The Design Phase Methodology

Market Analysis

Parametric Analysis: Determining the product's position relative to competition and price additions.

Matrix Comparison: Comparing the product against competitors regarding specific requirements.

Requirements Definition

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

QFD establishes the relationship between customer requirements and technical requirements. The steps include:

1. Identifying customer requirements.
2. Identifying technical requirements.
3. Defining the relationship between customer and technical requirements.
4. Establishing identity and relations between technical requirements.
5. Determining the weight of each item.
6. Evaluating the competition based on these factors.

Design Concept Development

1. Identifying design alternatives

Management Theories

Neo-classical Theory

Based on perfect market and information, this theory often ignores the human element and is considered a 'black box' approach.

Transaction Cost Theory

Focuses on factors like **market dynamics**, **pricing**, **company structure**, **coordination**, and **organizational aspects**, highlighting **limits on growth**.

Agency Theory

Examines relationships between **owners**, **workers**, and **regulators**, often involving **conflicts of interest**, **uncertainty**, and **additional costs**.

Ownership Theory

Views the firm as a series of **bilateral contracts**, emphasizing the **visible hand of the company**, the role of a **third party**, and **transparency**.

Inion: A Meeting of the line occipital (nuchal) exceeding the median sagittal plane. Generally corresponds to the external occipital protuberance. Opisthion:

Key Business Concepts

The amount of product developed in a time period is called Production Volume.

Power based on existing standards, agreements, and contracts within a distribution channel is Legitimate Power.

Decisions concerning new product development are made at the Direction Level.

Growth through acquisition, absorption, and corporate control is called Financial Growth.

Badwill is the opposite of Goodwill.

Growth based on decisions that avoid mistakes is called Despite Minimum Criteria.

A periodic survey using a permanent sample to answer questions at regular intervals is called a Panel.

Optimization models are Analytical Models.

Autocratic leaders make all decisions without consulting their subordinates.

The principle in graph theory that prohibits... Continue reading "Key Business Concepts: Production, Power, and Growth" »

There may be pressures, both from those involved and by the Administration, to get unbiased information quickly. This can cause problems such as calling for information at inopportune moments, conditioning the evaluator to provide information in a particular direction, or falsifying reality. This leads to a distorted view, where information is received from the appraiser in a partisan, arbitrary, and self-interested manner, solely to get information to places or persons of interest. All this can lead to an assessment where the assessor bureaucratically accepts the values of the authorities and provides information that will help them carry out their policy objectives. This also includes what McDonald called self-critical evaluation, in which... Continue reading "Overcoming Challenges in Social Intervention Evaluation" »

Accident Modes

Shock

Shock: Vehicle in contact with the track fixture. Simple accident.

Overturning

Overturning: Simple accident. The tires are no longer in contact with the track.

V. Bell

V. Bell: Vehicle rotated on its transverse axis.

V. Barrel

V. Barrel: Vehicle turned on its longitudinal axis.

Output via

Output via: The vehicle moves out of the way by circulating. Accident can be simple or complex.

Collisions

Collisions: Complex accidents involving contact between more than one moving traffic unit.

Front Collision

Front:

• Approximate central longitudinal axes coincide.
• Eccentric axes parallel but not identical.
• Angular longitudinal axes form an angle less than 90 degrees.

Onslaught Collision

Onslaught: At least one party in contact is the side of a vehicle.... Continue reading "Traffic Accident Definitions and Police Documentation" »

Six Critical Challenges Facing Educators

1. 1. The Challenge of Teacher Overload

   Teachers face immense pressure, often extending beyond their primary role. With social workers reportedly lacking adequate training or resources, many societal demands fall squarely on educators. This includes addressing the diverse situations of each child, such as home instability and varying social backgrounds, leading to a dangerous level of professional overload.

2. 2. The Problem of Professional Isolation

   Isolation is a significant issue, hindering the development of new ideas and better solutions. It also fosters internal tensions when teachers lack colleagues with whom to share their burdens. This often stems from an overwhelming workload, leaving teachers with little
