Water Supply
The Dearth of Research on Water Supply Infrastructure Security as it Relates to Healthcare Operations
There are several contributing factors to the lack of research and empirical information regarding water supply infrastructure and how its security relates to and should be viewed by healthcare organizations. One of the primary and most simple of these causes is the expense of conducting empirical research on a community water supply system, and the practicality of conducting such research. Few healthcare organizations have the necessary finding to conduct such research themselves, and when communities can afford to fund the research (which is also rare, without federal assistance), the often cannot afford to implement the necessary infrastructure changes as recommended by the research (Briscoe 1983). This makes the expense of conducting the research hardly worthwhile, especially in the communities and situation where it is most needed.
A second and less obvious problem is the appropriation of available human resources, specifically of reputable researchers to generate such information in domestic projects. Water infrastructure and safety issues are far more pressing in the developing world, and large numbers of research teams and laboratories are engaged in developing better and safer water system in Africa and much of Latin America (Helmholz 2009). A lack of clean drinking water and reliable systems is a growing problem in much of the world, and so attention is shifted away from infrastructure issues in the developed world to where there is a greater need (Helmholz 2009). This leads to a lack of research in domestic water supply infrastructure issues.

Type A Project: Team of 3-4 students will study a manufacturing or service company operation; the objective is to improve the equality of their final product. This could be done through improving any task in product realization process (Design, raw material, manufacturing, packaging, after sale …). The subject of the improvement has to be directly related to quality. The team will use quality analysis and improvement methods / techniques we learn

In the book, Project management: strategic design and implementation, David I. Cleland and Lewis R. Ireland report "a review of the results of projects in antiquity reveals evidence about how several historical projects originated and developed" (p. 4). 1. The first of this type of evidence, known as artifacts, typically came from human workmanship. These could have been structures, tools, weapons, or items of substance of archeological or historical interest.
Executive Summary In this paper, beverage giant, the Coca-Cola Company, has been analyzed. An internal as well as external analysis of the company has been undertaken using the following analytical tools: PESTEL, SWOT and Porter’s Five Forces. The 5-factor analysis has revealed: medium threat of new entrants, medium to high threat of substitute products, low supplier and buyer bargaining power, and high level of rivalry with its chief competitor, PepsiCo. SWOT analysis
