Other neat blogs

As part of our work here, we've been assigned doing research into various topics of interest to manufacturing organizations. My topic is Total Quality Management (TQM). I know what I think of when I hear the term TQM, but I'll be looking at what it means in general. And as I delve deeper into it, I'll post more articles about TQM. So far there's only the welcome page, and a page about what the terms Total, Quality, and Management are in general. Obviously future pages will need to look at TQM in much more detail.

One of my co-workers has created a neat blog dealing with open source software. Already there are 4 or 5 pages discussing the benefits of open source software, open source ERP, open source MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems).

Another neat blog is about ASP. In our industry we sometimes have a single term that can mean quite a few different things, depending upon context. To Microsoft, ASP can mean Active Server Pages. To IBM, it can mean Assigned Storage Pool or Auxilary Storage Pool. It can also mean Application Service Providers, and that's what this blog is about. Other terms used for ASP in this context are Saas (Software-as-a-Service), Web Delivered, and Browser-Based.

The last blog handles Production Scheduling software.

Please feel free to check out each of these blogs, and also please post some feedback to let us know what you think of them.

Thanks,
Hal Hamer
