Startup businesses face significant risk in the search for a sustainable, profitable and scalable business model. Consequently, the success rate for Startups is low, making them a typically high risk investment. Agile methods offer a way of reducing the risk for both the technical implementation and the development of customers. This is achieved by increasing the ability for a Startup to adapt to change and to incorporate the lessons learned from early customer engagement. In this presentation the nature of technology Startups is examined and the application of Agile principles, practices and tools discussed.
Scaling Agile at Dell: Real-life Problems - and SolutionsTechWell
The transition from waterfall-based software development to an agile, iterative model carries with it well-known challenges and problems-entrenched cultures, skill gaps, and organizational change management. For a large, globally distributed software development organization, an entirely different set of practical challenges comes with scaling agile practices. Last year the Dell Enterprise Solutions Group applied agile practices to more than forty projects ranging from a collocated single team project to projects that consisted of fifteen Scrum teams located across the US and India. Geoff Meyer and Brian Plunkett explain how Dell mined these real-life projects for their empirical value and adapted their agile practices into a flexible planning model that addresses the project complexities of staffing, scale, interdependency, and waterfall intersection. Join Geoff and Brian to see how they tackled the tough, real-life problems scaling agile at Dell: functional-based organizational boundaries, globally distributed teams, contractor challenges, multi-team projects, and dependencies on teams that continued to develop using waterfall methods.
Hi @All,
This is a 30 minute introductory presentation of FMEA according to my personal professional view. I have chosen only those references that aligns with what I think best describe this analytical method.
FMEA is a technique developed by military reliability engineers between 1940 2) to 1950 using inductive reasoning (forward logic) single point of systematic failure analysis. FMEA helps to identify potential failure modes based on experience with similar products and processes - or based on common physics of failure logic. Effects Analysis refers to studying the consequences of those failures on different system. FMEA is an examination of all possible failures.

To Identify the Various Constraints for Delays in Construction Work and Sugge...Harish Rajmane
A constraint is defined as anything that limits an organization or entity from moving toward or achieving its goal. Needs and constraints in a multi-party working situation bring complications in project management. The aim and scope of this project is to identify the constraints in construction project working environment. If constraints are better understood at the outset, it is believed that better performance can be assured. Recognizing and expelling constraints from bottleneck exercises help to lessen instabilities in development procedures and builds the straight forwardness of project management. This study was carried out based on literature review and a questionnaire survey. The data for this study will be gathering through a detailed questionnaire survey. The questionnaire form is forwarded to various construction industries through email and in personal. The objectives of the study are to successfully reduce the constraints which will help to decrease the unnecessary wastage and loss of both money and time because of inadequate planning. Postponement in development project would cause for additional cost and misfortune in budgetary return or different advantages from extend. In this way, delay is expensive for both proprietor and temporary worker. The overview discoveries showed that the main drivers of monetary related deferrals are a result poor cash flow management followed by late payment, insufficient financial resources and financial market instability. The methodology of this thesis work incorporates an itemized investigation of worldwide writing identified with development limitations causes in everywhere throughout the world and gathering of information to set up a survey. Utilizing this questionnaire, a review will be done among contractual workers, experts and designers. The outcome got from this questionnaire will give us extreme reasons for development delay, so we can discover the answer for limit them in future development projects. The aim of this dissertation is to identify the various constraints in construction industry& analyze them on the basis of discussion carried out with experts in locality. The expand-focus principles & techniques will be applied for gathering the various causes from professional literature & also from local experts. This investigation will give a solution for delay in development project by limiting the constraints in development industry.
Application of Shainin techniques in Manufacturing Industry- Scientific Probl...Karthikeyan Kannappan
Elimination of wastage is one of the main criteria for “All inclusive growth”. Among the seven kinds of waste in Lean Toyota Production System – wastage on rework and scrap is a vital one. To minimise this waste the root cause of the chronic issues are to be identified and the manufacturing process is to be made robust. When solving chronic issues, on many occasions, the solution is found to be modifying current product / process specifications. This is because the traditional practice of accepting conformance to specification as gateway to quality – has camouflaged the root cause. Hence use of Scientific tool like Shainin Techniques which is impervious to specification will enhance the finding of root cause – in long standing chronic issues.
Shainin Technique is a problem solving tool which is used to solve the chronic problems in simple manner.
Dorian Shainin , an American famous statistician has developed these techniques based upon more than 50 years of his experience. There is a famous saying at Motorala, wherein these techniques are used to attain “six sigma” Shainin Philosophy is that “Do not let the engineers do the Guessing,Let the parts do the Talking”.

The presentation was designed to give you more insight into how a VMware Technical Support Engineer reviews logs, gathers data and performs in-depth analysis. Nathan is hoping to show you the skills they’re using every day to help determine the root cause for an issue in your environment. With this core knowledge, you will become more self-sufficient within your own environment and be able to diagnose an issue as it occurs rather than after the damage has been done.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.
