    - The Secret Weapon to Making a Difference in Business
    av Adrian Webster
    178,-

    TINY NOTICEABLE THINGSDISCOVER HOW TINY CHANGES AND ACTIONS CAN REVOLUTIONISE CUSTOMER AND EMPLOYEE SATISFACTIONTNTs are Tiny Noticeable Things. People don't need to do them, but when they do, they can have a phenomenal and explosive impact. From remembering someone's first name and recalling how they prefer to take their coffee, to sending someone a handwritten 'thank you' note, they are all the little cost-nothing engagers that create the biggest, longest-lasting impressions. They show you care, they blow people away, and they make a very big difference.In Tiny Noticeable Things, best-selling author Adrian Webster shares his ideas along with the personal experiences of over 100 contributors to help you harness the power of TNTs and take your organisation and personal relationships to the next level.Discover the tiny tweaks that elevate the most successful teams to astounding heights, find out what makes employees genuinely happy, hear from customers about the subtle 'human' touches that have put smiles on their faces, and gain invaluable insights into how just the smallest of things can give such a positive lift to those around us.If you want to differentiate yourself, don't overlook the TNTs!WARNING - THIS BOOK COULD SERIOUSLY IMPACT YOUR BUSINESS'I often say at work no-one can help everyone but everyone can help someone. I once had one of three hundred volunteers on a community build say "I can't believe there's generosity on such a scale." The truth was each of those people gave what they could but the sum of those individual gifts of time and skill built a facility that changed vulnerable people's lives. That for me is what TNTs are all about.'Nick Knowles - TV Presenter & Motivational Speaker

Finally, it shows readers how to achieve the "Freedom Formula" of 25x your annual spending - that can set you free.Perfect for anyone who hopes to make their future financially brighter than their present, or help their own children avoid mistakes they made, Happy Ever After has a playful tone, featuring a spoiled princess and talking frog, hand-illustrated to help explain some of the trickier ideas that can help change your life.

  • - A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability
    av Trinath Sahoo
    1 708

    Root Cause Failure AnalysisProvides the knowledge and failure analysis skills necessary for preventing and investigating process equipment failuresProcess equipment and piping systems are essential for plant availability and performance. Regularly exposed to hazardous service conditions and damage mechanisms, these critical plant assets can result in major failures if not effectively monitored and assessed--potentially causing serious injuries and significant business losses. When used proactively, Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) helps reliability engineers inspect the process equipment and piping system before any abnormal conditions occur. RCFA is equally important after a failure happens: it determines the impact of a failure, helps control the resultant damage, and identifies the steps for preventing future problems.Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability offers readers clear understanding of degradation mechanisms of process equipment and the concepts needed to perform industrial RCFA investigations. This comprehensive resource describes the methodology of RCFA and provides multiple techniques and industry practices for identifying, predicting, and evaluating equipment failures. Divided into two parts, the text first introduces Root Cause Analysis, explains the failure analysis process, and discusses the management of both human and latent error. The second part focuses on failure analysis of various components such as bolted joints, mechanical seals, steam traps, gearboxes, bearings, couplings, pumps, and compressors. This authoritative volume:* Illustrates how failures are associated with part integrity, a complete system, or the execution of an engineering process* Describes how proper design, operation, and maintenance of the equipment help to enhance their reliability* Covers analysis techniques and industry practices including 5-Why RCFA, fault tree analysis, Pareto charts, and Ishikawa diagrams* Features a detailed case study of process plant machinery and a chapter on proactive measures for avoiding failuresBridging the gap between engineering education and practical application, Root Cause Failure Analysis: A Guide to Improve Plant Reliability is an important reference and guide for industrial professionals, including process plant engineers, planning managers, operation and maintenance engineers, process designers, chemical engineers, and instrument engineers. It is also a valuable text for researchers, instructors, and students in relevant areas of engineering and science.
