According to W. Edwards Deming, American companies require nothing less than a transformation of management style and of governmental relations with industry. In Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982, Deming offers a theory of management based on his famous 14 Points for Management. Management's failure to plan for the future, he claims, brings about loss of market, which brings about loss of jobs. Management must be judged not only by the quarterly dividend, but by innovative plans to stay in business, protect investment, ensure future dividends, and provide more jobs through improved product and service. In simple, direct language, he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.

Reducing the cost of preventive maintenance (PM) through adopting a proactive reliability-focused culture

A theoretical model has been developed for the management of municipal solid waste streams (MSW), taking into account their rates and compositions, as well as their adverse environmental impacts. The model identifies the optimal combination of technologies for the handling, treatment and disposal of MSW in a better economic and more environmentally sustainable way.

An integrated approach to municipal solid waste management

The economically-viable and environmentally-acceptable disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a major concern in many industrialised countries. The main problem facing policy makers in the waste management sector is how to predict the amount and the composition of MSW that is likely to be generated in the near future in order to devise the most appropriate treatment/disposal strategy. Published data on MSW arisings in European countries during the period 1980–1993 and those for the USA between 1960 and 1993 have been correlated with the corresponding figures for the gross domestic product (GDP) and population. The typical composition of MSW has been expressed in terms of the fraction of the total consumer expenditure on goods and products resulting in the generation of MSW, i.e. related total consumer expenditure (RTCE). A model linking RTCE to GDP has been developed and utilised to estimate the amounts of the individual fractions in the total MSW generated. The correlations permit highly-accurate predictions of the total amount of MSW arisings to be obtained both for European countries and the USA. Deviations between the predicted and measured values are, however, much lower in the case of the USA, because the corresponding model is based on data for a single country. Good matches between the predicted and measured figures for the individual fractions of the MSW also ensue. However, the model for predicting the individual fractions in the MSW for the European countries is based solely on information available for the UK.
