...manifests into behaviour. This model can then be analyzed to eliminate any problems faced by the individual. We can also model the positive or successful aspects of our behavior or those of another person, and reproduce that model and apply on our negative aspects in order to change or improve them. HISTORY: NLP originated when Richard Bandler, a student at University of California, Santa Cruz, was listening to and selecting portions of taped therapy sessions of the late Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls as a project for Robert Spitzer.[18][19] Bandler believed he recognized particular word and sentence structures which facilitated the acceptance of Perls' therapeutic suggestions. Bandler took this idea to one of his university lecturers, John Grinder, a linguist. Together they studied Perls' via tape and observed a second therapist Virginia Satir to produce what they termed the meta model, a model for gathering information and challenging a client's language and underlying thinking.[20] The meta model was presented in 1975 in two volumes, The Structure of Magic I: A Book About Language and Therapy and The Structure of Magic II: A Book About Communication and Change, in which the authors expressed their belief that the therapeutic "magic" as performed in therapy by Perls and Satir, and by performers in any complex human activity, had structure that could be learned by others given the appropriate models. They believed that...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: I propose that our firm should buy 1 CNC grinding machine in order to improve performance of the existing line because face grinding is our bottle neck Which is increasing the MLT of the process. By buying CNC, we can reduce the number of products going to rework and failing the inspection process as seen by the analysis given below. We should employ this strategy immediately because we have only 6 months and the machine needs at least 6 months to work at full capacity. We should not accept orders below 70 as it increases MLT and disturbs our process. We should increase or batch size to 140 to increase output. KEY ISSUES: Problems the plant is facing is that lot of time is spent on customer complaints and managing the growing amount of rework for products that failed the design specifications hence further increasing the MLT of the process. There is lot of rework and process is slow because customers generally prefer to receive complete orders. The plant is getting orders ranging from 1 to 140 units. Small order are increasing the MLT because of high setup time. For the small orders less than 70, the bottle neck is Milling in the chamber machining operations but for orders greater than 70 the bottle neck is face grinding as shown in exhibit 1. Chamber machining and grinding problems could not be detected until the sensor is built and tested. So we have to go through the whole process. The grinding process is our bottle neck which is reducing...

...versatile and mandatory process in manufacturing. Examining the different methods and materials reveals the uniqueness of the assembly process and how it can literally be applied to any product, method, or material in manufacturing. This will also high light the importance of the advancement of the assembly process both past and present. Studying the industrial revolution provides key elements in how the manufacturing industry has become what it is today. From the invention of the flying shuttle to the innovation behind the assembly line, it can be determined that the development of assembly process machinery and technology is the key to the advancement of our economy and country as a whole. These minor ripples in the pool of industry ended up causing tsunamis and forever changing the landscape of the country as we know it. Looking back at the technological advancements of the industrial revolution it becomes clear that we are on the verge of yet another revolution in industry. The introduction of auto-CAD and the 3-D printer have already started the next wave in what is sure to become a tsunami in the industrial manufacturing industry. Looking over the list of all the different processes and sub-processes there was an initial reaction that was less than positive. Scouring over the list trying to find merit in one of these processes was like trying to pick the pair of rusty pliers to have teeth pulled with. Thinking on the subject over the course of a few days...

...Nike Dilemma: Still waiting for them to "do it"! Another corporate giant having its fare share of controversies over the years is Nike. Nike employs approximately 26,000 people worldwide. In addition, approximately 650,000 workers are employed in Nike contracted factories around the globe. More than 75% of these work in Asia, predominantly in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea and Malaysia (Nike 2006). In 1998 Nike came under fire for the sweatshop conditions of the workers in the Nike factories in China and other third world countries. The evidence showed that the workers were regularly subject to physical punishment and sexual abuse and exposed to dangerous chemicals. (Nike Accused of Lying About Asian Factories 1998). Sub standard working facilities, bare minimum wages and risks to health of labourers mark NIKE factories in Asia. The firm was also accused of practicing child labour in Pakistan. So the question now is, why did it happen, and more importantly, has anything been done since to correct it. So why did it happen? Well that is quite clear. The reason why most firms outsource their activities to lesser developed countries is to exploit cheaper labour and production costs. Nike has a brand reputation worldwide, and in-fact is a market leader in the sales of athletic shoes. The constant focus is to formulate ways and strategies to reduce production costs, and one way of that is fewer wages to the workers. The high unemployment levels in the third world countries...

...Nike Corporation is one of the largest marketers of athletic apparel and sportswear equipment in the world and was founded in Beaverton, Oregon, in 1964 by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman. According to Nike.com (2009) it had record earnings of 19.2 billion dollars and continues to grow at a steady pace. Nike sold its products in a 140 countries and successfully discovered that manufacturing its products was not the only method to successfully produce the results it was looking for but instead marketing and designing its products and contracting the manufacturing out to global factories 600 throughout the country. With the company’s success come painful lessons learned along the way. This paper will describe the legal, cultural, and ethical challenges that Nike Corporation faced as a result of its global business ventures. In addition, it will touch on the roles the host governments played in manufacturing Nike’s products and will summarize the strategic and operational challenges that Nike Managers face in dealing with the interworking of global business. Nike as well as other global companies in the industry has the option to manufacture their products domestically or internationally in either situation there are challenges. If a company chose to the domestic approach it could potentially be more expensive, however, the organization and its manufacturing facility contractors would have to adhere to U.S. labor and safety laws in the areas of wages, code of conduct, working...

