| cpim part 1 book: Model-Driven Development and Operation of Multi-Cloud Applications Elisabetta Di Nitto, Peter Matthews, Dana Petcu, Arnor Solberg, 2016-12-22 This books is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book summarizes work being undertaken within the collaborative MODAClouds research project, which aims to facilitate interoperability between heterogeneous Cloud platforms and remove the constraints of deployment, portability, and reversibility for end users of Cloud services. Experts involved in the project provide a clear overview of the MODAClouds approach and explain how it operates in a variety of applications. While the wide spectrum of available Clouds constitutes a vibrant technical environment, many early-stage issues pose specific challenges from a software engineering perspective. MODAClouds will provide methods, a decision support system, and an open source IDE and run-time environment for the high-level design, early prototyping, semiautomatic code generation, and automatic deployment of applications on multiple Clouds. It will free developers from the need to commit to a fixed Cloud technology stack during software design and offer benefits in terms of cost savings, portability of applications and data between Clouds, reversibility (moving applications and data from Cloud to non-Cloud environments), risk management, quality assurance, and flexibility in the development process. |
| cpim part 1 book: Land Dispossession and Everyday Politics in Rural Eastern India Kenneth Bo Nielsen, 2018-02-22 Over the past decade India has witnessed a number of land wars that have centred crucially on the often forcible transfer of land from small farmers or indigenous groups to private companies. Among these, the land war that erupted in Singur, West Bengal, in 2006, went on to make national headlines and become paradigmatic of many of the challenges and social conflicts that arise when a state-led policy of swiftly transferring land to private sector companies encounters resistance on the ground. Land Dispossession and Everyday Politics in Rural Eastern India analyses the movement by Singur’s so-called unwilling farmers to retain and reclaim their farmland. By foregrounding the everyday politics of popular mobilization, the book sheds new light on the movement’s internal politics as well as on contentious issues rooted in everyday caste, class and gender relations. |

| cpim part 1 book: Cpim Part 2 Module 1 Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes & Review Questions 2018/19 Examreview, 2018-03-12 SMR was the final module to take in the past. Now it becomes module 1 of the new part 2 exam. Is it tough? Well, in a sense, yes. It is tough because there is no fixed answer to the test questions. You are asked to choose the best possible answer among all potentially OK answers. Also, most questions are long and with complicated scenarios to confuse you. To pick up the politically correct answers you have to use your business sense to make judgment on a case by case basis. SMR is all about supply-side management at a higher global and strategic level. What is serious supply management all about? Accenture has developed seven principles of supply-chain management: 1. Segment customers based on their service needs. 2. Design the logistics network based on service requirements. 3. Listen to the signals of market demand and plan accordingly. 4. Differentiate products based on actual consumer demand. 5. Strategically manage the sources of supply. 6. Develop a supply-chain-wide technology strategy. 7. Adopt measures that apply to every link in the supply chain. Because of advances in manufacturing and distribution, the cost of developing new products and services is dropping, and time to market is speeding up. This has resulted in increasing customer demands, local and global competition, and increased pressure on the supply chain. To stay competitive, companies must reinvent themselves so that the supply chain-sourcing and procurement, production scheduling, order fulfillment, inventory management, and customer care-is no longer a cost-based back-office exercise, but rather a flexible operation designed to effectively address today's challenges. If you have been specializing in manufacturing or shop floor functions, it is now the time to move yourself to a managerial position - you need to see things from a broader MBA style perspective. |

| cpim part 1 book: Operations Management in Healthcare Dr. Corinne Karuppan, PhD, CPIM, Michael Waldrum, MD, MSc, MBA, Dr. Nancy Dunlap, MD, Ph.D., MBA, 2016-05-15 Describes how to build a competitive edge by developing superior operations This comprehensive, practice-oriented textbook shows how healthcare organizations can gain a competitive edge through superior operations. A strategic perspective is taken by achieving excellence in the four competitive priorities: quality, cost, timely delivery, and flexibility. The competitive priorities should not be pursued in isolation. They are indeed interrelated, and we show how initiatives targeted at improving performance in each of the four competitive priorities impact one another and have synergistic effects. Upon completion of the course, students will have developed a conceptual mental model of health care operations in which all concepts and tools fit together. They will recognize the dangers of pursuing local optimization and appreciate the benefits of aligning the entire operations system with the business strategy. The book shows how to run a healthcare organization. We highlight the different perspectives of clinicians and administrators and attempt to resolve their conflicts by offering a common platform for building competitive advantage. To bring the cultural context to life, we engage students with a series of short stories showcasing the struggles of a fictitious health care organization as it embarks on its journey to becoming a highly reliable organization. Our approach is very “hands-on.” Throughout the book, we help students develop a tool kit to assist in problem solving and process improvements. The tools are presented using step-by-step instructions and are fully integrated with the chapter materials. Most of our students have felt they were able to use these decision aids on the job right away. Key Features: • Mind maps to connect competitive priorities, concepts, and tools in a logical, integrated fashion • Development of an extensive tool kit • Emphasis on measurement with the use of dashboards in multiple chapters • The story of a fictitious healthcare organization to demonstrate people dynamics, organizational challenges, and the applicability of tools in every chapter. Questions at the end of each story segment help stimulate class discussion and reflection • Box features with frequently asked student questions and our answers (LET’S TALK!) • Box features with real-world implementations of the concepts (OM IN PRACTICE!) • Data files available for statistical process control, queuing, and simulation • Comprehensive Instructor Packet and online tutorials |

| cpim part 1 book: Cpim Certification Exam Examfocus Study Notes & Review Questions 2018/19 Examreview, 2018-03-09 A supply chain is a network of retailers, distributors, transporters, storage facilities and suppliers that participate in the sale, delivery and production of a particular product. The concept of supply chain often involves backward integration - acquiring ownership of one's supply chain (in the hope of reducing supplier power and thus reducing input costs). The four major functional components are: demand planning manufacturing planning and scheduling supply planning transportation planning The reconfigured module 1 BSCM exam covers the basics. The exam attempts to test your basic understanding towards supply chain and the various PIM (production and inventory management) concepts. Many people consider this exam as the easiest one. To assure exam success, you need to read and learn as much as possible. Our ExamFOCUS notes provides knowledge material to enhance your exam readiness - we help answer those tough questions that cover advanced knowledge and concepts not commonly found in the standard study material. Still, the coverage of the exam is huge. Expecting full and complete coverage of all the knowledge items from a single source is unrealistic.
