...Quality Function Deployment of Custom Orientation Stabilization Integrated Systems September 23, 2012 Scott Jaster ENM5100 Quality Engineering Florida Institute of Technology ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to present a description of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) process with respect to the development of an alternative means of multi-axis orientation stabilization. The intention is to discuss the quality control process of choosing the "best" components for the system, and meeting customer requirements before, during, and after product delivery. There will be an exploration of the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) process that pertains to the systems integration design, manufacture, and delivery process, from the user’s ultimate perspective. The interactions of the various components must be defined by the desired specifications, modeled, and analyzed to produce the optimal setup that meets the respective performance requirements of the user, while following along with the QFD process strategy. The focus will be on the House Of Quality (HOQ), described within. A related discussion will be the determination of the viability and functionality of designing a system capable of efficiently counteracting axial orientation wobbling; but this is the byproduct of the properly employed functional Quality process. Ultimately, the discussed Quality process allows the user to efficiently and subjectively determine the best engineering trade-offs related...

...Unit 9 Exercise 1 Research Software Deployment Options To: Business Manager From: IT Consultant Manually gathering all files needed for distribution is a tedious job, but provides the developer full user control over what files are deployed to the target computer. One of the most common problems developers experience when deploying test software is missing or incorrect versions of file dependencies. A file dependency is a secondary file that a file requires to compile, load, or run correctly. Normally dependencies come in the form of DLLs, .NET assemblies or subVIs. It is extremely important that you identify exactly what dependencies your test software requires, as well as their versions. This can be challenging and in many cases one might need a third-party product to determine the explicit dependencies of a file. Since it’s extremely easy to forget to include various dependencies in the deployment image, a tool that packages all relative files together for easy distribution would be nice. The NI TestStand Deployment Utility greatly simplifies this process by using workspaces and project files to collect all of the files required to successfully distribute your test software to a target computer. The NI TestStand Deployment Utility is tightly integrated with LabVIEW facilitating the deployment of the VIs that make up your test system. One of LabVIEW’s biggest benefits is that it is inherently modular. Although LabVIEW applications can be compiled into monolithic executables...

...The 4 Primary Cloud Deployment Models - Recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) * Cloud used for capital expenditure and control operating costs, and business cloud adoption * Can come from security risks and challenges and possibly costly for IT Management The Private Cloud - tremendous value in terms of security * hosting is built and maintained for a specific client * infrastructure required for hosting can be on-premises or at a third-party location * Security from using a secure-access VPN / physical location within the client’s firewall system * considering downtime, internet availability, quality and performance of mission-critical applications is necessary hence, hosting the application with an on-premises private cloud is the suggested approach * Interoperability: Data and applications that have to conform to various regulations/standards/countries * No cost benefit; comparable to buying, building and managing your own infrastructure. The Public Cloud * true cloud hosting * services and infrastructure are provided to various clients * provided by a vendor free of charge or on the basis of a pay-per-user license policy * reduces capital expenditure * reduces operational IT costs * can manage load spikes * host SaaS applications * can utilize interim infrastructure for developing and testing applications * manages applications...

...Affects of Multiple Deployments on Military Service Members and Families during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF): Time Period 2001-2012 Gina Pagano-Briglin, MSW University of the Incarnate Word 3 December 2012 I. Introduction Since September 11, 2001, there have been significant changes in the security measures of air travel, financial security, but one of the most significant changes is that of military operations. The United States began combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks officially referred to as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Since October 2001, about 1.9 million service members have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq (Asbury & Martin, 2011). OEF/OIF has many unique features with regard to the military forces being sent to fight oversees. The all-volunteer military has experienced multiple deployments to the combat areas, with an increased use of the National Guard and Reserve Components, higher numbers of deployed women and parents of young children, and increases in the number of service members surviving severe injuries and other side effects from combat (Shaw & Hector, 2010). Service members may be subjected to more than one deployment. Studies show that overall about 40% of current military service members have been deployed more than once, with over one quarter serving...

...Women Veterans: The Effects of Combat Deployment Patricia Rochedieu Liberty University Introduction to Human Services HSCO 500 Mrs. Jennifer Griffin November 17, 2014 Abstract The relocation and adjustment processes occurring within persons facing involuntary deployment are most certainly filled with anxiety and uncertainly. This discussion will focus on women veterans who have served on the front lines and the affects of combat deployment. Examinations defining the trials and tribulations faced by the female military member will place attention on the psychological and psychosocial transactions that occur during military operations and the challenges women face. Expansion of this topic will include a dialogue that offers insight into the growing concerns shaping the outcomes of the female member’s deployment to include military sexual trauma, eating disorders, depression, substance abuse, adjustment disorders, sleep disturbances and spiritual and existential struggles. Although this topic will only provide a brief glimpse into the female veteran’s plight it opens up a forum for further discussions within this topic with the intentions of highlighting the effects of combat deployment on women veterans who served on the front lines. Women Veterans: The Effects of Combat Deployment The participation of women deployed to combat areas throughout the world is vital to the successful outcomes of any mission. Women in the military are well trained and possess specific...

