Ediacaran-Paleozoic Rock Units of Egypt

Their Correlation with Adjacent Countries and Their Depositional Environments

By: Mohamed Abdel Ghany Khalifa

This book presents the following geological contributions in Ediacaran and Paleozoic rocks. 1) It introduces four new rock units for the first time, the Ediacaran El Urf Formation (volcanoclastic sediments in the central Eastern Desert), the Ediacaran Abu Haswa Formation (stromatolitic dolostone in southwestern Sinai), the Early Permian Wadi Dome Formation (mixed clastics and carbonates in the west of Suez Gulf) and the Early Permian Misawag Formation (in the subsurface, northwestern Desert), 2) making correlation of the Ediacaran rock units with the corresponding rock units in Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, 3) linking the exposed Paleozoic rock units with their equivalent rock units in subsurface in northwestern desert, 4) correlating the Paleozoic rock units with the equivalent rock units in adjacent countries, e. g. Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, 5) manifesting the possible depositional environments of the Ediacaran and Paleozoic rock units. Additionally, it offers an important unique geological information about the Ediacaran and Paleozoic rock units in Egypt. It unifies the nomenclature of Paleozoic rock units that take numerous names for the same geological time. It obsoletes the formation names that do not follow the rules of the North American stratigraphic code (1983) for rock units’ nomenclature. It provides the target audience illustrations, e.g. field photographs for the exposed rock units that save efforts and time for audience (undergraduate, post-graduate, researchers and professional) to reach to the original localities of each rock units. It provides the audience with schematic diagrams that exhibit the link between the exposed and subsurface rock units all over the Egyptian territory. It describes the following topics of each rock unit: definition, stratigraphic contact, lithological characteristics, faunal and floral associations that are used for the identification of the possible age, correlation with corresponding rock units in adjacent countries, e.g. Libya, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia and the possible depositional environments for each rock units. The book is a fundamental source of an updated version of the information in the field to the undergraduate, graduate, researchers, professional, practitioners and policy planning elsewhere.

Supply Chain Management Performance and ERP Implementation (UUM Press)

By: Zulkifli Mohamed Udin ,Ahmad Saleh Shatat

Business management has entered the era of networking competition. This has moved the competition from a local to that of global business environments and from company against company to that of a supply chain against supply chain. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become one of the main pre-requisites and a strong and integrated IT infrastructure for many companies enabling them to compete and to gain a competitive advantage in the local and global marketplace. ERP systems are considered as the backbone for e-business as well as for the whole supply chain, particularly for those companies that undertake online business transactions. Supply Chain Management Performance and ERP Implementation is unique in its breadth of coverage the impact of ERP systems functionality on Supply Chain Management (SCM) performance with respect to Top Management Support, Employee Involvement, and Cultural Fit. It is presented and explained in a clear, straightforward manner based on the empirical data through a research.

Implementation of PROJECT MANAGEMENT, ERP, JIT, SCM, TQM and TPM: Empirical Study of Egyptian and Chinese Manufacturing Firms

By: Maher Mohamed Kamel Ibrahim Hashim

Research on Just in Time (JIT), Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM),Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) generally investigate the implementation and impact of these programs in isolation. However, none of these paradigms is self sufficient and may not be powerful enough to deliver the improvements and innovations that are required nowadays to insure the survival and growth of a firm. They are not mutually exclusive and inconsistent.On the contrary, they need complementary support and may reinforce mutually to make use of their complementarily, inducement of side effects in favor of other paradigm's, mutual simulation and exploitation of shared values. More researchers have begun to discuss the importance of synergistic approaches by understanding the joint implementation and effect on manufacturing programs.

Practical Benchmarking: The Complete Guide

A complete guide

By: Mohamed Zairi,P. Leonard

by Bob Camp The business improvement topic and quality tool called benchmarking is becoming widely understood and broadly applied. There are now applica firms that tions in almost all segments of the economy including industrial either produce a product or a service, non-profit organizations such as healthcare, government and education. The approach is starting to spread around the globe with initiatives in Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. This is commendable and reassuring and must show that there is significant interest in the approach and that it works. What is missing, however, are books and reference material that are not solely prepared in the US where benchmarking started. Theses would include examples of applications relevant to the local area and industries. They would include references to articles written about benchmarking appearing in local publications. In this fashion those interested would have near hand case histories of the use of benchmarking and therefore become encouraged to use the technique. Zairi and Leonard have done the benchmarking community a real service by documenting the European view and application of benchmark ing to a wide range of examples. But they have not stopped there. Their text includes treatment of a number of related facets of benchmarking that makes this a fairly thorough text.

Mastering Change Management

Mastering Change Management

By: Professor Mohamed Zairi

According to INSEAD Quarterly (2003), seventy percent of change programs fail. Depressing news at a time when more and more organisations face turmoil in response to the highly dynamic business environment. They fail because leaders are not capable to make changes that are broad enough, deep enough and above all swift enough to revive the organisation. In contrast, organisations that implement change initiatives that are fast, focussed and simultaneous have the chance to create enormous and long-lasting stakeholder value. This book demonstrates the role of leaders in managing organisational change especially during the time of uncertainty and turbulence. It represents the notion of change management from a practitioners' point of view. The book highlights what is happening in reality in the process of change management, what are keys to success and causes of failure. A number of tools, techniques, roadmaps and checklists have been included to enable leaders to successfully handle complex situations and make appropriate decisions with regards to multidimensional problems.

