ESSENTIALS OF CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
Full of valuable tips, techniques, illustrative real-world examples, exhibits, and best practices, this handy and concise paperback will help you stay up to date on the newest thinking, strategies, developments, and technologies in capacity management.
"Proper capacity management is the driving force behind outstanding corporate performance.
Essentials of Capacity Management clearly describes its impact on operations, as well as how to use measurement systems and process analysis to enhance capacity usage. This is a solid foundation in capacity management for the business professional!"
—Steve Bragg, Author
"Although capacity management is a fundamental concern, it-like many other fundamentals-is often scanted. In fact, there's little that's more important to most companies than their ability to manage their capacity, which is simply the ability to do work.
Essentials of Capacity Management does a great job of giving a quick, yet thorough, overview of the many considerations involved."
—Barry J. Brinker, Editor, Guide to Cost Management (John Wiley & Sons)
"This book does an excellent job of relating processes to capacity. Managers and executives will better understand that managing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes reduces the amount of capacity required, thus providing an opportunity to reduce costs while improving process quality and reducing process time. It shows the relationship of capacity to demand on downstream processes. It shows that process flexibility reduces required capacity."
—John Antos, President, Value Creation Group, Inc.
The Wiley Essentials Series-because the business world is always changing...and so should you.

From the author: The authors present a case study on the use of the 10-essential-services framework to build capacity in a local environmental health agency. The framework can be applied to conduct an environmental health assessment, make organizational change, and expand environmental health capacity at the local level in a way that has a national impact. Examples of environmental health capacity-building efforts include vector surveillance, community education and outreach, workforce development, and research. The case study highlights the lessons learned from use of the 10-essential-services framework to improve environmental health services in Multnomah County, Oregon.

From the author: Nationally, environmental public health programs have been struggling to find ways to measure their capacity to carry out the 10 essential public health services. The ability to make this kind of measurement is crucial to showing the benefits of local, state, and federal funding of environmental public health programs. It is also crucial to the continuation of this funding. One local health department in Pennsylvania, the Allegheny County Health Department, implemented use of the National Public Health Performance Standards as a mechanism for measuring current performance in carrying out the 10 essential services as well as to set a benchmark for improving capacity in areas of environmental health practice. By using these standards as a tool for assessing current performance, the health department was able to focus on strengthening areas in which little or no capacity was reported. This process made it possible to set priorities and allocate resources to improve the delivery of environmental health services. The tool was re-used two years later to measure the impact this capacity-building activity had on improving the ability of the environmental health program to carry out the 10 essential services.

Book Description
The Advanced Planner and Optimiser (APO) is the software from SAP dedicated to supply chain management. This book provides an overview about the supported SCM processes and explains how to implement APO in a company. It is written from a long years' experience in implementation projects and provides project managers and team members with the necessary know-how for a successful implementation project. The focus of the book is on introducing modelling approaches and explaining the structure and interdependencies of systems, modules and entities of APO based on the release mySAP SCM 4.1. Another concern is the integration with R/3, both technically and from a process point of view. Since APO projects differ significantly from other SAP projects, some key issues and common mistakes concerning project management are mentioned as well.

APO Concepts.......2007-01-25
It's the best book about APO I've ever read. For people that already have an idea of APO principles, it's a mix of technical and practical concepts. I recommend.
Good Overview of APO.......2006-08-24
Very useful information on APO. I have been an APO consultant for several years, and its a good source of information. Lots of information that is not readily available or known without searching for it. Recommended.