...Deployment Homework Write a 200 word (minimum) Essay explaining the Force Protection process using correct grammar and cite all references. Points of discussion must include: Why was Force Protection created? How does it affect Soldiers at every level? What are the pros and cons of this practice (give examples)? Make sure to cite your resources. Force Protection was created to mitigate and prevent hostile actions against DOD personnel and their families, resources, facilities, and critical information from threats such as terrorists, any other types of extremists’ cults not dismiss disgruntled former employees. Before it was called force protection the expression used to prevent terrorist attacks was “Anti-terrorism.” Not until after the Khobar Towers bombing did the term “Force Protection” exist. Currently force protection dictates how missions are performed and how military personnel conduct themselves on and off duty. The Force Protection Process is based on security measures set by the commander considering specific threat information or guidance from higher headquarters. There is a graded series of conditions to specify the threat level. Part of the Force Protection Process is feedback based process. Soldiers at every level whether in combat or working their civilian job need to be observant in seeing, hearing, smelling. Anything out of the usual should be reported to the proper authority. Force Protection Conditions (FCONS) including NORMAL – no current terrorist...

...I. Introduction A. Preparing for a military deployment can be hectic and stressful. A prolonged separation from friends and family isn't easy to handle. On top of the emotional concerns a service member must contend with, are the soldier’s financial needs. While deployed, military personnel are still responsible for financial commitments back home. This can include everything from rental or mortgage payments to credit card debt to utilities. If the service member doesn't plan for these commitments, he or she could accrue significant debt while away from home. B. service members suffer through post-deployment financial hardship due to poor pre-deployment financial planning and preparation. C. In this speech I’m going to: 1. Identify the problem 2. Point out the cause 3. Discuss the solution II. Body of speech A. Soldiers comes home from a deployment only to find themselves in significant debt that has accumulated while they were away. 1. In the United States, the government provides limited financial protection to members of the military who are on active duty. But in many cases, service members need to be aware of these protections to take advantage of them. Whether you have a wide network of friends and family members to help you maintain your finances while you're gone or even if you just have a few trusted people close to you, you need to put some thought into your finances before leaving. 2. Most of the young soldiers put their trust...

...OCM 1.6 - Deployment of an EC Site By Anusha Avutapalli Deployment may refer to: •Deployment flowchart, a process mapping tool used to articulate the steps and stakeholders of a given process . •System deployment, transforming a mechanical, electrical, or computer system from a packaged form to an operational state. •Software deployment, all of the activities that make a software system available for use. Deployment flowchart A deployment flowchart (sometimes referred to as a "cross functional flowchart") is a business process mapping tool used to articulate the steps and stakeholders of a given process. "Deployment flowcharts consist of a sequence of activity steps and also the interactions between individuals or groups." Each participant in the process is displayed on the map (which is constructed as a matrix) - tasks/activity are then articulated in sequence under the column corresponding to that stakeholder. As deployment flowcharts highlight the relationships between stakeholders in addition to the process flow they are especially useful in highlighting areas of inefficiency, duplication or unnecessary processing. Often utilized within Six sigma activity, completed flowcharts are commonly used to examine the interfaces between “participants” which are typically causes for delays and other associated issues. Deployment flowcharts are useful for determining who within an organization is required to implement a process and...

...improper software technique and you could add unnecessary time to the deployment and development vitality of the implemented software. By additional time to the software life course will exponentially add to your costs and most likely halt you from achieving the development within a timely manner. I recognize not all project management is allowed to choose the software lifecycle that will be implemented on all developments. Businesses possibly invested primarily in the software and advancements utilized to deploy their software. In this paper, a contradictory view of SDLC process is describe, it is based on development, distinguishing classifications and then characteristics are revealed. In the very early stages of computing, software development was produced by many individuals, each having their own protocols to follow. Majority of the time, the deployment process was a form of “programing language then repair”, Such the technical writer conducts a form of commands and then probes it to get results. Software expanded exponentially more difficult and meticulously rested on computers for most of their computing, including expenses and labor, this attributed to a more formal way of programming. The main basis in software is understood, constructed, perpetuated and is professionally acronym labeled as Software Development / Life Cycle (SDLC). Software development selection is a strategy by which software deployment techniques are efficiently selected and dependent on qualifications...

