LEAN is a management practice that aims to eliminate waste and create more value for a business. It originated in the automotive industry and is now used across many sectors. LEAN aims to create a culture of continuous improvement throughout an organization by removing unnecessary steps and creating smooth workflow. Key aspects of LEAN include identifying the seven main types of waste, value stream mapping, establishing a pull-based production system, and developing a long-term culture of continuous improvement. Phalanx Consulting provides expertise in implementing the LEAN methodology through workshops, training, value stream mapping, and ongoing coaching support.

In this presentation we'll take a high level view of that messy thing most of us call a career in this ever evolving technological world. We'll more deeply explore how Agile fits into the the mix, whether for better or for worse, and drive out what we can do about it to help us achieve the goals we have set before us.
Agile Data (http://git.io/ad) is my new open-source framework that fills the growing gap between ORM and Raw SQL queries. In this presentation I explain why have I started Agile Data project and how can it enable PHP developer to generate more sophisticated queries when they need them.

Healthcare waste is such waste which is generated from healthcare facilities, natal care, treatment centers of human and animals. It mainly includes different types of wastes such as sharps, infected syringes, animal and human tissues, drugs and medicines. There are different health risks associated with each type of waste so their management is necessary.
Healthcare waste is of several types and its exposure to public, nurses, cleanliness staff, patients and paramedical staff is from several routes like inhalation, ingestion and skin contact. Once it gets entry into environment it causes several health impacts which may lead to death. There are guidelines and treatment systems in Pakistan for the treatment of healthcare waste but since there is no system of check and balance so condition is worse here. Most of the diseases are caused from the exposure to different types of healthcare waste. So there is need to treat this waste according to WHO guidelines before its final disposal into environment.
Government and associated departments should step in to control the situation. There is serious need of handling of waste specially sharps and syringes, pathological waste and infectious waste.
Hospitals, which are major part of healthcare waste, must be charged if they don’t handle waste properly.
Workers should be given trainings for the awareness of health hazardous of healthcare waste.
There should be strict rules and regulations for the use of protective equipment such as gloves and masks and special dress for the collection and disposal of waste.
Above all, there should be proper system for the segregation, collection, storage and transportation of waste.
Storage area must be separate and away from healthcare facility so that it cannot affect health of workers.
The Deming Cycle or The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model is a proven framework for implementing continuous quality improvement. It originated in the 1920s with Walter A. Shewhart. These four steps provide the framework for continuous improvement. The PDCA cycle basically starts with a plan and ends with an action in accordance with the information learned during the process. In later years Dr. Deming actually changed the Check portion to the term Study to highlight the creation and validation of new knowledge during that portion of the cycle. There is a Slideshare presentation using this slideck.
What do 'Lean' manufacturing techniques have to offer service companies? Lean production practices generally reduce costs, eliminate waste, and increase efficiency. However, translating these practices to an office environment is often less than obvious. Fully achieving 'Lean' also entails value stream mapping, root cause problem solving, and 5S methodology (to name a few). But these ideas are far from difficult to grasp and often enlightening.
Joint presentation to SME members on the benefits of Lean, a overview of Lean terminology, and how sequencing operations in a balanced flow reduces Lead Time.
This is a presentation I gave to the Ohio Valley LIG of the Service Management Forum in April of 2010.
I focused the presentation on three main themes:
1) The refinement or removal of non value-added processes in IT (the "big" idea of Lean IT)
2) The institution of metrics (if you don't know where you are now, how do you know where you're going in the future?)
3) The enhancement of communications (manage projects throughout their lifecycle using normalized interfaces)
