By using different forms of nontraditional assessment, such as StoryMaps, students are able to express themselves historians in new ways. The use StoryMaps allows for ease and exposure primary secondary sources that can assist forming their historical narrative.

Value Stream Mapping is known for identifying and eliminating or streamlining non-value-adding activities in manufacturing, production, business processes. To depict the current status of operation, a flow diagram depicting process drawn. Non-value actions are detected by their waste time resources each step between phase. With use simulation tools, examined possibility dramatically reducing si...

Variability is inherent in health care and is a result of many complex interactions between patients and providers, and those among providers. Physician autonomy is one aspect that causes variability. Professionals with autonomy tend to have control over conditions, processes, and procedures (Walter & Lopez, 2008) and this leads to the existence of differentiated process pathways. Providers wor...

Text: An enterprise GIS solution is a single organizational approach to sharing, using and managing spatial information by integrating business processes as well as data and people across departments of an organization. There can be many challenges in bringing this approach from the ongoing design phase through to implementation. This presentation describes the City of Vancouver's experience an...

Introduction: The main objective of this work is to show how process mapping may contribute to the improvement of intraand interorganizational integration of care. Theory and methods: Under logic of service integration, quality of care depends not only on how the internal processes are implemented, but also on the quality of the transitions of care with external entities. We conducted a case st...

Integrating human factors considerations into the design of production systems can improve productivity and quality results while reducing injury risks to system operators. The researchers are currently conducting an action research study with a Canadian electronics manufacturer to improve their production system design process (PSDP), and thereby their production systems, by integrating human ...

The formal description of a novel process model has been introduced, that gives a common framework for the balance based conservational and rule based informational processes. The models are represented by a bilayered net (di-digraph) that determines also the network structures of influence routes and flux routes. In the direct computer mapping of these process models the balance elements and t...

Many tools are in use for representing and analyzing business processes, but little information is available on how these tools are used in practice by process design teams. This paper analyzes one process mapping workshop in detail. Over three days, two facilitators and five representatives of the organization and business functions redesigned the core auto insurance business at a mid-size Swi...

It is an important problem to map virtual parallel processes to physical processors (or cores) in an optimized way to get scalable performance due to non-uniform communication cost in modern parallel computers. Existing work uses profile-guided approaches to optimize mapping schemes to minimize the cost of point-to-point communications automatically. However, these approaches cannot deal with c...
