5 Powerful Things I've Learned From 35 Years of Strength Training
The document outlines 5 powerful things the author has learned from 35 years of strength training: 1) Overtraining is a mistake and too many sets slows progress, 2) Focusing on the eccentric phase of lifts is important for control and injury prevention, 3) Nutrition is more important than training and hormones influence strength, 4) Cardio works best with good nutrition and full body movements aid metabolism, and 5) Basic lifts like squats and deadlifts are most effective and equipment should complement the body's natural movements. A bonus lesson is to maintain perspective on why you train and not lose yourself in perfectionism.
Key Performance Indicator
This document discusses Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for measuring warehouse inventory performance. It defines KPIs and lists 10 important warehouse inventory KPIs to monitor, including inventory turnover, inventory accuracy, rate of demand, average days on hand, carrying cost of inventory, rate of return, perfect order rate, back order rate, percentage of out of stock items, and inventory to sales ratio. Each KPI is defined and an example calculation is provided. Monitoring these KPIs can help optimize inventory levels and identify issues impacting operations.
Cost of Quality
The document discusses the concept of "cost of quality", which refers to the costs associated with defects and poor quality rather than just the costs of creating a quality product. It provides examples of costs increasing due to work being redone, such as reworking a manufactured item. There are generally four categories of quality costs: external failure costs from defects found after delivery to customers, internal failure costs from pre-delivery defects, inspection costs to determine conformance to requirements, and prevention costs to avoid poor quality.
Cost Of Quality
The document discusses the cost of poor quality in software development projects. It notes that the visible costs are small compared to the larger, less quantifiable costs represented by the bottom of the "quality iceberg". Fixing defects early in the requirements stage can be 1000 times cheaper than fixing them after launch. Common problems include poor requirements, feature creep, and unrealistic schedules. Small changes can require significant testing and documentation efforts across teams. The quality team aims to ensure a flawless experience for customers by analyzing defects, automating testing, and continually improving processes through defect analysis and baselining applications.
Cost of quality
Cost of Quality (CoQ) refers to the total costs associated with maintaining quality and preventing defects. It includes the Cost of Good Quality (COGQ), such as prevention and appraisal costs, and the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ), including internal and external failure costs. CoQ can be reduced by building quality into processes from the start to minimize defects and failures. The difference between actual product costs and costs with no defects represents the CoQ.
Cause and effect
The document explains the difference between a cause and an effect using the example of a boy being grounded for not being "on green" at school. It defines a cause as what happens first, and an effect as what happens second as a result of the cause. It identifies the boy not being "on green" at school as the cause and him being grounded as the effect. The document also provides signal words like "because" that help identify cause-effect relationships.
Cause and effect presentation
This document discusses cause and effect and provides examples to illustrate the concept. It defines cause as the reason for an action or event, and effect as the result of what happened. Connecting words like "because", "therefore", and "as a result" can help show the relationship between causes and effects. Examples are given of causes and their effects, both with and without connecting words. The document concludes by asking the reader to apply their understanding of cause and effect to short stories they have read.
Cost of quality
This document discusses the different categories and types of quality costs, including:
1) Visible costs like scrap, rework, and warranty costs and hidden costs like inefficient resource use.
2) Quality costs are divided into costs of conformance (prevention and appraisal) and costs of non-conformance (internal and external failure).
3) Prevention costs focus on designing quality in from the beginning while appraisal costs check for defects. Internal failures are detected before delivery while external failures are detected after.
Cause/Effect Signal Words
The document discusses cause and effect relationships and signal words that indicate them. It explains that understanding cause and effect helps comprehend selections better and that identifying signal words helps write better summaries. It then provides examples of common cause words like "for", "because", and "due to" and effect words like "therefore", "consequently", and "resulted in". Finally, it includes examples of identifying causes and effects and matching them with signal words.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Tools
This document provides an overview of root cause analysis (RCA) and common RCA tools. It discusses the CPAR/SCPAR process for documenting problems, determining root causes, and implementing corrective actions. Three common RCA tools are described: 5 Why's analysis involves repeatedly asking why to drill down to the root cause; affinity diagrams group related causes to identify major causes; and fishbone diagrams illustrate the relationship between causes and effects. The document encourages using the appropriate tool based on the problem complexity and provides examples of applying each tool.
Cost of quality
The document discusses cost of quality and its categories. It explains that cost of quality refers to the costs incurred to prevent non-conformance and the costs associated with poor quality. There are two main categories - costs of achieving good quality like prevention and appraisal costs, and costs of poor quality like internal and external failure costs. Measuring these costs helps identify opportunities to improve quality and reduce costs. It provides an example of measuring quality costs at a motor company over four years which showed prevention costs increasing and overall quality costs decreasing as quality improved.
Root Cause Analysis Presentation
The document discusses the differences between chronic and sporadic problems and the appropriate approaches to address each type. It defines chronic problems as existing for some time and requiring improvement projects to attain breakthroughs. Sporadic problems are deviations that require troubleshooting to restore normal performance. The document outlines the sequence for breakthrough analysis including diagnosis to find root causes and developing remedies. It also summarizes the key steps in troubleshooting sporadic problems and the link between root cause analysis and the management by fact approach.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR
The document defines key performance indicators (KPIs) as quantifiable measures that help companies gauge their performance against strategic goals. KPIs vary by industry but generally measure aspects like sales, costs, and quality. The document outlines objectives for KPIs like improving understanding and awareness of performance. It also discusses characteristics of good KPIs like being specific, measurable, and time-bound. Finally, the document provides examples of common KPIs for industries like shipping/logistics and infrastructure development.

Social media for business Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
