Japanac u Zagrebu - banka.hr
Bankamagazin Objavljeno 09.52, 01.07.2011. Piše Željko Ivanković, glavni urednik Banke U četvrtak, 30. lipnja časopis Banka organizirao je u Zagrebu, u Novinarskom domu, predavanje japanskog veleposlanika Yoshia Tamure: Rebirth of Japan & a brief Review of Croatian Economy (Ponovno rođenje Japana & kratki pregled hrvatskog gospodarstva). Iako je predavanje bilo na engleskom i u vrijeme kad su godišnji odmori već počeli, posjet je bio dosta dobar. Rijetko koji od oko sedamdeset-osamdeset posjetilaca napustio je dvoranu prije kraja sat i četvrt dugog predavanja, premda ozvučenje nije najbolje funkcioniralo, a i veleposlanik Tamura nije uvijek govorio u mikrofon. Nakon predavanja, većina od onih s kojima sam razgovarao bila je zadovoljna, neki i jako. Pitanje je, naime, koliko su se zapravo razumjeli, odnosno koliko Hrvati uopće žele razumjeti ono što Japanci govore. Nedavno je na televiziji Marijana Petir, zastupnica HSS-a, govorila o tome "da treba uzeti u obzir da je Hrvatska prošla rat".

The Eight Elements of TQM-Framework

Total quality management
Total quality management (TQM) consists of organization-wide efforts to install and make permanent a climate in which an organization continuously improves its ability to deliver high-quality products and services to customers. While there is no widely agreed-upon approach, TQM efforts typically draw heavily on the previously-developed tools and techniques of quality control. TQM enjoyed widespread attention during the late 1980s and early 1990s before being overshadowed by ISO 9000, Lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma. History[edit] In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the developed countries of North America and Western Europe suffered economically in the face of stiff competition from Japan's ability to produce high-quality goods at competitive cost. Development in the United States[edit] From the Navy, TQM spread throughout the US Federal Government, resulting in the following: Features[edit] The key concepts in the TQM effort undertaken by the Navy in the 1980s include:[11] Joseph M.

Six Sigma vs. Total Quality Management
May 28, 2007 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Quality Management Six Sigma vs. Total Quality Management By Tony Jacowski Six Sigma is a relatively new concept as compared to Total Quality Management (TQM). However, when it was conceptualized, it was not intended to be a replacement for TQM. Both Six Sigma and TQM have many similarities and are compatible in varied business environments, including manufacturing and service industries. Total Quality Management Total Quality Management is often associated with the development, deployment, and maintenance of organizational systems that are required for various business processes. Comparison To Six Sigma In comparison, Six Sigma is more than just a process improvement program as it is based on concepts that focus on continuous quality improvements for achieving near perfection by restricting the number of possible defects to less than 3.4 defects per million. The basic difference between Six Sigma and TQM is the approach. Conclusion
Lincoln Papers: Emancipation Proclamation: Introduction
Abraham Lincoln Papers Almost from the beginning of his administration, Lincoln was pressured by abolitionists and radical Republicans to issue an Emancipation Proclamation. In principle, Lincoln approved, but he postponed action against slavery until he believed he had wider support from the American public. Lincoln had already drafted what he termed his "Preliminary Proclamation." Nine days later, on July 22, Lincoln raised the issue in a regularly-scheduled cabinet meeting. The Cabinet meeting of September 22, 1862, resulted in the political and literary refinement of the July draft, and on January 1, 1863, Lincoln composed the final Emancipation Proclamation. The original autograph was lost in the Chicago fire of 1871.

A new book, Made in China, delivers lessons learned by Chinese entrepreneurs in the rugged and dynamic environment of that country. This excerpt zeros in on determining if your timing is right: Is the window of opportunity open? by Donald N. Sull with Yong Wang Editor's note: We all know the stories of famous American entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, and Bill Gates. Three windows of opportunity Golden opportunities hold out the promise of great rewards but generally require risky concentration of resources without the benefit of knowing whether the bet will pay off. These questions of whether the customer need is real and the potential market big enough to constitute a golden opportunity are critical. The reality of golden opportunities, however, is more complicated. Is the market poised to take off? [ Buy this book ] Footnotes: 1. 2. 3. 4.
