Current state The current state is how it is today. When using lean tools like the A3, process maps, value stream mapping, or a kaizen blitz, the facilitator may guide the team to a full understanding of the current process by having them complete a current state map.

One of the important limitations of these methods, in their current state of development, is the necessity to conduct a new coarse-graining for each new type of polymer that is simulated. Major opportunities to increase the utility of this class of simulations lie in the development of methods, which make the mapping to the coarse-grained structure (and the reverse-mapping back to the structure expressed in fully atomistic detail) as general (and painless) as possible when new polymers are treated. This area is the subject of continuing work by all four groups. 

Williams et al. (2002) have reviewed the current state of AEM X-ray microanalysis, and they suggest ways in which the highest resolution of X-ray mapping may be achieved in the STEM with an EDS spectrometer. Because of their small collection angles and thin specimens, very small numbers of X-ray counts are generated, so the minimum detection limit is typically at best 0.1 wt%. This value is an order of magnitude worse than the 0.01 wt% figure for bulk-specimen in an SEM/EPMA.

One of the most significant applications of STM to electrochemistry would involve the application of the full spectroscopic and imaging powers of the STM for electrode surfaces in contact with electrolytes. Such operation should enable the electrochemist to access, for the first time, a host of analytical techniques in a relatively simple and straightforward manner. It seems reasonable to expect at this time that atomic resolution images, I-V spectra, and work function maps should all be obtainable in aqueous and nonaqueous electrochemical environments. Moreover, the evolution of such information as a function of time will yield new knowledge about key electrochemical processes. The current state of STM applications to electrochemistry is discussed below. 

Another way of expressing the idea of model distortion is to regard the recorded plant transients as continuous, indirect measurements of the model s constant parameters. If these new, inferential measurements of the model parameters fall outside the ranges set by previous, more direct measurements then there is an inconsistency. We should reject the model in its current state and seek to improve it. By this formulation, it becomes clear that the model distortion approach consists of mapping the complex dynamic behaviour of recorded plant variables onto the simple... 

Studies of the lens and the retina at the protein level have provided essential informations on the mechanisms of ocular disease, it will certainly be fiuitful to apply the same approach to other eye tissues where a range of post-translational modifications is likely to occur. As animal models are available for many ocular pathologies it is desirable to compare the relevant control and diseased tissues by generating proteomics maps that are as complete as possible. The current state of the art maps are based on 2D gels and they encompass soluble proteins within a molecular weight range of 10-... 

This evaluation focuses on the current state of planning and construction of MAPS and PBNSF. For this reason, issues such as decommissioning and decontamination are not considered here.

Step 2 is another opportunity to hone facilitation skills. Using simple process mapping symbols to spell out the current state process, the team has the opportunity to interact and identify problems and opportunities for process improvement as they complete the mapping. The fact that process mapping is visual helps to engage everyone because the map is drawn in full view of all. That is one of the real values of the A3. On one piece of paper, the entire project is laid out in front of everyone. 

As the team mapped the current state in step 2, they built a list of problems and opportunities for improving the process. Utilizing that list and the...
