Sigma Gamma Rho

Step-5: Classification of product families: The DMs chose the group with 17 product families because the commonality was adequate, the product families formed were compatible with the grouping logic of the company and the results were applicable. The commonality of the group with 17 product families was found to be 0.695, while its efficiency was 4.09%. At this stage when 17 product families were obtained, 7 product families (19 products) were assigned to the "innovative" family, while 1 product…

Recently, it was decided that all state government employees needed to complete Lean Six Sigma White Belt training. Essentially, this training is designed to combine Lean’s methods for reducing waste and maximizing flow in processes and Six Sigma’s methods for using measurement tools to decrease the variations that lead to inefficiency in processes. These concepts can be incredibly useful for government agencies, because government agencies are often extremely inefficient and behind the times…

improvement methods are tools that provides clinicians to identify problems, measure the problems, develop a range of interventions designed to fix the problem, and test if interventions worked or not. The quality initiative processes such as Six Sigma, lean, and total quality management (TQM) are tools that capable to solve many operational problems in healthcare organization. The patient care would improve by utilizing quality improvement methods and tools to minimize errors in healthcare.…

during his lifetime. However, by estimation, stay in space on long-term mission over 500 days, astronauts may exposed above 1 Gy (1 Sv). The long term exposure would ultimately result in cancer with much higher chance on the earth that encountered by gamma and…

Nuclear chemistry is unsafe and because the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, it should not be used in modern day technology and science. With its ability to remain for hundreds to thousands of years, and with no safe place to store it, it sucks up space and money. Additionally, the transplant of nuclear waste can be a mark for terrorism, making it even more unsafe. Nuclear, radioactive, radiation, nuclear waste; what do these words bring to mind? Most would think of a superhero, or a deformed…

society at large. Can you imagine that the orderly process of replacing damaged cells into new cells in your body stops? This is what happens with people who get cancer and if their treatment is not done fast, it can lead to death. Gamma knife therapy uses cobalt-60’s gamma radiation to destroy cancerous growth. In this paper, I will reflect on the research on cobalt-60 and its impact in the field of cancer, its impact on society and its pros and cons. “Cobalt was discovered in 1735 by a…

In conducting this experiment, the hope was to identify if there was a relationship between distance from a radioactive source and its radioactivity. Within this radiation lab experiment, we put the following hypothesis to the test: If the distance from the source, in centimeters, is increased then the Ionizing Radiation does is expected to decrease because the radiation decreases as it gets farther away from the radiation emitter, due to the loss of energy from the radioactive particles as…

even research. Gamma rays are also use by medical doctors to create radioactive tracers, that allows them explore a patient’s body without having to perform surgery. Gamma rays are also use to treat different types of cancers and tumors. Although, gamma rays have the capability to target and eradicate cancer cells they can also damage…

Radiation is often seen by individuals as a substance that is rare and uncommon. Others believe that it only comes from nuclear bombs. However, that isn’t the case. It is found in everything from the soils that people walk on every day, to the walls and floors inside their homes. There’s radiation found in food and water that are consumed by people on a day-to-day basis. It is found within the gases inside the Earth’s atmosphere, and from cosmic rays from space ("Radiation in Everyday Life").…

Radiology Research paper Scientist Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally discovered X-rays while studying the pathway of electricity. He realized this when he saw objects in the picture that wouldn’t usually appear in a normal photograph. Roentgen’s discovery was soon after, advanced further by Dr. Harvey Cushing in the first diagnostic clinical X-ray. 1902 was the first year they were used for ground breaking brain surgery, he used the technology to view and assist removing malignant and non-malignant…
