and services, minimize design changes after design release, and improve quality of products and services, as measured by customer satisfaction." "IPPD enables you to turn products over faster, retiring them at optimum profitability so you can then replace them with newer offerings that are even more responsive to your customers' demands."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Tracks and Shadows

Field Biology as Art

By: Harry W. Greene

Intellectually rich, intensely personal, and beautifully written, Tracks and Shadows is both an absorbing autobiography of a celebrated field biologist and a celebration of beauty in nature. Harry W. Greene, award-winning author of Snakes: The Evolution of Mystery in Nature, delves into the poetry of field biology, showing how nature eases our existential quandaries. More than a memoir, the book is about the wonder of snakes, the beauty of studying and understanding natural history, and the importance of sharing the love of nature with humanity. Greene begins with his youthful curiosity about the natural world and moves to his stints as a mortician's assistant, ambulance driver, and army medic. In detailing his academic career, he describes how his work led him to believe that nature’s most profound lessons lurk in hard-won details. He discusses the nuts and bolts of field research and teaching, contrasts the emotional impact of hot dry habitats with hot wet ones, imparts the basics of snake biology, and introduces the great explorers Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace. He reflects on friendship and happiness, tackles notions like anthropomorphism and wilderness, and argues that organisms remain the core of biology, science plays key roles in conservation, and natural history offers an enlightened form of contentment.

The Strategic Planning and Deployment Excellence System (SPADES)

Ensuring Complete Success from Strategic Plan Development to Deployment

By: Jack B. ReVelle,Susan Stuffle,Harry Jackson

The Strategic Planning and Deployment Excellence System (SPADES) provides a path to long-term success in the environment of rapidly changing technology and business systems. It combines the best of Hoshin Kanri, Quality Function Deployment (QFD), and other proven management and leadership tools and techniques. This book presents a set of tools and techniques for developing and deploying a long-term plan for achieving sustained success. These concepts ensure graphically tracing the strategic planning process from the foundation of organizational principles to the enterprise vision and to the organization’s long-term goals. The Scientific Method is the foundation upon which the tools and techniques of SPADES are applied. The Scientific Method begins with an observation of a phenomenon which leads to development of a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon. The hypothesis is then tested and, based on the analysis of the results, then accepted or adjusted as necessary. The testing may then be repeated to verify conclusions. The Deming-Shewhart Cycle of plan-do-check-act (PDCA) is the application of the Scientific Method for control and continual improvement of processes and products. SPADES is the integrated evolution of the PDCA Cycle and QFD to answer the challenges of how to stay competitive, year after year, in a dynamic environment of rapidly changing customer requirements and technology.

The Strategic Manager

By: Harry Sminia

Strategy is a much-discussed, much-misunderstood topic among managers. In this new edition of The Strategic Manager, Harry Sminia continues to focus on how strategy works in practice, questioning readers’ existing expectations that strategy is a matter of strategic planning in order to help them to move into practicing strategy as an everyday activity. The book is based around six different strategy theories, individually presented and supplemented with useful lists of questions that encourage readers to become competent strategic thinkers. Bridging theory and practice, a range of real life case studies open a window into the real world of strategic management. Essential reading for postgraduate students and those in executive education, this text will also be a useful tool for managers trying to develop a better understanding of this easily confused subject.
