How leadership theory can contribute in quality improvement efforts, by influencing change, teamwork and goal managementLoulas, Nikolaos
Quality improvement methods must be understood by those who operate them. This has often been taken to imply that only crude statistical methods are suitable for use on the shop floor. But with the important proviso that proper explanation and motivation are needed, practical understanding of subtle...
The germane issue for improvement practitioners, therefore, is not whether they use theory but whether they make explicit the particular theory or theories, informal and formal, they actually use. 展开 关键词: Evaluation methodology Social sciences Complexity Quality improvement methodologies Implementation...
Purpose: To enhance understanding of why continuous quality improvement (CQI) efforts in obstetrics often fail and why well-researched practice guidelines do not achieve widespread adoption, to review a recent CQI project to reduce cesarean delivery rates, and to gain a better understanding of the ...
Among the four QM dimensions, quality improvement has the highest publications in recent years and fuzzy decision making and fuzzy number are the main techniques adopted in quality improvement. 展开 关键词: fuzzy theory duality management distributed manufacturing network clustering analysis classification ...

Maintenance of meiotic sex is easier than the shift to asexuality and various mechanisms have evolved to balance costs of sex in eukaryotes. Sexual reproduction is consequently seen as a strategy to improve the quality of nuclear DNA in the offspring, which is crucial for the viability of ...
Then, the air quality evaluation model based on improved evidence theory (here namely the DCreWeight model) is proposed. Finally, according to the hourly air pollution data in Xi’an from June 1, 2014, to May 1, 2016, comparisons are made with the D–S, other improved methods of ...

Two methods of physically justified improvement of the STO and GTO basis set quality are suggested for ab initio calculations of molecular magnetic properties. They are based on the analysis of analytical expressions for the first-order correction (response) functions to the unperturbed basis AO's....