...more secure architecture overall. An evaluation of your current processes will determine how to proceed in your security practices. This includes identifying how closely your company adheres to these best practices: Awareness & Training, Assessment & Audit, Development & Quality Assurance, Compliance, Vulnerability response, Metrics & Accountability, and Operational security. To determine how to implement the Security Software Development Life Cycle, there are roughly (depending on scope) 6 phases: Requirements Gathering, Design, Coding, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance & Retirement. Requirements includes setting up security requirements, phase gates, and risk assessments. Design includes security considerations for design requirements, architecture & design reviews, and threat modeling. Coding includes static analysis performance and coding best practices. Testing includes fuzzing and vulnerability assessments. Deployment includes server and network configuration reviews. And maintenance & retirement includes changes, enhancements, and sunsetting of software. #2 Best practices In order to meet the demands of a challenging development environment, there are a number of best practices that will help you maintain an edge in the software market. The first is brand protection. Security breaches will most certainly instill uneasiness amongst a customer base. A high level of environment recognition and client reassurances will be necessary to protect brand loyalty. Secondly...

...Everyone has their own version of a good and bad trip. It’s always either you had a good trip or a bad trip, but never both. If you ever experience both, you have a bittersweet taste, kind of like that sweet and sour candy some of us used to eat as a kid that would make your mouth pucker uncontrollably. On this adventure, I had the pleasure of experiencing the good and bad, the fun and boredom, the gain of comrades and the loss of a friend. Dating all the way back to March of 2008, my unit was preparing to hop on our one way ticket to the sand infested countries of the Middle East. Everyone began making their final calls before we got the command to move out. I was alone at the time. Single and all my family immediate family being in the States, and no way of reaching out to them, I was left to wonder, worry, and drive myself practically insane. “You’re gonna be fine,” I kept telling myself all the way to Kuwait. Fast forward to a couple months later, because Kuwait was uneventful and boring as ever, except for the fact that is was hotter than a ghost pepper there. The flight to Iraq was by far the worse that I have ever experienced in my (at the time) 19 years of being alive. For those who know nothing about combat landing, this is where the pilot circles and drops altitude simultaneously to avoid any type of attack, such as small arms fire, rocket propelled grenades (RPGs), or anything that can cause damage to the plane or the personnel on the flight. When they initiated this...

...Running head: Wireless Deployment Plan Term Paper: Wireless Deployment Plan Dr. Edwin Otto CIS 513 – Wireless Computing September 7, 2014 Wireless Deployment Plan For successfully deploying a wireless network plan, there are specific steps that would need to be taken to ensure proper deployment and for all aspects to be covered. It is necessary first to have a site survey completed, which would give the insight into which is the best and the worst places on campus to have the wireless connections. Once this has been completed, a thorough site survey would give ideal locations for the access points for your WLAN, bit rates and error rates in different locations. The performance of the applications on the WLAN and the number of access points that would be needed for deployment. This is necessary to be able to allow access to those who need access throughout the campus but also to assess security concerns and to keep the network secure. Proper deployment steps would help to alleviate the myriads of issues that commonly come up with the implementation of new or upgraded networks. A further aspect of the deployment process would be the consideration of how many users would likely use the network at any given time. This consideration would be part of the planning process to enable the ability to deliver the highest quality WLAN experience. The scope of the work would be specifically...

...Business Intelligence deployment Business intelligence has been widely adapted tool in analyzing the data that helps in decision making adding value to the business. Most of the data in BI has been driven by IT with most of the focus has been captured in the designing of the system as per the technical preconditions making sure that the benefits such as information sharing ,agility , flexibility , information sharing , collaboration and flexibility are maintained. The key challenge in using the BI is to add business value in my view, lies in the way the information and analytical frameworks used within the organisations with incremental usage of ad hoc reports. The actual value of the business rests on something beyond technical implementation i.e, strategic alignment of data to improve management or operational process of the business. There are subsequent failures observed in organisations in improvement on these aspects though company implements Business intelligence predicting to drive high margins with low costs. According to me one main attribute of enabling the human intelligence and the organisational intelligence is the Initiation of a plan for the way BI application would be used with available human community to any organisation before implementation starts. The steps that achieve the point of mention can be implemented by below steps. 1. IT vendor who starts implementing the business has to understand the organisations strategic drivers of the competition and...
