Simulation Modelling for Business (Hardcover, New Ed): Andrew Greasley Simulation Modelling for Business (Hardcover, New Ed)
Andrew Greasley
R4,743 Discovery Miles 47 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Simulation Modelling has been used for many years in the manufacturing sector but has now become a mainstream tool in business situations. This is partly because of the popularity of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) and other process based improvement methods that use simulation to help analyse changes in process design. This text book includes case studies in both manufacturing and service situations to demonstrate the usefulness of the approach. A further reason for the increasing popularity of the technique is the development of business orientated and user-friendly windows-based software. This text provides a guide to the use of ARENA, SIMUL8 and WITNESS simulation software systems which are widely used in industry and available to students. Overall this text provides a practical guide to building and implementing the results from a simulation model. All the steps in a typical simulation study are covered including data collection, input data modelling and experimentation.

Manufacturing and Labour (Hardcover, New Ed): Michael G. Morony Manufacturing and Labour (Hardcover, New Ed)
Michael G. Morony
R5,512 Discovery Miles 55 120 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume, together with its companion volume Production and the Exploitation of Resources, examines the economic basis of the early Islamic world, looking at the organization of extractive and agricultural operations, manufacturing processes, and labour relations. This volume opens with studies of artisanal production that address the issues of specialization, the division of labour, and the proliferation of manufacturing occupations in early Islamic times, looking in particular at ceramic and textile production. The section on labour expands the enquiry to cover the legal and social status of manual labourers and questions of the organization and mobility of labour, wage labour, and labour partnerships. These studies deal with both the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, and also identify the role of slave labour in commerce, domestic service, agriculture and herding. Taken together, this body of work demonstrates a high degree of commercialization in the early Islamic economy, particularly in Iraq, Egypt and Ifriqiya.

Defining Drugs - How Government Became the Arbiter of Pharmaceutical Fact (Hardcover): Richard Henry Parrish II Defining Drugs - How Government Became the Arbiter of Pharmaceutical Fact (Hardcover)
Richard Henry Parrish II
R4,142 Discovery Miles 41 420 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Drug-related morbidity and mortality is rampant in contemporary industrial society, despite or perhaps because, government has assumed a critical role in the process by which drugs are developed and approved. Parrish asserts that, as a people, Americans need to understand how it is that government became the arbiter of pharmaceutical fact. The consequences of our failure to understand, he argues, may threaten individual choice and forestall the development of responsible therapeutics. Moreover, if current standards and control continues unabated, the next therapeutic reformation might well make possible the sanctioned commercial exploitation of patients. In "Defining Drugs," Parrish argues that the federal government became arbiter of pharmaceutical fact because the professions of pharmacy and medicine, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, could enforce these definitions and standards only through police powers reserved to government. Parrish begins his provocative study by examining the development of the social system for regulating drug therapy in the United States. He reviews the standards that were negotiated, and the tensions of the period between Progressivism and the New Deal that gave cultural context and historical meaning to drug use in American society. Parrish describes issues related to the development of narcotics policy through education and legislation facilitated by James Beal and Edward Kremers, and documents the federal government's evolving role as arbiter of market tensions between pharmaceutical producers, government officials, and private citizens in professional groups, illustrating the influence of government in writing enforceable standards for pharmaceutical therapies. He shows how the expansion of political rights for practitioners and producers has shifted responsibility for therapeutic consequences from individual practitioners and patients to government. This timely and controversial volume is written for the scholar and the compassionate practitioner alike, and a general public concerned with pharmacy regulation in a free society. Richard Henry Parrish II is assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy at Shenandoah University. "Defining Drugs documents the evolution of social thought and action about pharmaceuticals in the United States in the 20th century. Written from a free-market perspective, Richard Parrish demonstrates how industry, goverment, and profressional leaders used science to justify the expansion of goverment power over standards and people. The Politicized definition of pharmaceutical fact cemented the foundation of pharmacotherapy in the modern pharmacratic state. Parrish's thesis will affect the current debates on federal power concerning the proper role of pharmacists, physicians, prescription laws, and Medicare prescription benefits; dietary supplements and herbal remedies; and nanotechnologies and pharmacgenomics. Scholary in documentation and persuasive in tone, "Defining Drugs" is an indispensable contribution to our understanding of the debate about drugs and drug policy." --Dr. Thomas Szasz, State University of New York "Parrish provides an invaluable analysis of the transformation of pharmaceutical regulation over the past millennium."--Peter Barton Hutt, Esq., Covington and Burling ""Defining Drugs" is an essential key for the medical profession and any who would understand the drug industry's regulation processes." uThe Midwest Book Review

Is it possible for your restaurant or small business to not only survive, but to thrive and increase sales eight-fold during the worst economic crisis to hit the United States since the Great Depression?
Restaurant Lady Misty Young has a defiant YES to that question, based on her experience expanding her Squeeze In restaurant, locally famous in Reno/Tahoe for fantastic omelettes and its rapid expansion from one beloved location to several and counting.
Things didn't start out perfectly in Misty's "Rags to Restaurants" life - from a childhood of frequent moves, a period on government assistance, and a rough time balancing family life while earning her college degree. Clearly she has more than made up for it.
Misty chalks it up to her discovery of "The Five Irrefutable Laws of Restaurant Success," which she shares in this book.
Some of the most famous in the food and restaurant industry would happily agree that Misty has undoubtedly arrived, evidenced when the Food Network showed up one snowy December day, placing her talents and her omelettes on national television for a surprise episode of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay."
When the masses came calling asking Misty to share her secrets, this Western restaurant maven was prepared, knowing the detailed facts about her guests, associates, financials and operations down to the number of eggs cracked since day one. "You can't count what you don't measure, and vice-versa," Misty says. Misty's targeted Egghead Breakfast Club and her grasp of constantly changing social media helped spread the Squeeze story far and wide to prospective guests and media outlets.
Restaurant Lady Misty Young's experiences and rock solid approach can help you transform your restaurant into an outstanding stand-alone venue or allow it to become the base for a profitable and expanding regional chain.
Crack open From Rags to Restaurants and whip up some success
