The problem this work aims to solve is the improvement of the leanness level of a company jeopardized by the lack of lean engagement. The objectives of the research are to present a method based on a lean self-assessment approach, consisted of a qualitative self-assessment method based on lean elements that drives an index definition associated with a roadmap. The method consists in providing a roadmap for the assessed enterprise composed by the company’s lean index, recommendations and countermeasures deriving from Delphi and Kendall Coefficient of Concordance ( W) application among lean experts, leading the assessed enterprise to achieve results in terms of lean engagement, autonomy, and decision support criteria for future resource allocation. The results demonstrated that method can highlight gaps where additional improvements and investments would be necessary in the assessed enterprise. Finally, the study concludes that the lean performance identification associated to a lean roadmap in a company can be a highly effective tool to improve lean adoption in a leanness organization.

Assessment Approach

Movement disorders associated with Essential Tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) can negatively impact use of the upper limb for many precision tasks, including handwriting. Both ET and PD can be assessed through clinical tests which are, however, relatively subjective. This assessment approach possesses inherent logistical and resolution limitations. To address this, here we present objective computerized metrics intended to assess and quantify the extent to which static writing samples display the effects of ET and PD. Specifically, these metrics are tested in their ability to measure tremor by comparing unaffected writing samples with those affected by artificially induced tremor on healthy subjects, and also by comparing healthy writing samples with symptomatic writing samples collected from PD patients reporting micrographia. Our findings indicate that the presented metrics can be utilized for assessment, leading to a toolset capable of objectively monitoring static handwriting changes associated with symptom variations in ET and/or PD patients.

An assessment approach in regard to tailings dam break would be analyzed and established in aspects of life, property and environment & resources loss in the essay. Tailings bam break hits local social economy varying with region as a result of particular and specialized space diversity. With the simple and practicable approach, it is quite reasonable to accomplish quantitative assessment of risk as well as review controlling priority to potential risk arising from tailings reservoir.

Abstract The present study is to investigate the effect of metal oxides Fe2O3 and CeO2 on the structural and optical characteristics of Y2O3 stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramic (Y-TZP). Different concentrations of Fe2O3 and CeO2 are added into Y-TZP to fabricate the colored Y-TZP. The chromaticity and transmittance were measured by spectrophotometer. The effect of each colorant on color and transmittance of Y-TZP is quantitatively studied. Most of the previous related studies used indirect methods for measurement, but in order to get more accurate results, we chose the direct measurement method. It is found that the addition of Fe2O3 and CeO2 not only changes the color of Y-TZP, but also reduces the light transmittance. The SEM characterization and XRD analysis are then performed to check the microstructure and crystal structure respectively, by which we try to understand the microscopic principle. Our findings can improve the understanding of coloration of Y-TZP by mental oxides, and support a quantitative assessment approach for aesthetic performance of dental restoration material.

Effective Assessment

The vulnerability of software components hinders the development of component technology. An effective assessment approach to component security level can promote the development of component technology. Thus, the current paper proposes a quantitative assessment approach to COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) component security. The steps of interface fault injection and the assessment framework are given based on the internal factors of the tested component. The quantitative assessment algorithm and formula of component security level are also presented. The experiment results show that the approach not only can detect component security vulnerabilities effectively but also quantitatively assess the component security level. The score of component security can be accurately calculated, which represents the security level of the tested component.

Event Occurrence

Purpose This study aims to argue that in the case of quantitative security risk assessment, individuals do not estimate probabilities as a likelihood measure of event occurrence. Design/methodology/approach The study uses the most commonly used quantitative assessment approach, the annualized loss expectancy (ALE), to support the three research hypotheses. Findings The estimated probabilities used in quantitative models are subjective. Research limitations/implications The ALE model used in security risk assessment, although it is presented in the literature as quantitative, is, in fact, qualitative being influenced by bias. Practical implications The study provides a factual basis showing that quantitative assessment is neither realistic nor practical to the real world. Originality/value A model that cannot be tested experimentally is not a scientific model. In fact, the probability used in ISRM is an empirical probability or estimator of a probability because it estimates probabilities from experience and observation.
