Patients have expressed dissatisfaction with the amount of time needed to complete the entire x-ray process. The process improvement team has identified several different tactics that can be pursued in order to improve the patient satisfaction. This proposal discusses several viable alternatives. X-Ray Department Current Operation Current system is not patient compatible in terms of time spent in the process. Current system is not patient compatible in terms of time spent in the process. The main concern with the current operation is the amount of time needed for each patient to complete the entire x-ray process. This process is defined as when the patient leaves his physician’s offices to go to the x-ray center. The process is complete when the patient leaves the x-ray center and the physician receives the developed x-rays via courier service.

...Sample Master Test Plan TEST PLAN IDENTIFIERRS-MTP01.3 REFERENCES None Identified. INTRODUCTION This is the Master Test Plan for the Reassigned Sales Re-write project. This plan will address only those items and elements that are related to the Reassigned Sales process, both directly and indirectly affected elements will be addressed. The primary focus of this plan is to ensure that the new Reassigned Sales application provides the same level of information and detail as the current system while allowing for improvements and increases in data acquisition and level of details available (granularity). The project will have three levels of testing, Unit, System/Integration and Acceptance. The details for each level are addressed in the approach section and will be further defined in the level specific plans. The estimated time line for this project is very aggressive (six (6) months), as such, any delays in the development process or in the installation and verification of the third party software could have significant effects on the test plan. The acceptance testing is expected to take one (1) month from the date of application delivery from system test and is to be done in parallel with the current application process. TEST ITEMS The following is a list, by version and release, of the items to be tested: A. EXTOL EDI package, Version 3.0 If a new release is available prior to roll-out it will not be used until after installation. It will be a separate upgrade/update...

Labour productivity is found to increase with the capital labour ratio, the proportion of part-time hours, the share of immigrant workers and by the proportion of the most experienced workers. The second chapter decomposes the total factor productivity growth for the Canadian tourism/hospitality industries with dynamic factor demand models which is estimated with nonlinear Full Information Maximum Likelihood (non-linear FIML) estimator. The results show that only a few Canadian tourism/hospitality industries experienced positive total factor productivity growth and had a major gain from technological change during the period 1983-2003. The final chapter is to examine the impact of technology use (ICT), training and labour turnover on labour productivity in the Canadian...

...Dynamic Model for COTS Glue Code Development and COTS Integration Wook K. Kim and Jongmoon Baik Department of Computer Science University of Southern California {wookkyuk,jobaik}@usc.edu 1. Introduction 1.1 Problem Statement and Description One of the most significant changes in the software development area is the trend of building systems incorporating pre-existing software, with special emphasis upon the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software components. COTS describes software commercially available as stand-alone products and which offer specific functionality needed by a larger system into which they might be incorporated. The purpose of using COTS is to lower overall development costs with involving less development time by taking advantage of existing, market-proven, and vendor supported products. But we have no control over the functionality, performance, and evolution of COTS products since their Black-Box nature. Besides, most COTS products are not designed to interoperate with each other and most COTS vendors do not support glue code (sometimes called glueware and binding code). So, most software development teams that use COTS components have difficulties in estimating effort and schedule for COTS glue code development and integration of them into application systems. Without the glue code, the components would be un-integratable and COTS-based systems can be difficult to comprehend, less evolvable than intended, and less reliable ...
