Modeling continuous improvement evolution in the service sector: A comparative case study
( Christopher D. Milner ),( Barbara M. Savage ) 한국품질경영학회 2015 한국품질경영학회 학술대회 Vol.2015 No.2
Purpose & Value The paper aims to make a contribution to existing knowledge regarding how service-based organisations establish and sustain incremental performance improvement. Alongside a review of existing continuous improvement (CI) evolution theory, the longitudinal study draws a comparison between two departments within a leading financial service provider. Evidenced through a thematic narrative the paper answers the call for existing frameworks of CI evolution to be tested within the private and service sectors; the findings are aligned with, and offer refinement to the CI Maturity model proposed by Bessant et al. (2001). Approach Adopting an interpretive philosophy and inductive nature, the study employs a multi-qualitative methodological design. The single embedded case study allows for an intensive review and in-depth exploration. Through the construction of a flexible and exploratory design, the research has taken place over a three year period, through a series of six monthly research cycles. The longitudinal time horizon makes use of a narrative enquiry, this crucial to understanding behaviour and allowing the researcher to gain access to deeper organisational realities.
IIW White Paper - Its Significance to Creating a National Welding Capability
Christopher Smallbone 대한용접·접합학회 2015 대한용접학회 특별강연 및 학술발표대회 개요집 Vol.2015 No.05
In today’s world, no country or organisation can remain in isolation. Issues such as climate change, natural disasters, population growth and global economics are common to us all, as nations strive to achieve sustainable development in a sustainable environment. We are brought closer together by modern communications, information technology and travel, and are aware of our role and responsibilities in a cooperative and converging global community. With world population reaching 7 billion in 2011 and 9 billion predicted by 2045, the pressures on manufacturing, infrastructure and power generation, not to mention basic needs such as food, water, shelter and education, will become enormous common challenges. Welding - as an enabling technology that plays a critical role in almost every industry sector - is critical to the world’s ability to cope with these pressures and changes. Whether joining 20 micron in the Cochlear Ear Implant or welding the 480 metres long, 74 metres wide, 600,000 tonne world’s first floating liquefied natural gas plant, welding makes significant contributions to the global quality of life. Welding technologies, whether basic or sophisticated, and the people skilled in their implementation and application, are thus cornerstones to improved quality of life for all. The 57-member country International Institute of Welding (IIW) has released a Vision 2020 document, the IIW White Paper (WhiP), which has been developed by IIW experts in the fields of materials welding and joining technologies, training and education, as well as design and assessment of welded structures, to highlight future opportunities, needs and challenges world-wide. The WhiP has the following five primary objectives: ∙ To recommend the implementation of strategies to find solutions to meet these challenges ∙ To agree on directions to arrive at solutions ∙ To promote the implementation of identified directions for solutions on a national, regional and international basis through greater collaboration, shared knowledge and partnerships. ∙ To improve overall global quality of life i.e. health, safety, food, water, fair trade, environment, education opportunities. This paper reviews challenges for industries utilising welding and joining technologies. It looks at initiatives throughout the world and outlines IIW strategies for international cooperation for the achievement of the WhiP objectives, and the overall goals of the IIW Project “To Improve the Global Quality of Life through the Optimum Use of Welding Technology". In particular, it identifies aspects of the IIW White Paper that can be used by a country to establish a national welding capability: ∙ Education, Training, Skills and Career Paths ∙ Qualification and Certification ∙ Technology Transfer ∙ Research and Development ∙ National and International Networks
Man and Nature in William Carlos Williams' Peterson V and "Pictures from Brueghel"
Christopher MacGowan 한국현대영어영문학회 2007 현대영어영문학 Vol.51 No.1
When William Carlos Williams used the visual arts as part of arguing his modernist poetics in the 1920s his emphasis was upon getting away from inherited conventions, and for aesthetic models that would provide guidance for what he considered the necessary direction for contemporary American poetry. Williams’ continued interest in these issues is supplemented in the 1950s by his interest in painters—particularly Peter Brueghel—who incorporate a more human element, and one set in the cycles of the seasons, human life, and cultural change. This development is part of a wider shift in Williams’ poetics in the 1950s as he himself aged, became physically handicapped, and wrote poems that brought the human subject more fully into the experience informing the poem. In the 1950s poems the poet is very aware of his changing role in relation to the world described, or in some cases remembered, even as he continues to argue for an innovative aesthetics that can move these concerns beyond the poet’s own time-bound place in his own world. Such a position marks the difference between Paterson V, published in 1958, seven years after Book IV. The Unicorn Tapestries at the center of Book V mark Williams’ reconciliation with a European past that at the same time sets its aesthetic composition against changes in Dr. Paterson, and the shifting world of sexuality, the seasons, and cultural change. In the ten poems of “Pictures from Brughel,” (1960), this tension is central. The poet implicitly speaks through his reading of the painter’s concerns, the poet’s role emphasized through the selection of paintings, selection of detail within the paintings, and ordering of the ten poems. Brueghel interested Williams because of his emphasis upon foregrounding composition—the painting as a painting—but also the incorporation of the shifting cycles of human and natural change as subject matter.
