How can a scalable and efficient quality management mechanism for cloud labor services be designed in a way that it delivers results with a well-defined level of quality to the requester?

Cloud labor services are a specific form of crowdsourcing: A coordination platform serves as an interface between requesters who need to get work done and a large crowd of workers who want to perform work. An early example of such a platform is Amazon's Web marketplace Mturk, on which service requesters can publish open calls for so-called human intelligence tasks (HITs).

In diesem Buch werden bemerkenswerte, aus der betrieblichen Praxis abgeleitete Losungen des Toyota Produktionssystems (TPS) und des Materialflusses vorgestellt. Grundlegende und weiterentwickelte Steuerungsverfahren mit Kanban ermoglichen vielfaltige Konzepte. Hybrides MRP-Kanban erlaubt einen hohen Umsetzungsgrad und den Einsatz in untypischen Anwendungsbereichen, etwa im Ersatzteilbereich, der Einzelstuckfertigung oder im Supply Chain Management.

In der neuen Auflage wird mit vielen erfolgreichen Praxisbeispielen namhafter internationaler Unternehmen ein...

Exploring the concept of quality management from a new point of view, this book presents a holistic model of how consumers judge the quality of products. It links consumer perceptions of quality to the design and delivery of the final product, and presents models and methods for improving the quality of these products and services. It offers readers an improved understanding of how and why the design process must consider how the consumer will perceive a product or service. In order to facilitate the presentation and understanding of these concepts, illustrations and case examples are also...

Complex System Reliability presents a state-of-the-art treatment of complex multi-channel system reliability assessment and provides the requisite tools, techniques and algorithms for designing, evaluating and optimizing ultra-reliable redundant systems.

The book's practical presentation includes numerous fully worked examples that provide detailed explanations of both the underlying design principles and the techniques (such as combinatorial, recursive and binary decision diagram algorithms) used to obtain quantitative results. Many of the worked examples are based on the...

During its life cycle, a product produces waste that is over 20 times its weight. As such it is critical to develop products that are sustainable. Currently product development processes lack high quality methods and tools that are empirically validated to support development of sustainable products. This book is a compilation of over forty cutting edge international research papers from the 22nd CIRP International Design Conference, written by eminent researchers from 15 countries, on engineering design process, methods and tools, broadly for supporting sustainable product...