Book Description
With brilliant clarity, Jonathan Sarfati, author of the best-selling Refuting Evolution (1 and 2) has produced a comprehensive and ringing refutation of the position of "progressive creationist" Hugh Ross, whose views are causing massive confusion about science and the Bible. This book is one of the most powerful biblical and scientific defenses of a straightforward view of Genesis creation ever written.
Customer Reviews:
Sola Scriptura.......2007-05-24
Dr. Sarfati has done a brillant job of refutation in this book. He lays bare the nonsense of finite opinions against infinite revelation.
I'd just like Dr. Hugh Ross and all the self proclaimed science critics to please explain how they can 'know' that the earth is 4.5 billion years old? I mean how can they possibly 'know' they have the absolute true and final answer? Just what do they compare their calculated ages to? Just what 4.5 billion year old object of 'proven known age' do they calibrate their methods and instuments against anyway? How can they possibly know they have the right answer? Their attempt to prove the age of the earth is insane and a philosophical category mistake. Finite man beginning with himself as referent can never know the true age of earth!
Well, I guess the only sane, logical and rational answer is that science is never final, it only is an 'approximation'of the truth or science can only assert that it is only 'probable' that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Science and scientists take great pride in dealing only with the facts, right; quantification is the rule.
Ok then, please quantify how 'approximate' 4.5 billion years is to the true age of the earth and what is the 'probability' that this approximation is approximate to WHAT? Please post your calculations and explain how you got there so any thinking person can have a good laugh!
Very good.......2007-03-14
To Carl the reviewer below me: A ranting of mere insults and a pretentious use of big words doesn't impress me or any saved Christian. Stop babbling and be scientific.
About the book:
Why the four stars? Dr. Sarfati teaches the Earth is about 6000 years old which is an age based on Bishop Ussher's mistaken chronology of things. Earth is more then double that age and that can be shown from various clues in Scripture.
Great overview - don't believe the negative reviews.......2007-03-11
This book is very helpful for getting your arms around the overview of the evidence against the compromise view of 'progressive creationism,' made popular recently by the bizarrely inconsistent (unscientific & unbiblical) astronomer Hugh Ross.
Sarfati lays out the inconsistencies, both scientifically and Biblically, of the 'progressive creationism' ideology (and all non-literal ideologies), in a way even a novice creationist may understand.
Don't believe the negative reviews from pseudo-scientific religionists (yes, evolution IS a religion...and requires MUCH more 'faith' than believing the Bible).
Embarassingly bad.......2006-11-07
I stopped reading materials published by Answers in Genesis and the Institute for Creation Research after reading an article on the ICR web site that claims the speed of light has slowed down over the last few thousand years. That is absolutely preposterous and insulting to any reasonably intelligent person. Mathematics is not a science of ambiguity. I am not less of a Christian or believer because I use the brain God gave me to think about things. But the pseudo-science propagated by these folks is embarassing and makes Christians look bad. The personal attack against Hugh Ross is unnecessary and renders this book as the work of an amateur. I enjoy Ross' work because he simply looks at nature and science, from the point of view of "God made this...and it is magnificent". His work is not about attacking other people.
Refuting Reality: Medieval Babble as Popularized by Johathan Sarfati.......2006-09-30
"Refuting Compromise" completes Sarfati's tendentious trilogy of fundamentalist Young Earth Creationism (YEC) pulp-fiction. Companion volumes (reviewed separately) include "Refuting Evolution" and Refuting Evolution 2." Chronicling the inane and irresolvable partisan spat between young and old earth creationists brings Shakespeare to mind - "it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Normally I wouldn't read or review tripe like this - but medieval dogmas so corrosive and inimical to a reality-based worldview require rigorous rebuke and reprobation. Before resorting to fundamentalist newspeak bible-babble Sarfati takes a short detour by way of character assassination and trashes Hugh Ross, a leading proponent of the Old Earth Creationism. A scientifically literate secularist could at least establish a dialog with Ross. Any conversation with Sarfati would founder on rocky crags of rampant superstition, magical thinking, and a hermetically sealed hermeneutic with no explanatory or predictive power whatsoever.
As an employee of Answers in Genesis (AiG) Sarfati had to sign a "Statement of Faith" that, among other things, includes the following:
BASICS ARTICLE 3: "The account of origins presented in Genesis is a simple but factual presentation of actual events and therefore provides a reliable framework for scientific research into the question of the origin and history of life, mankind, the Earth and the universe."
GENERAL ARTICLE 6: "No apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record."
Discerning the nature of reality challenges human intellect even when armed with the formidable tools of science, philosophy, and reason. By signing this statement Sarfati has unconditionally surrendered to intensely subjective and unverifiable special revelation. In pithier terms he's chosen to bring a knife to a gun fight.
Sarfati glorifies his abject surrender to biblical primacy and special revelation hallucination. His capitulation is spectacular, vile, and misguided. Any book written by an omniscient being should contain scientific (and other) information about the universe that, after two thousand years of continuous use, would still be the richest source of insight humanity has ever known. It would contain an unambiguous account of the cosmos that would moot the entire YEC versus OEC debate. Instead, this book contains no credible discussion of science (or morality for that matter) and some obvious scientific (and moral) errors. The faithful, including Sarfati, have found ways of rationalizing around this - but those rationalizations cannot conceal the obvious deficiency of the Bible as a source of scientific or historical insight. It does not contain a single sentence that could not have been written by a man or woman living during the Bronze or Iron Age. This fact should deeply trouble Sarfati and the entire YEC "creation science" claque. Chapters 1 - 10 manically tarantella dances illusory angles on the head of this mythical biblical pin.
The pitiful "creation science" evidence cribbed into the latter portion of "Refuting Compromise" regurgitates erroneous hypothesis and junk findings wished into existence by the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) group - a collective of various crank-science Young Earth Creationists whose shallow litany of fallacious non-peer reviewed arguments includes: Helium diffusion in zircon crystals, C14 in coal and diamonds, and my personal favorite - Polonium halos. Although this drivel occasionally hoodwinks unwary biblical literalists the scientific community (ranging from evangelicals to atheists) remains unimpressed. Sarfati also swills deeply from the capacious trough of ignorance and superstitious fancy promulgated by Answers in Genesis, a delusional creation-cult masquerading as a ministry to which he, utilizing sperm bank euphemism, makes deposits.
Does the fringe theology and make believe "science" championed by this book justify overturning centuries of spectacular advances in cosmology, astronomy, physics, geology, paleontology, chemistry, and biology? Should we overthrow reason and embrace a new post-modern medievalism as we hurtle toward a second Dark Age? Absolutely not.
Sarfati can't even present a valid case, let alone make it. Farce is tragedy the second or third time around, and so is this book.

