Vilfredo Pareto

Vilfredo Pareto and Robert Michels are both Neo-Machiavellian thinkers who are also both classical elite theorists. In this essay I am going to compare and contrast the ideas formed by these two thinkers. Pareto conducted very little sociological thinking; with his ideas consisting primarily of psychological theoretical assertions with no tests done whatsoever on these ideas. He rarely makes a point from historical deduction. He stresses the intellectual and psychological supremacy of elites

It’s not possible to control time, but we can manage the time we’re given. Time management is the ability to plan and control how we spend the hours in our day to effectively accomplish our goals. For college students, especially freshmen who may be left on their own for the first time, or the adult learner, who has additional family and work requirements to juggle, good time management is a necessity. Studies cite poor time management as a major contributor of college dropout rates, and without

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction to Quality and Quality Control Quality is relative term and it is generally explain with reference to the end use of the product. The components is said to be of good quality if it works well in the equipment for which it is meant. • Quality is defined as fitness for the purpose. • Quality is the degree of customer satisfaction. • Quality signifies the degree of general excellence of a product. • Quality is the degree to which a product meets the requirements

efforts show that employees are doing good work, the supervisor should praise their performance. Employees who are confident and satisfied are less likely to allow defects in goods or services. b) Standard Setting and Enforcement If employees and others are to support the quality-control effort, they must know exactly what is expected of them. This calls for quality standards. In many cases, the supervisor is responsible for setting quality standards as well as for communicating and enforcing them

Our topic is a very global one. For this reason, we will only explain few of the strategies we will focus on during the training. Indeed, for us some strategies are more important than other, this is why we won’t talk a lot about the tips for both home and work. Here are the main categories of exercises the instructor will provide the managers during the training: A. Manage your time • The urgent/important matrix This matrix is a very important tool to teach people how to manage their time and

way a destination is set in order to make the best use of time. When setting goals, they should be put in writing and reviewed frequently. From these goals, a daily “to-do” list should be used within the workplace. By referencing Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto’s 80/20 rule , 80 percent of what happens in the workplace is the result of 20 percent effort. This would mean by incorporating goals, someone can be 80 percent effective, by simply accomplishing completion for 20 percent of

Variety of Work, Challenge, Achievement, Recognition, Relationships, and Autonomy/Freedom. The relative importance of these motivators would variety for each individual. Armed with these motivators at the start of a project he invites team members to prioritise these factors using a “paired-comparisons” table, since knowing individual’s motivational drives helps him determine appropriate work assignments and reward systems. To be more useful, once an individual priority of needs (or hierarchy)

enlists all the factors which constitute a benchmark. (Hopen) 2. Pareto Chart: Arranges all categories in a descending order, i.e. from highest to lowest, to signify which is of the highest frequency or priority. Pareto rule states that 80% of the issues are usually caused by 20% of the factors and if these are correctly identified and remedied, then most of the issues can be mitigated. (Pareto Chart) Figure 2: Sample Pareto Chart 3. Affinity Diagram: These help to determine the set of issues

above, a set of useful tools called the Magnificent Seven can be used. The Magnificent Seven or the Seven Quality Control (7QC) tools are graphical statistical tools and methods for continuous improvement. A list of the tools is presented here: • Pareto Charts • Cause and Effect diagram • Flow
