3. Peer Evaluation
Introduction Networks ApplicationChallenges Value
• Evaluation of work by one’s peers
• A form of self-regulation by qualified
members of a profession
• Used both for process improvement and
standardization
• A concept that is both vague and inherently
biased

4. Continuous Improvement
Introduction Networks ApplicationChallenges Value
• An ongoing effort to improve products,
services, or processes
• W. E. Deming : the 'systemic' feedback is
evaluated against organizational goals
• A meta-process that is either incremental or
« game changing »
• Kaizen: The Key to Japan's Competitive
Success (1986)[

5. Concurrent Engineering
Introduction Networks ApplicationChallenges Value
• A work methodology based on the
parallelization of tasks
• All elements of a product’s life-cycle should
be taken into consideration in design
• Design activities should be concurrent
• It replaces the more traditional ‘Waterfall
Model’.[

6. • Developed by reliability engineers in the
1950s to study potential malfunctions
• An FMEA involves inductive reasoning
around a single point of failure
• FMEA is based on experience with similar
products and processes
• Functional, Design, and Process FMEA.

7. Lean Thinking
Introduction Networks ApplicationChallenges Value
• The term "lean" was coined in the 1980s to
describe Toyota
• Creating more value for customers with
fewer resources.
• Changes the focus of management from
optimizing separate technologies to
optimizing the flow of products and services
Purpose, Process, People