Ozone Diplomacy: New Directions in Safeguarding the Planet, Enlarged Edition
ASIN: 0763710741 |
Book Description
Chemistry Fundamentals: An Environmental Perspective, Second Edition aims to guide students to the knowledge that humans live in a chemical environment and that chemistry affects every aspect of our lives. The text emphasizes that all living and non-living parts of our environment are made up of chemicals, and that the natural processes continuously occurring in the environment all involve chemical reactions. With a grasp of this notion of interdependence, students begin to see that without some understanding of chemistry, it is impossible to fully understand environmental issues such as ozone depletion, global warming, air and water pollution, and the hazards of radioactivity.

Five Stars? Phu-lease!!.......2003-09-12
Unreadable, moronic mess. This was one of the few times that I relied heavily on reviews to purchase this book. Big mistake!! If you look for something intelligent, witty and, above all, funny on a midlife crisis, you won't find in this book. In the donation bag before I could finish it.
Unbelievable!.......2003-04-20
This book is way over the top. The funniest book I've ever read, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a great read. Without spoiling it for anyone, this Rocky character should have her own television show. She comes up with comments that just blew me out of the water. Methane Madness was my favorite chapter. Right after that is the Attack of The Renegade Gophers. Man, I hope she does a follow up for this book.
An excellent buy.......2003-03-21
I have the e-book of this and enjoyed it very much. It is both funny and I found it hard to stop reading it. I hope others will also feel the same way about this book as I do. A good buy and a great read. This is from a new author and in my opinion is one of the best and deserves the proper reconigtion that goes along with any successfull book. Again I hope all that buy this enjoys it as much as I have.
An excellent buy.......2003-03-21
I found this book to be funny and hard to but down. I hope all those that read enjoy it as much as I did.
Middle Aged Funny.......2003-03-21
Donna Dakotah really nails down middle age with humour.
I laughed until I cried, one of the best books I have read in a long time. Each character can be found in every family. From the job obsessed daughter to the go with the flow husband and the screeching grandchild. Car trips will never be the same.
Las Vegas will never be the same.
A must read for any women or men over 40 and especially for the younger generation to know that it isn't so bad.
I look forward to other books by Ms Dakotah