...The Industrial Revolution – the Factory Worker vs. the Plantation Worker: A Discussion of the Labor Conditions The Industrial Revolution was a period of great change in Europe and North America – a period where progress in agriculture, technology, transportation and more allowed the development of human civilization from the previous primarily agricultural based societies. This time period between the 18th to 19th century saw many developments such as canals, roads, steam power, combustion engine, as well as significant strides in manufacturing and factory work. Immense changes occurred in society: affecting daily life and causing significant societal impacts. The objective of this paper is to discuss the significant social effects that the Industrial Revolution (and industrialization, in general) – focusing on the working conditions and dynamic of plantations and factories. In this time period, it is evident that the employer, business owner, and middle class factory owner would benefit from the lower class, general laborer who would be unfairly compensated and be subject to poor conditions, creating a significant gap between the upper/middle and lower classes. The period of the Industrial Revolution was not only a driving force in technology, but economics and society. Industrialization brought a new form of wealth and riches to the people who were able to capitalize on it; this largely being the middle class, and to a smaller extent, the upper class. New opportunities...

...Shaping of the Modern World 5/8/11 Cruel Labor The Industrial Revolution wasn’t the first instance of cruel human labor in the history of the world, but some may argue that it was the harshest. Flora Tristan says in her piece from the London Journal, “Since I have known the English proletariat I no longer think that slavery is the greatest human misfortune.” (1) Cruel labor is an injustice that originated in ancient civilizations, became worse in the eighteenth century, and unfortunately still exists today. No matter what event you choose to focus on, between the Atlantic Slave Trade, to the London Laboring Classes and its child labor, to the more recent sweatshops that still exist in Asia, the pain and suffering these people had to go through and are still going through is not only inhumane, but also immoral. “The London Laboring Classes” is an excerpt from the London Journal by Flora Tristan. The article is broken down into two parts: Factory Workers and Prostitutes. Tristan wrote this article in order to expose the cruelties suffered by industrial workers, women, and slaves, during the Industrial Revolution. It would be an injustice to Tristan if I paraphrase her shocking description of the life of the factory worker, so I’ll quote her directly. “Most of the workers lack clothing, a bed, furniture, a fire, wholesome food, and often even potatoes! They are shut up twelve to fourteen hours a day in mean rooms where they breathe in, along with foul air, cotton, wool...

...During the 1800s the Industrial Revolution spread throughout Britain. The use of steam-powered machines, led to a massive increase in the number of factories (particularly in textile factories or mills). Many factory workers were children. They worked long hours and were often treated badly by the supervisors or overseers. Sometimes the children started work as young as four or five years old. A young child could not earn much, but even a few pence would be enough to buy food. lasted from the 18th century to the 19th century As the number of factories grew people from the countryside began to move into the towns looking for better paid work. The wages of a farm worker were very low and there were less jobs working on farms because of the invention and use of new machines such as threshers. Also thousands of new workers were needed to work machines in mills and foundries and the factory owners built houses for them.Cities filled to overflowing and London was particularly bad. At the start of the 19th Century about 1/5 of Britain’s population lived there, but by 1851 half the population of the country had set up home in London. London, like most cities, was not prepared for this great increase in people. People crowded into already crowded houses. Rooms were rented to whole families or perhaps several families. The Industrial Revolution affected many people, some of these people were affect in a positive way and some in a negative way. The new industry needed a lot of working...

...duration of one's life; the hours and days which a person has at his disposal. How we dispose of that time is time management. It's the way we spend our time to organize and execute around our priorities. Remember just because time is intangible doesn't mean that it is not valuable. I want to teach you about the background of time management, the different styles and how to use them, and how it will change your life. Background Time management today is not as it was in the past. It has grown with time. Stephen R. Covey places time management into four generations. He feels it has evolved the same way society has. Each generation grows on the one before it. For example, the agriculture revolution was followed by the industrial revolution, which was then followed by the informational revolution. The first wave or generation is basically notes and checklist. Which really only identifies the demands placed on our time and energy. Calendars and appointment books characterize the second generation. This reflects an attempt to look ahead. The third generation is current time management field. It's the last two generations with the ideas of prioritization, clarifying values, and comparing the worth of...

...Running head: Trade Secrets Name Course Tutor Date Introduction Economic espionage occurs when an individual knowingly shares sensitive information that may lead to financial loss or loss of a comparative advantage of the owner. Trade secrets are a form of information, formula, procedures, techniques, or prototypes that the owner has taken reasonable efforts to protect. Trade secrets have an independent economic value regardless the form they are. Economic espionage is commercially motivated. A company, individual, or government uses illegal tactics to gain commercially valuable information about a competitor. Most economic espionage involves an employee in a company bribed by a competitor to share sensitive information. The increased use of the computer and the Internet makes computer hacking another common economic espionage. In extreme cases, a competitor may hire a gang to break into the rivals premises to steal or destroy information. Trade secrets There are many methods used to gather information about rivals. Some of the methods are legal, whereas others are not. A rival may use information available in the newspaper, company reports, patent applications, and the Internet to collect intelligence regarding the activities and plans of a company. The use of unethical methods to achieve competitive advantage is on the increase. Since 1985, economic espionage on American companies has increased by 260%. In most of the cases, the aim of the espionage is to...
