Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replace anecdotal guesswork with quantitative fact when evaluating safety management Despite the extensive literature on safety, few tools have been available to help managers quantitatively assess the level of safety management and the quality of the safety practices in organizations. In his consulting practice, Dr. Jim Stewart, a former executive at DuPont, developed such a method, crafting a safety survey centering on a comprehensive questionnaire for employees at all levels, that reveals the true level of corporate commitment to safety. Managing for World Class Safety first describes the model of safety management that underpins the questionnaire and then demonstrates how this innovative procedure illuminates critical intangibles like management commitment, the enforcement of rules, worker involvement, and injury investigation. The central part of this book is the description of research at the University of Toronto that applies the questionnaire in comprehensive research at five of the world’s safest companies and five with very poor safety. The questionnaire polled 700 people in the ten companies, "measuring" the level of more than twenty key elements such as: The workers’ perception of the priority given to safety The belief that all injuries can be prevented The extent to which line management takes responsibility/accountability for safety How well safety rules are followed and enforced The frequency and quality of safety meetings The level of recognition to reinforce safety excellence In every element, the contrast between the responses from the very safe companies and those from the companies with poor safety was dramatic, clearly depicting where the former succeed and the latter fail By developing quantitative benchmark data, Stewart reasons that it will be easier to convince reluctant management to undertake the fundamental change necessary for a "step change" in their company performance. Managing for World Class Safety promises a revolutionary new approach to workplace safety improvement for corporate leaders, safety professionals, and regulators.

Schonberger revolutionized American manufacturing theory and, more important, practice. In that breakthrough book, he revealed that Japanese manufacturing excellence was not culturally bound. Offering the first demystified explanation of the simple techniques that fueled Japan's industrial success, he demonstrated how the same methods could be put to work as effectively in U.S. plants.

Book excerpt: This is an autobiographical treatise of an American citizen raised during a period our nation was placed on trial in the battle for the civil right of racial equality. This writing presents a candidly plain perspective of a desire and struggle for the divine right every human being is entitled to, to come to know the truth about where mankind came from and where it is going. The journey is one we all make through the space we are allowed to experience this physical realm. This work, however, presents a bold and provocative argument to support the fact that the reality of our existence as created and pro-created spirit beings is eternal. This writing chronicles the joy and sorrow from the heights and depths involved with human relationships. The author discloses his intimate and personal experience(s) with the Elohim (God) of creation before and after his spiritual rebirth/pentecost. The writer details of such experiences that would summon the response of a US president and later result with the writer being one of the first to quantify and articulate specific technological audit incentive oversights which catalyst the greed of financial gain as exposed in America's executive corporate culture, i.e. Enron, World Com and others before conception of the Sarbannes Oxley Act. The ultimate focus and culmination of this work is to praise and extol Yahweh-Elohim, our Heavenly Father, as he has visited his creatures and children one last time in the body of Henry Clifford Kinley. This work proclaims his eternal reward of a spiritual peace, joy and happiness that embodies the power to suffer opposition. The world as a whole, is ignorant of this Divine Philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With continuous improvement (kaizen) and Total Quality Control (TQC) becoming increasingly important to world class companies, there's an urgent need to build quality into every management decision. The tools presented in this book allow you to do just that. They represent the most important advance in quality deployment and project management in recent years. Unlike the seven traditional QC tools, which measure quality problems that already exist and are used by quality circles, these seven new QC tools make it possible for managers to plan wide-ranging and detailed TQC objectives throughout the entire organization. These tools, some borrowed from other disciplines and others developed specifically for quality management, include the relations diagram, the KJ method (affinity diagram), the systematic diagram, the matrix diagram, matrix data analysis, the process decision program chart (PDPC), and the arrow diagram. Together they will help you to: Expand the scope of quality efforts company-wide. Set up and manage the systems necessary to resolve major quality problems. Anticipate potential quality problems and actually eliminate defects before they happen. Never before available in English, Management for Quality Improvement is absolutely essential reading if you are in any area of project management, quality assurance, MIS, or TQC.
