Rural Demand Responsive Transport
This book analyzes the transport situation in so-called low-demand areas, i.e., rural areas where traditional public transport is often poor and inefficient. Though rural transport has largely been neglected in the literature in favor of more urbanized contexts, it is often the only mobility option for the many citizens who still live in these areas. This book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing further insights into rural transport research, in particular by presenting a valid solution: Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). This widespread technology allows public transport authorities to make their journeys more efficient by maximizing the load factor of vehicles, while helping citizens meet their mobility needs. The book addresses key research questions concerning the strengths and weaknesses of deploying Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) in rural areas; mayors' perceptions regarding the transport characteristics of their regions; and the evaluation of a DRT pilot project. These aspects are explored through a case study of DRT implementation in two rural areas near the Ligurian cities of Chiavari and Genoa.

The ISM method version 5
Customers expect increasingly valuable IT services, services that are flexible, reliable, secure, and efficient. Services that optimally support their users in their work. At the same time, IT organizations are struggling with rapidly changing applications and techniques, increasing compliance requirements, suppliers, and a shortage of employees.ITSM methods such as ITIL, DevOps, XLA, IT4IT, and SIAM are valuable and provide many insights and guidelines, but due to their complexity and size, they are almost never successfully applied.The road to go is a result-oriented applicable method that is compact and complete, and maximally supports the entire IT organization in creating valuable IT services. A method that is both manageable and executable.ISM Version 5 (Integrated Service Management) uses just seven processes to organize the supply chain from customer to suppliers, and from strategy to operations. It supports the professionals with compact, recognizable, and applicable frameworks and supports the managers with result-oriented and clear control.

Lean Production Training for Practice and Study - 35 Exercises with Solutions
No production is perfect. Waste creeps into every process. It makes it slow and expensive. Goods lie around in the warehouse, production takes place in unnecessarily large batches or employees wait unproductively to produce the next part. The result is high production costs and disappointed customers. Lean Production tackles this waste in all processes. But how do you actually implement the various Lean principles and methods? The success of Lean Production lies in doing, and this is precisely where the book comes in. The 35 practical exercises show in detail how the Lean approaches can be applied and successfully implemented. The solutions are supplemented with practical tips for implementation from the authors' extensive experience. The exercises are implemented in the LeanClean Inc. with many pictures and diagrams - concrete, simple and comprehensively explained.
Distributed Linguistic Representations and Decision Making
The Contribution of CRM to Sales Performance in the Hotel Business
Especially for the hospitality industry, Customer Relationship is one of the most important success factors with communication playing an integral part. The aim of this dissertation is to evaluate the influence of the most common direct marketing channels in the hotel business (e-mail and post mail) and the communication frequency on the re-buying behavior, i.e. the behavioral loyalty of existing hotel customers within a Customer Relationship Management context. Within the complex construct of CRM, marketing communication plays a central role in creating remembering effects and in initiating booking impulses, but neither the question of a worthwhile frequency nor the quality of the different media channels as a message transmitter within CRM have been evaluated so far. The main questions, which will be answered in this dissertation, are: What is the role of direct communication within Customer Relationship Management? What are the effect of on- and offline messages on customer loyalty, measured by the number of additional sales? Does communication directly and positively influence the purchase frequency of already existing customers?
