Holistic Management of Process Thru 4-DM Methodology

Full customer’s satisfaction and continuous improvement are two fore-running objectives on the agenda of any progressive organization. Herein, monitoring requisites and in return mapping actions/ processes for achieving targeted objectives should be an on-going task for all managers. There is thus a case for identifying, determining and controlling various steps, especially the critical ones which influence either Quality or operations. Desired breakthrough is promised through implementing ‘Process Management’ approach, recommended as a handy paradigm to map and monitor the organizations, so as to influence both the individual components of processes and their interactions as control levers. Process Management approach, because of its elaborate detailing, therefore is increasingly been preferred by Quality Managers and Six Sigma Black Belts alike. It is followed by maintaining the outputs in a trendy fashion called Dashboard.Through this paper the authors propose a schema of controlling results from processes, provided they judiciously ‘Define, Design, Develop, and Deploy’ the rudiments. These 4D’s may thus be construed as necessary preludes to process Management, followed by a concluding step as M (Manage). Regressive application of these 4D M components allow detailed identification of critical to control situations, leading to efficiency in business processes measured through the suitable metrics designed and deployed in Develop phase. Evidently several advantages accrue fast and deeper traceability in case of any non conforming situation, leading to overall efficiency. Advantages of the on-line approach which influence control processes through various levels have been recounted to consummate the 4DM based product realisation.

A Study on the Club Fashion Styles for Designing Clubber Fashion - Focusing on the Hongdae and Kangnam Club Areas -

The club culture is not something unified. Rather, it is a group of subcultures which share intertwined areas. And it keeps its own dress code, dance style, music genre along with series of authoritarian and unlawful rituals. For young adults, a club is a new cultural space to enjoy in reasonable price and they can express themselves without thinking much about others. A club creates its unique mass culture by producing continuously changing and experimental fashion styles. As the club culture's influence becomes powerful, the club market was established and experimental fashion styles are wide spread among general public, young adults who try to express their unique characters and even fashion-leading industry. The study results are as follows. First, dance club and its derivative, rave is symbolic axles and the center of social activity. They are also defined as culture which is related to specific space that continues to present and change sound and style. Second, the definition of clubber in a dictionary is club member or a person who is united with others. Third, based upon clubbers'fashion styles in Hongdae and Kang-nam areas, there are 5 different images including sexy casual, lingerie, dynamic, chic style and feminine style. Fourth, based upon case study above, to take unique life style of fashionista that leads fashion with trendy fashion style into account, we suggested five designs which are unique, sensitive and trendy. Fifth, through analyzing clubber generation and design factors of clubbers' fashion style combined with various trend, unique brand was developed to meet the demands of clubbers who want differentiated images and leading styles.

On the Spot: Seeking Acceptance and Expressing Resistance through the Bindi

Originally indicative of adherence to Hindu spirituality, the bindi is gaining popularity beyond Indian shores as a trendy fashion accessory. This paper attempts a discursive analysis of the bindi as a performative indicator of acquiescence to the Indian way of life, and as a symbol of resistance to assert individuality and femininity in the pursuit of larger sociopolitical action. Research findings indicate that although it was once considered a quintessential symbol of Indian womanhood, the bindi as a performative identifier has evolved beyond religious significance to include Indo chic, political affiliation, pseudo spiritual identification, as well as feminism and social activism.

Surface Fermi level engineering: Or there is more to Schottky barriers than just making diodes and field effect transistor gates

Surface scientists argue about the fundamental nature of Schottky barriers, or more precisely what determines the location of the Fermi level at semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. Electrical and materials engineers worry about how to make Schottky barrier diodes and gates to field effect transistors and the control of barrier heights. There is some interesting middle ground in which the location of the surface and interface Fermi level can, for example, determine semiconductor doping characteristics during crystal growth. In keeping with the trendy fashion of the 80’s to invent ‘‘catchy phrases’’ to describe marginally important new fields, we dub this middle ground as ‘‘surface Fermi level engineering.’’ Within the framework of this concept, we will discuss several interesting and well known examples of doping characteristics which are still somewhat mysterious. Specifically, we will address the following questions: (1) why is Ge doped GaAs p type when grown from Ga melts but n type when grown from Au melts? (2) why is low resistivity p type ZnSe, AlAs, and AlGaInP hard to make, and more importantly, how can we fix this problem? In addition we will describe how this concept relates to the electronic properties of a new type of GaAs, GaAs:As, which contains a high density of As precipitates.