Super Excellence: The Path to Sustainable Superior Performance

By: Mohamed Zairi

The "Super Excellence" title provides a rich menu of solutions and ideas on how to drive excellence in its new meaning in the context of the digital revolution and how to pave the way for a path that can lead to sustainable superior performance.The start of the end of excellence as we know itThe quality profession has continued to take the view that measuring up against criteria of excellence that were set thirty years ago is a valid argument. Further, it continues to be considered a mindset that is powerful enough to induce the practice of quality and support the nudging, growth and development of organisations aspiring to become excellent, and also to create elite categories of role model organisations that can claim to have achieved dominant positions in the practice of excellence as we know it. The reality, however, demonstrates that the world around us has changed enormously and all of the industries that serve the world with products and services have either been disrupted by the introduction of digital technology, or in many cases, have disrupted the innovative thinking that drives specific sectors, in order to create new momentum, new high levels of performance.If one looks, for instance, at the list of most admired companies in the world in 2017 (Fortune List 2017), none of the top ten organisations are associated with either using the principles of excellence via the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award or the European Quality Award, and none have been previous winners of these prestigious awards. Starting, for instance, with Apple in the computer industry, they are admired for their constant disruptiveness and the power of their innovative thinking in producing generations of sophisticated and desired innovations. Amazon, which was classified as the second most admired company in 2017 and represents top-level internet services and retailing, has also continued to pioneer with its disruptive thinking in the fields of distribution and retailing, using the power of technology and, more and more, using digital tools for reaching out to the global consumer society. Starbucks, classified as the third most admired company, represents the food services sector and is recognised for its consumer experience supremacy. Disney, as a similar example, has been a pioneer in the field of entertainment with augmented reality and theme parks and provides memorable experiences to consumers. South West Airlines, classified as number eight in the Fortune classification of the world

Deep in Crisis: The Uncertain Future of the Quality Profession

Deep in Crisis: The Uncertain Future of the Quality Profession

By: Mohamed Zairi

The "Deep In Crisis" book describes the malaise that currently exists in the Quality Profession and examines in a rigorous way the emerging challenges, the characteristics of the new global business world greatly facilitated by the digital revolution.The quality profession is currently in turmoil. It is searching for a new form of impetus, whilst also trying to tackle the deep crisis it finds itself in. Indeed, immediately after celebrating a century of great impacts at all levels, in a consistent and highly innovative manner, the quality revolution seems to have dried up, and is struggling to cope with the various radical changes surrounding us at the political, economic and social level. The legacy of the quality revolution is undoubtedly extremely vivid in the minds of top executives, quality managers, scholars and experts in the quality field. The problem, however, has been the inability to challenge the relevance of specific tools and techniques, concepts and theories in light of the wider macro changes that have taken place at an unprecedented pace. Certainly, if one looks at the macro changes that are constantly redefining the business world and also our lives, none of the suppositions assumed by the quality professions have been evidently present in the new and modern world. Furthermore, none of the experiences which have been cumulatively delivered to a stellar standard in all walks of life can be made adaptable and relevant in the context of a digital world where the emphasis on value creation has radically changed. The obsession with products and services in terms of developing them, improving the processes for manufacturing or production and expediting delivery to the end customer, can now be viewed as a naive and narrow way of looking at value creation. The envelope for this value creation has been to minimize variation, optimize performance, tackle costs through lean and Six Sigma principles, and assume that the impact generated will lead to superior excellence standards and enable the organisations concerned to feel that they are competing at a high level. Product orientation has in fact been superseded by a significant focus on services and even service orientation has been superseded by customer orientation, where the emphasis on customer experience has become the norm. Furthermore, customer orientation is now being superseded by market orientation, where business models themselves are being redefined in order to adapt to significant changes taking place, particularly through disruptive technologies in the form of smart mobile and the advent of the internet. It is therefore relevant and appropriate to ask several questions about the lack of clarity of the quality profession, in terms of validating the relevance of the philosophies, principles and tools being advocated. Further questions relate to the kind of contribution that the profession is expected to make, can make, and will confidently deliver in light of the various transformations taking place, in particular within the industrial revolutions. Q1. To what extent has the quality profession managed to adapt its concepts and principles by placing the shift away from products to services? Q2. Has the quality profession realised that the pursuit of measuring customer satisfaction maybe futile and limiting at best? Q3. In light of the recent development in customer experience as the holy grail for focusing on customers, what has the quality profession developed in terms of concepts, philosophies and tools that will help organisations develop their capability to get closer to their customers and understand their needs and requirements in a much better way, and therefore, impact on them much more significantly than in the context of product or service orientated eras?
