Book Description
Ce guide opérationnel pour l'optimisation de la performance des processus propose : Un mode de fonctionnement qui permet d'améliorer les pratiques de travail par une écoute des clients internes. Une méthodologie d'évaluation et de réduction des coûts de fonctionnement de chaque service ou de chaque processus. Des outils ayant fait leurs preuves pour réduire les tâches inutiles et augmenter la valeur ajoutée de chaque activité. De nombreux exemples concrets de réalisation. Des difficultés de communication Dans un environnement difficile et exigeant, les entreprises doivent être compétitives et les organismes publics ou associatifs doivent utiliser leurs ressources au mieux des intérêts de la communauté. Mais, malgré les nombreux progrès déjà réalisés dans tous les secteurs, nous constatons chaque jour des gaspillages d'énergie et de bonnes volontés en raison du fonctionnement parfois archaïque des organisations et des difficultés que nous éprouvons à communiquer les uns avec les autres. Une réflexion globale et non pas individuelle sur l'efficacité Nous travaillons tous dans des chaînes d'activités et de processus qui nous rendent étroitement dépendants les uns des autres. Aussi convient-t-il d'avoir une réflexion globale et non pas individuelle de l'efficacité. Travailler utile, c'est faire en sorte que les autres deviennent eux aussi plus performants Notre efficacité aujourd'hui n'est plus liée à notre performance intrinsèque ou à celle de l'entité dans laquelle nous travaillons. Elle est proportionnelle à notre capacité à permettre à ceux qui travaillent en aval de faire toujours mieux. Nous devons apprendre à travailler pour les autres et à apporter de la valeur dans ce que nous faisons. Nous devons apprendre à travailler pour les autres afin qu'ils deviennent eux-mêmes plus efficaces et plus performants. Des solutions simples et pragmatiques d'amélioration Cet ouvrage suggère aux dirigeants d'entreprises ou d'organismes (administrations, associations, etc.), aux responsables de production, aux responsables qualité et à tous ceux qui ont le souci de la performance, des solutions simples et pragmatiques d'amélioration.
The Great Accelerator
Author: Paul VirilioPublisher: Polity
ISBN: 074565388X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
On 10 September 2008, amid much fanfare, the Great Collider run by CERN in Geneva was turned on. The Collider was supposed to fire protons around a seventeen-mile loop of tunnels, causing them to crash into one another at close to the speed of light and break into even tinier particles. Nine days later the Collider broke down and had to be switched off, the accelerator temporarily silenced, the reckless search for 'God's particle' put on hold. At the same time the speeded-up markets of global finance, with screens of multi-coloured numbers designating the rapid flows of capital, are suddenly thrown into confusion when news spreads that the great Titan of Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, has filed for bankruptcy. Investors panic, share prices plunge and the accelerated markets of global finance seize up. In his latest book, Paul Virilio - the leading theorist of our obsession with technology, speed and power - rewrites 'The Book of Exodus', but the exodus he talks about is no longer conducted in a single file of people headed for some possible Promised Land. It is a closed-circuit exodus within a cramped world, where reduction in human stocks will suddenly look like the only solution to the lockdown of history.

Professionalism
Author: Eliot FreidsonPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745666299
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Eliot Freidson has written the first systematic account of professionalism as a method of organizing work. In ideal-typical professionalism, specialized workers control their own work, while in the free market consumers are in command, and in bureaucracy managers dominate. Freidson shows how each method has its own logic requiring different kinds of knowledge, organization, career, education and ideology. He also discusses how historic and national variations in state policy, professional organization, and forms of practice influence the strength of professionalism. In appraising the embattled position of professions today, Freidson concludes that ideologically inspired attacks pose less danger to professionals' institutional privileges than to their ethical independence to resist use of their specialized knowledge to maximize profit and efficiency without also providing its benefits to all in need. This timely and original analysis will be of great interest to those in sociology, political science, history, business studies and the various professions.
Professionals and the New Managerialism in the Public Sector

ISBN: 9780335198207
Category : Administrative agencies
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, there have been substantial changes to public sector organization and management. A key aspect of this change has been the emergence of a 'new managerialism' which appears to have challenged many widely held and established principles and practices within the public sector. This book explores the relationship between professionals (and professionalism) and the new managerialism by using in-depth studies from education, social work and medicine
Faecal Sludge Management
Author: Linda StrandePublisher: IWA Publishing
ISBN: 1780404735
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Fluxes and Processes
Author: A. TremblayPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540266437
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 743
Book Description
In a time when an unquestionable link between anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and climatic changes has finally been acknowledged and * widely documented through IPCC reports, the need for precise estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) production rates and emissions from natural as well as managed ecosystems has risen to a critical level. Future agreements between nations concerning the reduction of their GHG emissions will - pend upon precise estimates of the present level of these emissions in both natural and managed terrestrial and aquatic environments. From this viewpoint, the present volume should prove to a benchmark contribution because it provides very carefully assessed values for GHG emissions or exchanges between critical climatic zones in aquatic en- ronments and the atmosphere. It also provides unique information on the biases of different measurement methods that may account for some of the contradictory results that have been published recently in the literature on this subject. Not only has a large array of current measurement methods been tested concurrently here, but a few new approaches have also been developed, notably laser measurements of atmospheric CO concentration 2 gradients. Another highly useful feature of this book is the addition of - nitoring and process studies as well as modeling.
