Figure 15.1 repeats a model for supply chain change introduced in Chapter 13. Such a model could form the nucleus of a singular methodology, Level 3 in the Kerzner maturity model. We have already used the approach to define the supply chain strategy. An important point is that it also applies to process improvement projects that implement the strategy. 

PMMM Project Management Maturity Model. A five-level model developed by Dr. Harold Kemzner. The levels are common language, common processes, singular methodology, benchmarking, and continuous improvement. 

In case of project management, a maturity model is applied. In this model it is hardly possible to implement a higher maturity level before the predecessor level has been mastered. E.g. maturity level two should be implemented before level three. The five levels after the base level no discernible project management are common language , common processes , singular methodology , benchmarking , and continuous improvement (Ayers 2004). ... 

Project management maturity level The gap analysis revealed that the company s project management is still at the singular methodology. 

Project management maturity level Although projects are part of the day-to-day business. Project management skills are not yet as crucial for our competitive situation Significant current level is estimated to be singular methodology , whereas a benchmarking situation is desired Resources could better be spent elsewhere... 

Furthermore the project management maturity level needs to be improved from its current state singular methodology to a higher level.

In this section we address formation of concentration shocks in reactive ion-exchange as an asymptotic phenomenon. The prototypical case of local reaction equilibrium of Langmuir type will be treated in detail, following [1], [51], For a treatment of the effects of deviation from local equilibrium the reader is referred to [51]. The methodological point of this section consists of presentation of a somewhat unconventional asymptotic procedure well suited for singular perturbation problems with a nonlinear degeneration at higher-order derivatives. The essence of the method proposed is the use of Newton iterates for the construction of an asymptotic sequence. 

Section 4.4 extends the proposed methodology to reactive membrane separation systems being controlled by vapor-liquid mass transfer and finite chemical reaction kinetics, simultaneously. For this general case the term kinetic arheo-trope is introduced for the singular points obtained in phase diagrams. 

Another popular sensing methodology is based on spectral interrogation. It uses detection of displacements of spectral singularities in the presence of a measurand with respect to their positions for a zero measurand. This sensing approach is particularly effective in the resonant sensor configurations that feature sharp transmission or absorption peaks in their spectra. Defining /Ip( ) to be the position of a peak in a sensor transmission spectmm as a function of a measurand value spectral sensitivity function can be defined as ...
