    Applicant Tracking Systems : The Job Hunter's Friend or Foe?
    Every job seeker wants to gain as much exposure to job openings as possible, so by “snail mail” or email, off go r?sum?s to recruiters, job ads, company web pages, or the companies themselves in the hope that someone will review them.Ah, but unfortunately, in terms of initial screening, that “someone” has been increasingly replaced by an “it”: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).You see, thanks mostly to the Internet, companies and recruiters today are being increasingly inundated by r?sum?s
    the production staffs, also to the team members. Now that the solution seem working alright, the team should move into the the CONTROL PHASE which will be my next article.

    How I Became A Successful (Part-Time) Import/Export Agent
    Several years ago, when I was invited to sit on the board of Wade World Trade, an educational institution established in 1946 to help entrepreneurs become import/export agents, I thought I would try it out for myself. I have to say that although I am not a natural entrepreneur (I hate anything which smacks of ‘selling’) I have never regretted the decision.My first challenge was to find something to import or export. After much thought I decided I had to pick an area I was interested in anyway so I chose f
    This TQM article, is a continuation from Part 5a published on [June 01, 2006 08:10:51 pm]. I will share about problem or difficulties faced by the team when they use the tools in the IMPROVE PHASE. Let’s see how we can handle problem or difficulties with Control lot and testing and Pilot the action / solution tools in the D.A.I.C. methodology for Improvement.

    Just to recap, tools used in the IMPROVE Phase are listed below. In this article, I will cover the tools in bold:

    Brainstorming of action / solution | Selection Grid | Benchmarking | Cost-Benefit Analysis| Control lot and testing | Pilot the action / solution | Force-Field Analysis | Prevention Planner

    Problem with Control Lot and Testing

      It is quite a challenge to use this tool not the tool itself but the planning go with it when need to run a control lot. First of all, the team need to consider several issues namely; Size of the control lot, duration of run, what parameter need to confirm, who will be involved, when to run it? Which shift to run it, and how is data to be collected. Due to lack of experience, the team struggle with it

      I had a case where the team needs to confirm 4 process parameters. When the control lot is in progress, team members set the 4 parameters at the same time then data is collected. At the end of the run, data collected are not useful to make any correlation as they did not provide any pattern.

    How to Overcome Control Lot and Testing Problem

      Team need to understand the inter-relationship between each of the four parameters and how it influences the coating thickness. By requirement, the team needs to run four control lots for each of the parameter as a variable separately. In another word, the team needs to adjust one parameter setting with the rest the three locked. The idea is to see the effect of one parameter to the thickness by turn.

    Problem with Pilot the action / solution

      During the case of coating thickness, the team has confirmed the various setting after the control lot run. During the pilot run, team run into trouble even though all the four parameter wee set according to the new requirements. Production supervisor may over react and set the four parameters back to the old setting. It did not help either. As a result, reject for coating thickness increased dramatically.
    How to Overcome Pilot the action / solution Problem
      When conducting the pilot run, team member must be around to work with the production supervisor to give him confidence about the new settings. When things might go wrong, team members need to verify other process parameters before any change to the control lot parameter are changed. Team members need to explain to the production supervisor that process parameters are sensitive to influence the outcome of the product. Therefore, all process parameters must be set in accordance to standards.

    In summary, to minimise problem arising from changes to proicess parameters, communication play an important role. A briefing to the objective of the pilot would help to munimise surprise not only to the production staffs, also to the team members. Now that the solution seem working alright, the team should move into the the CONTROL PHASE which will be my next article.

    6 Tips On Choosing A Subprime Lender
    A subprime or hard money lender is an institution or person who lends money to people who normal lenders , banks , and financial institutions will refuse to lend. A subprime lender offers mortgage loans to people with a bad credit history, those who have no down payment, and those who cannot prove their incomes. The loans are high risk and so the lending or interest rates are usually much higher than traditional mortgage rates. In addition a subprime lender will charge higher fees on the loan.A subprime

    Architect - Do You Want To Become One?
    Architecture became an organized profession by mid-nineteenth century. In the year 1837, The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) was established. This was formed in order to improve the art and science of architecture in Britain. Furthermore, it was established in order to highlight the effects of architecture in the towns and cities. Twenty years after, The American Institute of Architects was also founded following the examples of the British. The Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris was the main influe

    Rewarding Award Plaques
    When you think about contests or other various events when human skill or genius is being acknowledge, there are always various types of award plaques that are being handed out to either the contest winners or just to the persons who are being honored at a certain event.In spite of the awarding ceremony being a small part of the whole program, the award plaques are clearly an important part of the whole event.

    Listening to Customers - 5 Tips
    In a strange juxtapositioning of articles, this month's UK 'Management Today' has three pieces, relating to the importance of listening to customers.Susan Rice, CEO of Lloyds TSB makes it clear how vital it is for great leaders to listen and hear. She uses the example of how Coca Cola was swift to 'hear' it's customers when they revolted against New Coke back in 1985 (good job too, it was yuk!). She also rails against the viability of change p
