process

Examples of process in the following topics:

• Introduction to the Writing Process

• Processes

  • A process is defined as: (1) a series of progressive, interrelated steps or actions from which an end result is attained, or (2) a prescribed procedure or a method of conducting affairs.
  • Either way, processes form the belief systems, philosophies or thought patterns that constitute the work environments in which goods and services are manufactured (seen from this angle, a business process can also be referred to as a ‘business model' or ‘the way we do things around here').
  • Most practitioners agree that for any business process to function properly, total commitment from all involved is mandatory.
  • Success is also reliant upon a perfect fit between the process, its product, and the business's customers.

• Process Art

  • Process art is concerned with actual creation and how actions can be defined as art, seeing the expression of the artistic process as more significant than the art that is created by the process.
  • Process art often focuses on motivation, intent, and the rationale, with art viewed as a creative journey or process rather than needing to lead to a traditional fine art object destination.
  • The process art movement began in the U.S. and Europe in the mid-1960s.
  • Change, transience, and embracing serendipity are themes in process art.
  • Differentiate the focus of Process Art with that of product-focused artists.

• The Importance of Productivity

  • The main processes of a company are:
  • Real process and production process are often seen as focal points in efficiency, but monetary concerns and market value are also very important.
  • Real process - Real process generates the production output from input.
  • Production process - Production process is the real process and the income distribution process.
  • Monetary and market value processes - Monetary process refers to financing a business and the inputs of production.

• Constant Pressure and Volume

  • Isobaric process is one in which a gas does work at constant pressure, while an isochoric process is one in which volume is kept constant.
  • A process in which a gas does work on its environment at constant pressure is called an isobaric process, while one in which volume is kept constant is called an isochoric process.
  • An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure.
  • This process is called an isobaric expansion .
  • An isochoric process is also known as an isometric process or an isovolumetric process.

• Chance Processes

  • In probability theory, a stochastic process--sometimes called a random process-- is a collection of random variables that is often used to represent the evolution of some random value, or system, over time.
  • It is the probabilistic counterpart to a deterministic process (or deterministic system).
  • The law of a stochastic process is the measure that the process induces on the collection of functions from the index set into the state space.
  • The law encodes a lot of information about the process.
  • Summarize the stochastic process and state its relationship to random walks.

• Types of Organizational Change

  • Business process re-engineering (BPR) is a business management strategy first pioneered in the early 1990s that focuses on the analysis and design of workflows and processes within an organization.
  • Re-engineering emphasizes a holistic focus on business objectives and how processes relate to them, encouraging full-scale recreation of processes rather than iterative optimization of sub-processes.
  • Business process re-engineering is also known as business process redesign, business transformation, and business process change management.
  • Improving the manufacturing process of each of these integral components one at a time to cut costs and improve process efficiency overall is incremental change.
  • Technological change (TC) describes the overall process of invention, innovation, and diffusion of technology or processes.

• Serial and Parallel Processing

  • Serial memory processing compares a memory to a target stimulus, while parallel processing carries out multiple operations simultaneously.
  • Serial memory processing is the act of attending to and processing one item at a time, while parallel memory processing is the act of attending to and processing all items simultaneously.
  • Participants may process some serial memory sets using the self-terminating method and others with the exhaustive method.
  • Parallel processing is the ability to carry out multiple operations or tasks simultaneously.
  • In parallel processing, the brain simultaneously processes incoming stimuli of differing quality.

• New product: the tangible rim on the wheel

  • Start by process mapping all of the organization's processes by creating a process log.Utilize a word processing software program which has auto shapes that features a "flowchart."
  • There are many books and publications about process mapping and there are multiple ways to process map.
  • Take the final list and divide it into two categories: repetitive processes and rare processes.
  • Rare processes occur infrequently.

• Metallurgy

  • These specialties are generically grouped into the categories of mineral processing:
  • Since many size reduction and separation processes involve the use of water, solid-liquid separation processes are part of mineral processing.
  • Often, the ore must be pretreated by various mineral processing steps and sometimes by pyrometallurgical processes.
  • Often, however, energy must be added to the process by combustion of fuel or, in the case of some smelting processes, by the direct application of electrical energy.
  • Electrowinning is an electrolysis process used to recover metals in aqueous solution, usually as the result of an ore having undergone one or more hydrometallurgical processes.
