Supernatural Story Finders

So I've been kicking myself trying to find this story, and it's a no-go far - so some help would be great! Basically, I found it on LJ, I think, and the tital was in Latin. I think it might have started with an F or a T. It was pretty long, from what I remember, and set in season 7. Basically, the entire premise was that Sam was continually hallucinating Lucifier as well as developing a fixation with doing things in threes.

There's an entire scene of the Winchesters buying pens in a Staples, basically, and Sam being super picky about it - how many black pens vs. blue - and it not being played for laughs. At some pointt some point, Sam was kidnapped by Crowley and chained to a pipe in some warehouse, arms above his head. Pairing were sort of a back-seat, but I remember that there was wincest and maybe implised Lucifer/Sam? Thanks for the help, guys. FUNDAMENTOS DE LA REINGENIERIA. Brainstorming. El "Brainstorming", o Lluvia de Ideas, fue la primera entre las técnicas creativas que se aplicaron a la gestión.

Brainstorming

Alex F. Osborn la puso en práctica en el año 1938 y desde entonces se ha integrado de tal manera en la forma de vida norteamericana que el término ha sido incluido en el Webster´s International Dictionary, definiéndose como: "La práctica de una técnica de conferencia en la que un grupo de personas busca la solución a un problema específico, juntando todas las ideas aportadas en forma espontánea por sus integrantes". Desde esos días de la pre - guerra cuando Osborn practicó el "Brainstorming" en su propia empresa, se han realizado amplias inversiones de la técnica y los principios que la apoyan en varias universidades norteamericanas, incluyendo la de Harvard y el Massachusetts Institute of Technology, y esta técnica ha llegado a formar parte de los programas de estudio de la mayoría de esos centros de estudio que cuentan con cursos de pensamiento creativo.

Las Reglas Básicas. Quality function deployment. Quality function deployment (QFD) is a “method to transform user demands into design quality, to deploy the functions forming quality, and to deploy methods for achieving the design quality into subsystems and component parts, and ultimately to specific elements of the manufacturing process.”,[1] as described by Dr.

Quality function deployment

Yoji Akao, who originally developed QFD in Japan in 1966, when the author combined his work in quality assurance and quality control points with function deployment used in value engineering. QFD helps transform customer needs (the voice of the customer [VOC]) into engineering characteristics (and appropriate test methods) for a product or service, prioritizing each product or service characteristic while simultaneously setting development targets for product or service.

"Time was when a man could order a pair of shoes directly from the cobbler. By measuring the foot himself and personally handling all aspects of manufacturing, the cobbler could assure the customer would be satisfied," lamented Dr. Yoji Akao, one of the founders of QFD, in his private lectures.

The term benchmarking was originally used by early land surveyors, who used the term to identify a fixed point from which all other measurements are made. Businesses such as AT&T, Motorola, Xerox, as well as most major corporations and many smaller ones have embraced benchmarking as standard operating procedure since the mid- to late 1980's.
