The document provides information about a course on Total Quality Management taught by M. Senthil Kumar. It includes details of topics covered each week such as the seven traditional tools of quality including check sheets, flow charts, histograms etc. It also outlines the new management tools discussed like affinity diagrams, matrix diagrams and prioritization matrices. Methods of applying quality tools in industries like Toyota, Honda and IBM are presented. The document concludes with sections on benchmarking, failure mode and effect analysis.
NUMERICAL APPROXIMATION
Numerical approximation methods provide alternative procedures to analytical methods for solving mathematical problems that are complex or do not have exact solutions. These methods use iteration to systematically approximate the true value of a variable. Accuracy refers to how close an approximation is to the actual value, while precision refers to the number of significant figures. For a numerical method to work well, it must converge, meaning the approximations get closer to the true value with more iterations, and be stable. The appropriate method depends on factors like the type of problem, complexity of the model, and characteristics of the numerical method itself such as speed of convergence and stability.

The Effects Of Mass Customization On Productivity Abstract
This study analyzes the effects of mass customization (MC) on productivity by comparing MC industries to mass production (MP) industries in Turkey. The researchers used a two-deflator growth accounting approach to measure changes in value-added, capital contribution, labor contribution, and productivity. The findings contradict previous literature by showing customization results in higher product prices. To improve productivity and lower prices, the study suggests upgrades to human capital and technical changes.

This study examines the link between human development and income inequality using data from 90 countries. The evidence suggests human development and income inequality are negatively correlated, meaning countries with higher human development tend to have less income inequality, while more unequal countries tend to have lower human development. The relationship appears to go in both directions, with improvements in human development leading to greater equality and more equal societies also improving human development.
Critical Evaluation Of The Success Of Monetary Policies
The document discusses monetary policy and inflation in Turkey after 1980. It analyzes the relationship between inflation and monetary policy tools like money supply, required reserve ratio, and discount rate using Granger causality analysis. The results show bilateral causality between money supply and inflation, with money supply and required reserve ratio affecting inflation within 1 year and discount rate affecting inflation after around 4 years. It also finds that increases in inflation lead to increased money demand and money supply, fueling further price increases in Turkey.
Economic Growth In Turkey
The document discusses economic growth in Turkey. It covers key topics such as GDP, GDP per capita, growth rates, the effects of population growth, and productivity. Methods for measuring economic growth include growth accounting and the Solow model. Turkey has experienced economic crises in 1994, 2000, and 2001 related to growing current account deficits. As a developing country seeking EU membership, analyzing sources of growth is important for achieving stable and sustainable growth.
TFP Growth by TDA Method
The document discusses productivity and growth in the Turkish manufacturing industry between 1980-2001. It uses the perpetual inventory method to calculate physical capital stock since there are no official data available. It finds that value added growth is mainly explained by growth in capital stock at 52% on average, while total factor productivity contributes 44% and labor contribution is only 4% on average. It also finds that technological progress is not homogeneous and occurs unpredictably across industries and firms.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
