Transition Methodology is the process of migrating knowledge, systems, and operating capabilities from an outsourcing environment to an in house staff. Transition management starts with the preparation of the outsourced offshore site to commence client operations through documenting the processes, training process executives to execute the processes, designing, procuring and deploying technology and bandwidth to access client systems as required and finally fulfill the Service Level Agreement SLA and contact parameters. The overall success of the outsourcing engagement is very much dependent on the effectiveness of the transition. At an organizational level an outsourcing project would involve the tangible changes in structure, processes, technology, culture that the organization would go through to go from the current state to the desired future state. At the individual level, it would involve the process individuals to the new way of working. Approach Transition Methodology typical employs a four to five phased approach, with each phase consisting of one or more tasks producing at least one deliverable and completion criteria that must be met in order to progress to the next phase. The milestones and deliverables produced by these tasks provide an ongoing quality review process that checks that the final product will meet expectations. Discovery Assessment Solution Design Planning Testing & Pilot Service Assumption Steady State Turnover Implementation The transition team executes a formal hand off to the steady state Project management office PMO and confirms that the service operations are stable and measure and report service performance. Ideally, the transition team remains engaged through the actualization period when service has stabilized.

5S is the name of a workplace organization methodology that uses a list of five Japanese language Japanese words which are seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu and shitsuke. Transliteration Transliterated or translated into English language English , they all start with the letter S . The list describes how items are stored and how the new order is maintained. The decision making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization which builds a clear understanding among employees of how work should be done. It also instills ownership of the process in each employee. Phases of 5S There are 5 primary phases of 5S sorting, straightening, systematic cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining. Additionally, there are three other phases sometimes included safety, security, and satisfaction. Sorting Seiri Eliminate all unnecessary tools, parts, and instructions. Go through all tools, materials, and so forth in the plant and work area. Keep only essential items and eliminate what is not required, prioritizing things as per requirements and keeping them in easily accessible places. Everything else is stored or discarded. Straightening or setting in order stabilize Seiton There should be a place for everything and everything should be in its place. The place for each item should be clearly labeled or demarcated. Items should be arranged in a manner that promotes efficient work flow, with equipment used most often being the most easily accessible. Workers should not have to bend repetitively to access materials. Each tool, part, supply, or piece of equipment should be kept close to where it will be used in other words, straightening the flow path. Seiton is one of the features that distinguishes 5S from standardized cleanup . This phase can also be referred to as Simplifying ref http ... item in an efficiency focused business methodology.

In statistics, response surface methodology RSM explores the relationships between several explanatory variable s and one or more response variable s. The method was introduced by George EP Box G. E. P. Box and K. B. Wilson in 1951. The main idea of RSM is to use a sequence of design of experiments designed experiments to obtain an optimal response. Box and Wilson suggest using a Degree of a polynomial second degree polynomial model to do this. They acknowledge that this model is only an approximation, but use it because such a model is easy to estimate and apply, even when little is known about the process. Basic approach of response surface methodology An easy way to estimate a first degree polynomial model is to use a factorial experiment or a fractional factorial design s. This is sufficient to determine which explanatory variables have an impact on the response variable s of interest. Once it is suspected that only significant explanatory variables are left, then a more complicated design, such as a central composite design can be implemented to estimate a second degree polynomial model, which is still only an approximation at best. However, the second degree model can be used ... surface methodology textbooks of Box and Draper and of Atkinson, Donev and Tobias.

UK Office of Government Commerce http www.google.com search?hl en&lr &q 22Value Measuring Methodology ...Value Measuring Methodology or VMM is a tool that helps planner s balance both tangible and intangible values when making investment decisions , and monitor benefits. Formal methods to calculate the Return on investment ROI have been widely understood and used for a long time, but there was no easy and widely known way to provide a formal justification for decisions based on intangible values, which can include the reputation of an organization, the wellbeing of staff, or the impact on society or the environment at large. It was particularly difficult for decision makers to work through the trade offs between costs and intangible benefits, especially for long term investments by commercial organizations, and for governments and non profit organizations who are primarily concerned with intangible values without wasting limited funds. Even within commercial organizations, units traditionally viewed as cost centres found it difficult to get acceptance of proposals for projects that would lead to general and long term efficiency or capability gains, as the benefits were difficult to assign to profit centres . The approach of the VMM is to start by developing a framework of values, including costs, risks, tangible returns and intangible returns, then assign scores to each element in the framework. Once the relative scores of the different types of values are assigned and agreed, it becomes possible to examine alternatives and give yes no decisions in a fairly objective and repeatable manner, and review progress using a range of traditional quantitative program management techniques. As well as allowing comparison of different values within a project, the quantitative approach of the VMM ...

UN CEFACT s Modeling Methodology , commonly known as UMM is a modeling methodology which is developed by UN CEFACT UN CEFACT United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business . Goal of UMM The primary goal of UMM is to capture business requirements of inter organizational business processes. These requirements result in a platform independent UMM model. The UMM model can then be used to derive deployment artifacts for the IT systems of the participating business partners. UMM at a glance UMM enables to capture business knowledge independent of the underlying implementation technology, like Web Services or Ebxml ebXML . The goal is to specify a global choreography of a business collaboration serving as an agreement between the participating partners in the respective collaboration. Each business partner derives in turn its local orchestration, enabling the configuration of the business partner s system for the use within a service oriented architecture Service oriented architecture SOA . In order to guarantee user acceptance of the UMM, it must be both effective and easy to understand for the business process modelers and software architects. UMM is based on the Unified Modeling Language Unified Modeling Language UML and its current version is 1.0 with version 2.0 currently being under development. UMM 1.0 is based on UML 1.4 whereas UMM 2.0 will be based on UML 2.1.
