George Dantzig. George Bernard Dantzig ( / ˈdæntsɪɡ /; November 8, 1914 – May 13, 2005) was an American mathematical scientist who made contributions to industrial engineering, operations research, computer science, economics, and statistics . Dantzig is known for his development of the simplex algorithm, [1] an algorithm for solving ...
PDCA. PDCA or plan–do–check–act (sometimes called plan–do–check–adjust) is an iterative design and management method used in business for the control and continual improvement of processes and products. [1] It is also known as the Shewhart cycle, or the control circle / cycle. Another version of this PDCA cycle is OPDCA. [2]
The Thinker by Rodin (1840–1917), in the garden of the Musée Rodin. In their most common sense, the terms thought and thinking refer to conscious cognitive processes that can happen independently of sensory stimulation. Their most paradigmatic forms are judging, reasoning, concept formation, problem solving, and deliberation.
Collective action problem.

Klopp and Salah were involved in a touchline confrontation during the 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday. Nearly a week later, Klopp said the matter was a “non-story.” Klopp says he has 'no ...
Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields. The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue ...
A new study found that aerobic exercise helped improve cognitive function in young and middle-aged people. The researchers found the study participants' problem-solving skills improved after they ...
Root cause analysis. In science and engineering, root cause analysis ( RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. [1] It is widely used in IT operations, manufacturing, telecommunications, industrial process control, accident analysis (e.g., in aviation, [2] rail transport, or nuclear plants ...
