...Introduction: Lean manufacturing: Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach of identifying and eliminating waste through continuous improvement, flowing the product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection. Lean manufacturing is a comprehensive approach to eliminating waste from your operation. It is a systematic methodology that uses various tools to achieve the goal of reduced waste. The principle of lean manufacturing is to reduce cost through continuous improvement that will eventually reduce the cost of services and products, thus growing more profits. Waste: Waste can be defined as a substance or a thing that is no longer useful in a process. Waste is in fact anything that adds cost, but not value to a product. Toyota executive Taiichi Ohno identified seven types of wastes in manufacturing system, namely: Overproduction- It is considered to be the worst of the wastes, as it multiplies the other 6 wastes and hides your true capability, thereby causing you to make bad decisions such as turn work away or invest in unnecessary additional capacity. Defects- It is also pure waste as poor quality is produced. Time, energy and materials are consumed needlessly, and even if the customer is not lost, you still need to do the work again. Inventory- It is the worst of all the 7 wastes. It ties up cash, requires labor, energy and fixed assets to manage it, and moreover it provides a false sense of comfort by hiding problems. Motion- In terms of ease...

...at a geometric distribution. In the second part, the observation sequences are clustered by training HMMs for each sequence, and using agglomerative clustering. Having selected an appropriate number of clusters (chosen by the domain expert) the clusters can be used to train new HMM models. The straightforward mapping of the cluster HMMs is to a composite HMM, where each branch of the HMM corresponds to an HMM in the cluster. The authors note that the training for such an algorithm would be quite intensive. As an alternative they propose a binary tree structure, where each node in the tree is a composite HMM of two layers, each layer corresponding to a child node. The tree is a heirarchical model of the entire dataset. It is unclear how to map the agglomerative...

...1. INTRODUCTION Mind map has been defined as an expression of ''Radiant Thinking'' which is a natural function of the human mind (Tony and Barry Buzan 993). It is powerful graphic techniques which provides a universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain. The mind map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance. It has four essential characteristics. They are the subjects of attention crystallized in a central image, the mind themes of the subject radiate from the central image as branchers, and branches comprise the key word printed on associated line. Topics of lesser importance are also represented as branches attached to higher level branches and the branches from a connected nodal structure. Mind map then can be enhanced and enriched with colors, pictures, codes and dimension to add interest, beauty and individuality. These will in turn aid creativity, memory and specially the recall of information. Tony Buzan in his book mind maps for kids (2003) said that mind maps are the tool of choice to help us to get our memory tuned. Mind maps work so well because they work with two sections of our memory, which are the imagination and association. He said that mind mapping is a special form of note-taking and planning that work with your brain to make it easier for you to remember things. We must use colors and images to help get our imagination whirring and the way we draw them with words or images...
