PPM has helped project officers negotiate between stakeholders according the to the organisation’s PPM status. PPM improves organisations understanding about decisions and the consequences prior to accepting projects. This allows organisations to evaluate whether the resource is well utilised and if it isn’t, the PPM prioritisation criteria will determine whether the project is to be avoided or terminated. The maturity model which is a technique used in PPM which focuses on developing
Cox says that we need to reduce the use of air conditioning because it uses fuel to work and burning fuel results in pollution (Cox 344). Air conditioning is one of those technologies which cause global warming due to adding green house gases in the environment. But Cox neglects the benefits of having air conditioning. For instance, AC not only helps to maintain room temperature, but it also removes extra moisture from the air. (“AC also helps to clean the air by removing dust particles in the air”).
How pollution reduction policies have attempted to lessen the incidence of particulate pollution and photochemical smog. (10 marks) Particulates are tiny pieces of solids and tiny droplets of liquids floating in the air and are in a higher concentration. Photochemical smog is formed by pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, and hydrocarbons, coming into contact with UV light, which means they break down into harmful chemicals such as ozone, which forms photochemical smog. Lots of cities have tried to reduce pollution by reducing traffic; there are various ways this can be done. One of these methods is congestion charges, London adopted this method meaning any vehicle owner who wants to drive into the CBD must pay a charge to do so, this has been successful and since 2003, there has been a 15% reduction in traffic and emissions in the congestion zone.
He became Britain's most famous town planner following the publication of the report he did called 'traffic in towns' which presented a comprehensive view of the issues surrounding the growth of personal car ownership and urban traffic in the UK. (Oxford University Press, 2013) The 'traffic in towns' report was written by Buchanan when he was commisioned by the U.K government. The report showed of a new design for urban spaces across the United Kingdom. The idea was to segregate the motor vehicles from the pedestrians in order to engineer the efficient access and distribution of a growing number of vehicles and pedestrians whilst also trying to keep a good standard environment for life in the towns. (Darkes, T et al, 2009).
As with the urbanization of any area and in the past years, Homestead has experienced additional automobile emissions, waste materials and traffic congestion, to name a few. In addition, the water resources, drainage systems have also been affected. So converting a rural area into an urban one has its pros and cons. How we live in it and conserve our resources, I believe would determine that end result. Let’s discuss the positives of urbanization in Homestead at the current time.
GAAP cover such things as revenue recognition, balance sheet item classification and outstanding share measurements. Companies are expected to follow GAAP rules when reporting their financial data via financial statements. If a financial statement is not prepared using GAAP principles, be very wary! Therefore, you still need to be careful and review other financial reports which can be altered. Convergence means that the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Independent Accounting Standard-setting Body (IASB) would continue working together to develop high quality, compatible accounting standards over time.
The architecture of the cathedral dominated the town in the way that modern skyscrapers are the center civic buildings today. Many of the decorations in the cathedral such as the thousands of sculptures and beautiful stained glass windows were donated by guilds and tradespeople of the town. People visited Chartres for the fairs held on the feasts of the Virgin, a major place for trade. Townspeople also used the majestic cathedral and its grounds for business. Medieval cathedrals such as Chartres show the strength and majesty of the Catholic Church.
The Importance of Accountability 2 Accountability is of outmost importance in the military. Having accountability of gear, weapons, soldiers, and yourself is what gets the mission done. Not knowing where any of these are can be very detrimental. We do this by reporting to our chain of command, always being at the right place, right time, and right uniform. This chain of command is put in place to keep operations going smoothly in the Army, so that information is passed through as quickly and efficiently as possible.
1. Explain change management and how it helps the disaster recovery plan to be in progress. Change Management aims to ensure that standardized methods and procedures are used for efficient Handling of all changes. A change is an event that results in a new status of one or more configuration items approved by management, cost effective, enhances business process changes (fixes) with a minimum risk to IT infrastructure. The main aims of Change Management include: - Minimal disruption of services - Reduction in back-out activities - Economic utilization of resources involved in the change.
A Kanban system is a system that tells what to produce, when to produce and how much to produce. This technique can be a useful way of highlighting improvements. A kanban card signals demand for the product. Lean systems are focused on getting the right things to the right place at the right time in the right quantity to achieve perfect work flow. Lean systems do this while minimizing waste and being flexible and able to change.
