A textbook of Quality Assurance LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Quality assurance (QA) is any systematic process of determining whether a product or service meets specified requirements. QA establishes and maintains set requirements for developing or manufacturing reliable products.Quality assurance is a way of preventing mistakes and defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers; which ISO 9000 defines as "part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled".Quality Assurance in Software Testing is defined as a procedure to ensure the quality of software products or services provided to the customers by an organization. Quality assurance focuses on improving the software development process and making it efficient and effective as per the quality standards defined for software products. Quality Assurance is popularly known as QA Testing.

Service Management Operations Strategy & Information Techn McGraw-Hill

Inne 1

The text has extensive coverage on global operations, and the need for continuous improvement in quality and productivity in the service industry. Service Management also does an excellent job of demonstrating how crucial functional areas of an organization such as marketing, strategic issues, operations and human behavior impact effective service management.New Coverage of Internet and E-commerce Services - Keeping abreast of the current boom in Internet-based services, the authors have added a new chapter focusing on e-commerce and its correlation to the service industry. Examination of Internet services is highlighted by such topics as the design and delivery of electronic services, the electronic service product structure and process structure. Chapter cases emphasize the real-world application of this evolving discipline.New chapter on Services and the Supply Chain - Acknowledging the importance of discussing services within the overall context of the supply chain, the authors have added a new chapter on the subject. Both the movement of goods to the customer (logistics) and the movement of service providers (distributive workforce) to the customer are covered, addressing such important topics as supplier relationships, alliances, and partnerships within the context of modern purchasing. Contributions of information technology are highlighted throughout, offering students the most comprehensive and up-to-date information on how services operates with respect to supply chain concerns and how technology contributes to the operation.New Coverage of Simulation Tied to Service Models - The inclusion of the Service Model Simulation Software is accentuated in this new chapter supplement on Computer Simulation. The process of systems simulation is defined then explored through examples and exercises utilizing Service Model Software.Updated Software coverage of Services and Information Technology - In addition to updating and thoroughly revising the chapter on Information Technology, relevant material on the subject has now been integrated appropriately in all chapters of the book. Wherever a discussion of information technology occurs within the narrative, the reader is alerted to the fact by means of an icon placed in the margin. In this way, the important link between services and technology is made immediately apparent and accessible to students.Improved organization of Quantitative Material - In response to reviewers' suggestions, the quantitative material, previously included as a separate section in the back of the book, is now integrated into the narrative. Simplified quantitative supplements corresponding to and complementing the descriptive material are now placed directly following applicable chapters. This arrangement leads to a clearer understanding on the part of students by encouraging them to examine concepts and applications together.

Cost Reduction through Value Analysis & Value Engineering LAP Lambert Academic Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Value Engineering is a function oriented, systematic team approach and study to provide value in a product, system or service. Often, this improvement is focused on cost reduction; however other important areas such as customer perceived quality and performance are also of paramount importance in the value equation. Value engineering techniques can be applied to any product process procedure system or service in any kind of business or economic activity including health care, governance, construction, industry and in the service sector. Value Engineering focuses on those value characteristics which are deemed most important from the customer point of view. Value Engineering is a powerful methodology for solving problems and/or reducing costs while maintaining or improving performance and quality requirements. Value Engineering can achieve impressive savings, much greater than what is possible through conventional cost reduction exercise even when cost reduction is the objective of the task. In this work value analysis implemented to Gearbox housing and expected results will be reduction in weight and cost also saving in energy.

Perl Best Practices O'Reilly Media

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Many programmers code by instinct, relying on convenient habits or a "style" they picked up early on. They aren't conscious of all the choices they make, like how they format their source, the names they use for variables, or the kinds of loops they use. They're focused entirely on problems they're solving, solutions they're creating, and algorithms they're implementing. So they write code in the way that seems natural, that happens intuitively, and that feels good. But if you're serious about your profession, intuition isn't enough. Perl Best Practices author Damian Conway explains that rules, conventions, standards, and practices not only help programmers communicate and coordinate with one another, they also provide a reliable framework for thinking about problems, and a common language for expressing solutions. This is especially critical in Perl, because the language is designed to offer many ways to accomplish the same task, and consequently it supports many incompatible dialects. With a good dose of Aussie humor, Dr.Conway (familiar to many in the Perl community) offers 256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code--in fact, the best Perl code you possibly can. The guidelines cover code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing, and debugging. They're designed to work together to produce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and concise, but Dr. Conway doesn't pretend that this is the one true universal and unequivocal set of best practices. Instead, Perl Best Practices offers coherent and widely applicable suggestions based on real-world experience of how code is actually written, rather than on someone's ivory-tower theories on how software ought to be created. Most of all, Perl Best Practices offers guidelines that actually work, and that many developers around the world are already using. Much like Perl itself, these guidelines are about helping you to get your job done, without getting in the way.Praise for Perl Best Practices from Perl community members: "As a manager of a large Perl project, I'd ensure that every member of my team has a copy of Perl Best Practices on their desk, and use it as the basis for an in-house style guide." -- Randal Schwartz "There are no more excuses for writing bad Perl programs. All levels of Perl programmer will be more productive after reading this book." -- Peter Scott "Perl Best Practices will be the next big important book in the evolution of Perl. The ideas and practices Damian lays down will help bring Perl out from under the embarrassing heading of "scripting languages". Many of us have known Perl is a real programming language, worthy of all the tasks normally delegated to Java and C++. With Perl Best Practices, Damian shows specifically how and why, so everyone else can see, too." -- Andy Lester "Damian's done what many thought impossible: show how to build large, maintainable Perl applications, while still letting Perl be the powerful, expressive language that programmers have loved for years." -- Bill Odom "Finally, a means to bring lasting order to the process and product of real Perl development teams."-- Andrew Sundstrom "Perl Best Practices provides a valuable education in how to write robust, maintainable P
