• Control Program: We choose those k in the k channels that have some control. Let us cooperate. Franchises.
• Minimize the Cost of Distribution

Factors Determining the Choice of K Channel

• Consumer Features: Habits, etc.
• Product Features: The product determines the channel.

1. Noise

Article 70. In occupational exposure to noise, a distinction is made between stable noise, fluctuating noise, and impulse noise.

Article 71. Steady noise is noise that has fluctuations in instantaneous sound pressure level less than or equal to 5 dB (A) slow, during an observation period of 1 minute.

Fluctuating noise is noise that presents fluctuations in instantaneous sound pressure level in excess of 5 dB (A) slow during an observation period of 1 minute.

Impulsive noise is noise that has acoustic energy impulses for less than 1 second at intervals of more than 1 second.

Article 72. Measurements of steady noise, fluctuating noise, and impulse noise must be made with an integrating sound level meter or a dosimeter meeting the requirements... Continue reading "Occupational Noise Exposure Standards and Regulations" »

Taguchi Strategy for Quality Improvement

Taguchi Strategy applies statistical methods to significantly improve the quality of manufactured products. This approach was instrumental in helping post-war Japan overcome its industrial challenges, particularly in areas like telecommunications.

Core Contributions of Taguchi Methods

• Quality Loss Function: Measures the financial loss to society resulting from poor quality, extending beyond mere product failure.
• Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Used to evaluate product functionality and robustness in the early stages of development, aiming for minimum cost and rapid improvement of product and process design.
• Taguchi Techniques: Focus on improving both product design and manufacturing processes.
• Taguchi Concepts: Emphasize

Organizational Structure Variables & Information Processes

For the design of an organizational structure, there are three groups of variables:

1. Variables related to grouping methods.
2. Variables for coordination activities.
3. Variables that ensure coordination moments and are not structurally determined.

Grouping can be performed in two ways: based on results or based on tasks. Thus, there are two basic configurations of design:

• Functional Grouping: People performing the same tasks are grouped together.
• Output-Based Grouping: Each unit has the autonomy to design its own operations and processes.

The design of workflows and operations involves studying how tasks are structured, how information flows, and how people, processes, and machinery are synchronized... Continue reading "Strategic Variables: Organizational Structure, Information, and HR Performance" »
