SYSTEMS INNOVATION BOOK SERIES

Opis produktu

Work is all around us and permeates everything we do and everyday activities. Not all work is justified not all work is properly designed or evaluated accurately or integrated. A systems model will make work more achievable through better management. Work is defined as a process of performing a defined task or activity such as research development operations maintenance repair assembly production and so on. Very little is written on how to design evaluate justify and integrate work. Using a comprehensive systems approach this book facilitates a better understanding of work for the purpose of making it more effective and rewarding.Work is all around us and permeates everything we do and everyday activities.
