...phone will be called the iPhone 5S As with the iPhone 5C, mobile phone operator leaks have indicated that Apple is maintaining its current iPhone naming scheme, sticking with the solitary number and variations to denote upgraded iPhone models. Given that the alternative iPhone is highly likely to be called the iPhone 5C, the 5S moniker could be another differentiator for Apple's next flagship phone. The iPhone 5S will be available in more colours Ever since the iPhone 3G launched, in 2008, Apple has offered its smartphones in two colours, black and white. Recent part leaks from Apple's manufacturing partners in China have indicated that Apple will launch the iPhone 5S in more colours including a gold, or "champagne", model, which could make sense in terms of Apple's attempt to secure market share in Asia. Apple will upgrade the camera in the iPhone 5S It is highly probable, given the competition from the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4, with its 13-megapixel camera, that Apple will improve the current 8MP camera from the iPhone 5 to at least 13 megapixels. The iPhone 5S will have almost exactly the same design as the iPhone 5 Apple has a history of redesigning the look of its flagship phone only every other generation, improving the specifications and inner components without altering the case design on the outside significantly. Both part leaks and previous actions suggest that Apple will stay true to form and release the iPhone 5S with improved insides while...

...Capitulo 0 Breve Introducción a Lean Seis Sigma 1 ¿Qué es Lean Seis Sigma Lean Six Sigma es una Metodología que Maximiza el valor de la empresa logrando una rapidez en la mejora de la satisfacción del cliente, el costo la calidad, la velocidad de los procesos y la inversión de capital. La fusión de Lean y Seis Sigma es necesaria porque: Lean no puede poner un proceso bajo control estadístico. Seis Sigma por si solo no puede mejorar de manera dramática la velocidad del proceso ó reducir la inversión de capital. 2 La Rapidez de Lean Seis Sigma Lean Seis Sigma entrega resultados mas rápido que Lean ó Seis Sigma por si solos. “Es difícil ser agresivo cuando no sabes a que pegarle”. (Vince Lombardi) A que pegarle significa ¿Qué mejoras especificas deben ser ejecutadas y en que orden? Esta pregunta no puede ser entendida ó contestada por aquellos enfocados de manera separada en Lean ó en Seis Sigma. 3 El Principio de Lean Seis Sigma Las actividades que causan los problemas en los CTQ’s (Critical to Quality) de los clientes y crean los tiempos de retraso mas largos en cualquier proceso ofrecen la mayor oportunidad de mejora en costo, calidad, capital y Lead Time. 4 Lean Seis Sigma Lean significa velocidad; esta se aplica a todos los procesos. Los procesos lentos son procesos caros. El métrico de lean es la eficiencia del ciclo de proceso. Los tamaños de lote deben calcularse utilizando variables de flujo. 95% de los Lead...

...Las 5S fue un programa desarrollado por Toyota para conseguir mejoras duraderas en el nivel de organización, orden y limpieza; además de aumentar la motivación del personal. Las 5S son una de las partes fundamentales, y uno de los primeros pasos a dar, en la implementación de un sistema de Mantenimiento Productivo Integral.

Su desarrollar un ambiente de trabajo agradable y eficiente, en un clima de seguridad, orden, limpieza y constancia que permita el correcto desempeño de las operaciones diarias, logrando así los estándares de calidad de los servicios requeridos por la ciudadanía.

Publicado en: Recorrer juntos el Gemba… Mura, muri, muda son tres palabras japonesas que forman parte de su filosofía de mejora continua, Kaizen, elemento clave del Sistema de Producción Toyota y del llamado en occidente “pensamiento esbelto” o Lean Thinking. Mura, muri, muda, a las que yo suelo llamarles las 3 Mu, van siempre juntas y se enfocan en identificar y eliminar todo tipo de desperdicios, lo que producirá, en el largo plazo, cambios organizacionales y en las prácticas de trabajo y procesos de diseño, desarrollo y manufactura de bienes o servicios hacia una mayor agilidad y eficiencia, sin errores ni defectos, capaces de responder a los requerimientos y expectativas del cliente. ¿Cuál es su significado?

...Let us just, arguendo, accept his point about Apple no longer being innovative. Let us also gloss over the obvious typo about Apple handing out the $100 billion cash pile as well, it’s no where near that amount being returned to investors. So, what is it that we actually want a non-innovative but highly profitable company to be doing with the rivers of cash that it is generating? Why, we want it to be handing that money back to shareholders. Who can then reinvest it or spend it as they please. And we are entirely happy with the money flowing out of that no longer innovative company because we know, as economists or those interested in economics, that almost all innovation in the economy comes from new firms entering the market. For that is the truth of it: Apple’s run of innovation under Jobs is the oddity in the economy. Almost always innovation, new products, new ways of doing things, new methods of organisation, that variety of things that leads to economic growth and the creation of jobs, comes from the creation of new firms and the extinction by their replacement of the old firms. So, if a company is making good profits but has no new great ideas we’d actually prefer them to be paying out dividends. Buying back stock: getting that money into the hands of investors who might then invest in new start ups. We can go further too: if those executives at Apple knew which were the new start ups were that were worth investing in, knew which new technologies or market areas...

...22, 2013 IT News Report Assignment 1 Article Summary The article, “The iPhone 5s fingerprint reader: what you need to know”, explains how the fingerprint sensor works to its readers. For the first time, Apple has introduced a new technology called the “Touch ID” in its iPhone 5s. Basically, this feature enhances the security for the phone’s owner, where they no longer have to solely rely on entering a passcode to access their phone. The new iPhone 5s makes use of a capacitance fingerprint reader, which measures and senses the user’s fingerprint and further forms an image. This sensor has been placed in the “home” button of the phone. Eventually, the iPhone does not store the user’s fingerprint but instead runs a scan every time a finger is placed on the sensor. The emergence of this new technology does not mean that passcodes will no longer be used. Passcode is a must! If the sensor breaks or something happens to your finger, you need a way to get back into your phone. Other Apple services, such as iCloud or iTunes, will still require passwords, as fingerprint readers cannot always be used for them. However, purchases can be made using the Touch ID. According to Apple, this new technology will prove to be exciting to its users. A simple four-digit passcode will no longer always need to be used to get into your phone. Touch ID along with the use of a passcode will prove to be more secure for the iPhone user. Analysis Day by day, new advancements in technology are proving to...

...competitor in the market, the iPhone s5 and our recommendations on how to successfully compete and maximize profit in the smart phone market. History of Apple Apple Computers was founded in April 1976 by Steven Jobs and Steven Wozniak. The company built computers and operating systems that were revolutionary for the industry. The company has had some competition, and therefore has had some ups and downs financially. Top management in the company has changed over the years and the company had difficulty competing with other computer companies. However, in the late 90s and early 00s the company had an increase in profits because of innovative products. In 2001, the company introduced the iPod. This little device was just a small music player. It played and stored music files that the customer could download on the Internet. Apple Inc. dropped the “computer” out of its name in 2007; the same year it introduced the iPhone (Sanford, 2013). The first phone made by the company was a success. In the following years the company continued to improve its product; introducing the iPhone 3g, iPhone 3gs, then the iPhone4, iPhone4s, and now the iPhone5, iPhone5s, and the iPhone5c. The iPhone 5 has a new ios7 operating system, and 64 bit architecture. The 64 bit architecture has never been put into a phone before so this is a very innovative step in the smart phone market (Worstall, 2013).
