Introduction The subject of performance measurement is encountering increasing interest in both the academic and managerial worlds. This‚ for the most part‚ is due to the broadening spectrum of performances required by the present-day competitive environment and the new production paradigm known as Lean Production or World Class Manufacturing (Hall et al.‚ 1991). In addition there is the need to support and verify the performance improvement programmes such as Just-in-Time‚ Total Quality Management

FLOW MEASUREMENT (Venturi meter‚ Orifice Plate and Rotameter) OBJECTIVES To study the characteristics and applications of various flow measuring device (venturi meter & orifice plate). To calculate the volume flow rate of water from the pressure difference of both venturi and orifice devices. To compare between theoretical and actual volumetric flow rate through the discharge coefficient concept. To know how rotameter works. INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is important in applications

real GDP per capita adjusted for the local cost of living (purchasing power parity‚ or PPP). How to Combine Indicators The breakthrough for HDI was to find a "measuring rod" for socio-economic achievement recorded in different units. The HDI sets aminimum and a maximum for each dimension and then shows where each country (or region) stands in relation to these scales - expressed a a value between 0 and 1. The scores for the three dimensions are the averaged in an overall index. Overall averages

Performance Measurement Systems Performance measurement systems are an integral part of the management control systems. Management control is a process through which management ensures that resources are obtained and used effectively and efficiently in accomplishing the organization’s goals. To be most effective performance measures should be tied to the strategic objectives of the organization. Two key principles of performance measurements are; measurement of performance and compensation based

1 Three Waves of Variation Study: The emergence of meaning in the study of variation Penelope Eckert Stanford University Abstract The treatment of social meaning in variation has come in three waves of analytic practice. The first wave of variation studies established broad correlations between linguistic variables and the macro-sociological categories of socioeconomic class‚ sex class‚ ethnicity and age. The second wave employed ethnographic methods to explore the local categories and configurations

a set is a collection of distinct objects‚ considered as an object in its own right. For example‚ the numbers 2‚ 4‚ and 6 are distinct objects when considered separately‚ but when they are considered collectively they form a single set of size three‚ written {2‚4‚6}. an element‚ or member‚ of a set is any one of the distinct objects that make up that set A number‚ letter‚ point‚ line‚ or any other object contained in a set. There are two ways of describing‚ or specifying the members
