This is done using the shared mental models theory to understand how the lean principles enable people to work together to complete the tasks and work together effectively as a team throughout the entire precast construction process from the design, production and logistics to installation stages. Besides the theoretical concepts, this proposed book also presents the practical aspects faced by contractors through the conduct of questionnaire surveys to understand how the implementation of lean principles and shared mental models will affect the occurrence of construction wastes and hence the changes in the total man days used during the precast construction process. This book also presents a neural network model for developing leading indicators that classify precast construction projects in accordance with the manpower changes achieved through the construct of lean principles and shared mental models. This is to help the construction industry to predict the risk of low construction productivity and enable effective lean implementation to optimize the manpower effort required.Management in the Built Environment,2522-0047Waste Management/Waste TechnologyProject managementConstruction ManagementWaste Management/Waste Technology.Project management.Construction Management.690.0151Ong Joy1220138Sui Pheng LowMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910485051403321Waste reduction in precast construction2847465UNINA01206nam 2200349 450 991070424400332120200529083259.0(CKB)5470000002439235(OCoLC)1155807056(EXLCZ)99547000000243923520200529d2017 ua 0spaur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLo que debe saber sobre la obtención de sus recetas médicasRevisado en marzo 2017.[Baltimore, Md.] :Department of Health and Human Services, [Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services],2017.1 online resource (2 unnumbered pages)"Revisado en marzo 2017.""CMS Producto No.11769-S"--Page 1."Mercado de Seguoros Médicos."Pharmaceutical services insurancePharmaceutical services insurance.Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (U.S.),GPOGPOBOOK9910704244003321Lo que debe saber sobre la obtención de sus recetas médicas3460931UNINA03152nam 2200697Ia 450 991102000540332120200520144314.0978661234949297804706876110470687614978111920650711192065029781282349490128234949X97804707452290470745223(CKB)1000000000707384(EBL)416364(OCoLC)313859147(SSID)ssj0000109448(PQKBManifestationID)11129598(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000109448(PQKBWorkID)10046568(PQKB)10235137(MiAaPQ)EBC416364(Perlego)1007212(EXLCZ)99100000000070738420081219d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrBeating low cost competition how premium brands can respond to cut-price rivals beating the competition /Adrian RyansChichester, England ;Hoboken, NJ John Wiley & Sonsc20081 online resource (274 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780470742976 0470742976 Includes bibliographical references and index.Beating Low Cost Competition; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; CHAPTER 1: The growing challenge from low cost competitors; CHAPTER 2: Why the threat from low cost competition is intensifying; CHAPTER 3: Understanding how low cost competitors play the game; CHAPTER 4: Realistically assessing the threat; CHAPTER 5: Confronting low cost competitors in the price value segment of the market; CHAPTER 6: Avoiding head-to-head competition with low cost competitors by playing a different game; CHAPTER 7: The leadership challenge; CHAPTER 8: An even more challenging future; References; IndexLow cost competitors, who offer "good enough" products and services at very attractive prices, are currently significantly impacting the businesses of many leading companies, and some are starting to "move up" to challenge the traditional companies in their core markets.
