Enable processes management

Given the high complexity of the operation, one of the most important factors in achieving the full impact of any improvement process is a rigorous control system that enables production managers to follow up with full and timely implementation of all the necessary measures, and to identify the bottom-line impact on the profit and loss account. 

For some time it has been known that experience and understanding of one s own work is necessary to enable process evolution and improvement [74f[. This insight has resulted in several approaches based on the basic concept of experience reuse. Many approaches to the problem of experience and knowledge management are based on the concept of organizational memory, as described in [606]. Another set of well-researched approaches is based on the...

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a management philosophy developed by Goldratt (1992). It enables the managers of a system to achieve more of the goal that system is designed to produce. The concept or the objective is not new. However, in service operations where it is often difficult to quantify the capacity constraint TOC could be very useful. For companies that employ skilled workers and for many service organizations the constraint is often the time of one or a few key employees. The key steps in this process are ...

It particularly deals with the contribution to these aspects made by continuous rather than a batch plant. It is suggested that the advantages of modern, continuous process plant may stem from automation, particularly with computer or microprocessor control. The ability to simulate plant operation or to modify before commissioning enables plant managers and even plant operators to contribute to a successful new process.

Several utihties are burning or have successfully test-burned I DE. Eor example, the results of a pilot project at Wisconsin Power Light (WP L) were so successful that the utihty installed its own system to shred tires, thereby assuring a steady supply of uniformly sized tire chips. The tire processing plant will enable the utihty to manage about 20% of the 5 x 10 waste tires generated each year in Wisconsin. 

One of the most important items in an income statement is depreciation expense. Although depreciation should not be thought of as a means to build up a fund to replace plant, it nevertheless does enable money to be retained in the business by reducing the profit available for distribution to stockholders. It is of course a duty of both accountants and management to see that sufficient money is retained in the business to replace assets and to invest such money in other processes or outside investment.
