Produktentwicklung: Requirements / Risikoanalyse (FMEA / DRBFM) by Franc Grimm

Rückruf-Aktionen bzw. Qualitätsprobleme bei Unternehmen trotz ausgereifter Qualitätsmanagement (QM)-Methoden und Werkzeuge – wie ist das möglich? Natürlich spielt „menschliches Versagen“ eine Rolle, jedoch nicht die entscheidende! Der Hauptgrund ist recht trivial: es mangelt an Lust & Motivation, die QM-Methoden und Werkzeuge auch wirklich sinnvoll und systematisch zu nutzen! Risikoanalysen werden häufig nur als Pflichtaufgabe (als notwendiges Übel) und selten als Kür angesehen! FMEA (Fehlermöglichkeits-...

Cognitive dissonance and erosion of moral by Dirk Fabricius

Kai Neumanns model „Ethical management“ (17.10.15) and his (a little bit grey) hint to „cognitive dissonance“ triggered this raw-model. Because I did not find an easy way to integrate it in Kai’s model, I left it in this ‚isolated‘ form – but perhaps you, Kai, or somebody else will transfer it (or parts of it). I think, the cognitive dissonance usually is on the part of the consumers likewise and the problem of feeling unhappy with it as well. The techniques to get rid of the unhappiness may be different...

The rise of resistance against climate policies by Kai Neumann

Whether it is Germany's "Heizungsgesetz" or the European Union's "Renaturation Law" there is a certain pattern how resistance evolves. Recently I was on workation sailing the Baltic Sea observing lots of signs of movements against the implementation of protected natural habitats in the Baltic Sea. The fishing 'industry', the tourism, and the water sports enthusiasts all seem united in their protest against the protection of the Baltic Sea. Fact is, that the Baltic Sea is in an extremely poor condition ca...

Automation, digitization and industry 4.0 - more or less jobs and energy use? by Kai Neumann

Waterkant Festival 2017: collaborative workshop model by Kai Neumann

This small model should just help to facilitate a workshop at the WaterkantFestival 2017 in Kiel, Germany. The topic is to show how a new enterprise can become successful with an innovation. This model looks exactly at the enterprise. Another model will look at the generation of an innovative product (applying the so called Idealized System Design). And a third, quantitative model will show how counterintiutive dynamics behind a start up can be (the diffussion model that shows how to burn investor's mone...

Germany‘s Jamaica Coalition a historic chance by Kai Neumann

As disappointed I as I was about the lates election‘s results I nevertheless see a historic opportunity for real political progress. A lot major steps are prevented (for sometimes a very good reason) by the power sharing between national Bundestag and federal Bundesrat with a reigning CDU that is by definition conservative trying to change as little as possible. Now there is little alternative to bargaining a change other than they could decide to change nothing but to get ministries or than to repeat th...

Warum Deutschland einen Politikwechsel braucht (Kurzform mit Fokus auf Wirtschaft) by Kai Neumann

Politik, die sich an den Bedürfnissen der BürgerInnen und den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft orientierte, könnte sehr sachlich nach optimalen Lösungen suchen. Die Realität ist eine der Deutungshoheiten und Interessenvertretungen weniger. Um jetzt doch auf die Zusammenhänge blicken zu können, gibt es drei Modelle: 1. Ein Modell, das von den Grundbedürfnissen ausgehend fragt, wie die Wahlprogramme mit welchen konkreten Maßnahmen und deren Finanzierung diese bedienen. (https://www.know-why.net/...

PiM Mini Model on Costs based on Availability by Kai Neumann

This mini model shows one of two ways to calculate costs within PROCESS-iMODELER models. Costs can be either as shown in another model the directly associated costs or like shown here the costs of the availability of the resources. For the availability of resources you simply sum up the cost of a resource times the number of principally available resources. The use of level resources can either be equally their principal availability or their use. For this you can use the possibility to connect a process...

world democracy by Kai Neumann

Whether it is FIFA or the UN or just the USA: the challenge is to get the voting for wise decisions Originally I thought it would be the same model for all three cases, but now I think  - FIFA sustains its system of corruption as those who profit from it directly vote for it (not the nations or organizations but its representatives) - the current UN or world security council suffers from the blockades mainly from China and Russia who do not want the UN to interfere in other countries. A World Council tha...
