Factors of production may also refer specifically to the primary factors, which are land, labor
(the ability to work), and capital goods applied to production. Materials and energy are
considered secondary factors in classical economics because they are obtained from land, labour
and capital. The primary factors facilitate production but neither become part of the product (as
with raw materials) nor become significantly transformed by the production process (as with fuel
used to power machinery)..

In an industry, Identify the SystemSolution .pdfamitbanik23
In an industry,
Identify the System
Solution
The theory of constraints (TOC) adopts the common idiom \"A chain is no stronger
than its weakest link\" as a new management paradigm. This means that processes,
organizations, etc., are vulnerable because the weakest person or part can always damage or
break them or at least adversely affect the outcome. The analytic approach with TOC comes
from the contention that any manageable system is limited in achieving more of its goals by a
very small number of constraints, and that there is always at least one constraint. Hence the TOC
process seeks to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organization around it,
through the use of five focusing steps. he five focusing steps Theory of constraints is based on
the premise that the rate of goal achievement by a goal-oriented system (i.e., the system\'s
throughput) is limited by at least one constraint. The argument by reductio ad absurdum is as
follows: If there was nothing preventing a system from achieving higher throughput (i.e., more
goal units in a unit of time), its throughput would be infinite — which is impossible in a real-life
system. Only by increasing flow through the constraint can overall throughput be increased.[1]
Assuming the goal of a system has been articulated and its measurements defined, the steps are:
Identify the system\'s constraint(s) (that which prevents the organization from obtaining more of
the goal in a unit of time) Decide how to exploit the system\'s constraint(s) (how to get the most
out of the constraint) Subordinate everything else to above decision (align the whole system or
organization to support the decision made above) Elevate the system\'s constraint(s) (make other
major changes needed to break the constraint) Warning!!!! If in the previous steps a constraint
has been broken, go back to step 1, but do not allow inertia to cause a system\'s constraint. [5]
The goal of a commercial organization is: \"Make money now and in the future\", and its
measurements are given by throughput accounting as: throughput, inventory, and operating
expenses. The five focusing steps aim to ensure ongoing improvement efforts are centered
around the organization\'s constraint(s). In the TOC literature, this is referred to as the process of
ongoing improvement (POOGI). These focusing steps are the key steps to developing the
specific applications mentioned below. [edit]Constraints A constraint is anything that prevents
the system from achieving more of its goal. There are many ways that constraints can show up,
but a core principle within TOC is that there are not tens or hundreds of constraints. There is at
least one and at most a few in any given system. Constraints can be internal or external to the
system. An internal constraint is in evidence when the market demands more from the system
than it can deliver. If this is the case, then the focus of the organization should be on discovering
that constraint and following .

has been broken, go back to step 1, but do not allow inertia to cause a system\'s constraint. [5]
The goal of a commercial organization is: \"Make money now and in the future\", and its
measurements are given by throughput accounting as: throughput, inventory, and operating
expenses. The five focusing steps aim to ensure ongoing improvement efforts are centered
around the organization\'s constraint(s). In the TOC literature, this is referred to as the process of
ongoing improvement (POOGI). These focusing steps are the key steps to developing the
specific applications mentioned below. [edit]Constraints A constraint is anything that prevents
the system from achieving more of its goal. There are many ways that constraints can show up,
but a core principle within TOC is that there are not tens or hundreds of constraints. There is at
least one and at most a few in any given system. Constraints can be internal or external to the
system. An internal constraint is in evidence when the market demands more from the system
than it can deliver. If this is the case, then the focus of the organization should be on discovering
that constraint and following .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
