Nicht selten wird ein erstelltes Prozessmodell nicht weiterverwendet, so dass es nach kurzer Zeit von der betrieblichen Realität abweicht. Diese fehlen

Abstract:
The high adoption rate of cloud computing technology is changing the strategic, operational and functional aspects of businesses. Though, as cloud computing is seeing massive global investment, the vast concentration of resources and information argues for new sources of vulnerabilities and challenges for the cloud computing adopters. Hence, the cloud computing technology is argued to see its full potential once solid information security is established. There has been a palpable development of theories, guidelines and standards of how to implement, maintain and continually improve a security

Abstract:
In highly competitive industries where firms aren’t protected by barriers to entry and consumers’ preferences are constantly changing, the willingness and ability to adapt and continually improve operations may be critical for continued success. However, the internal exchanges between employees and managers that may be an integral part of the development and implementation of new ideas are often not modeled or included in our standard economic theories. In this research I investigate whether a higher level of employee voice (or employee input) predicts higher levels of continual improvement, a

Abstract Inhibition additives for hydrochloric acid usage in North Sea oil wells require adherence to regulations calling for continual improvement in environmental characteristics while maintaining performance. Some operating companies have conditions that require the acid system to perform at temperatures above 320°F (160°C). Other companies’ temperature requirements are for much milder conditions. Therefore, a system that meets current environmental standards and the broad range of temperature requirements is desirable. This study details a new inhibitor/intensifier system that meets these

Engineering solutions to stop the corrosion events were identified but for valid reasons were not implemented. The reasons why the engineering solutions were not implemented is discussed along with

Abstract Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a major challenge for different process industries. Today it is managed in many ways, ranging from full removal of insulation to minimal maintenance, including some inspection methods with insufficient non-destructive testing. These extremes exhibit a lack of understanding and systematic approach in managing the CUI risk, globally. A joint industry project (JIP) on CUI has developed a methodology that would help identify, assess and mitigate the CUI risk in a systematic manner.

Sometimes QI work is based inter-departmentally or may have been a legacy of work generated across a wider organization – e.g., beyond their clinical area. We also learnt that in some commun

In tertiary contexts where adults study writing for future academic purposes, teaching and learning via portfolio provides them with multiple opportunities to create and recreate texts characteristic of their future and imagined discourse communities.
