From: MLive.com - http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2011/12/gms_lansing_facility_gets_nod.html
This article speaks about GM's newest U.S. plant, which is set, as of December 5, 2011, to receive an Energy Star certification for "superior energy efficiency" from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In order to receive this raging, the 2006 plant, which is in Lansing and which is called the Lansing Delta Township Assembly Plant, had to, according to the article, "perform in the top 25% of similar facilities nationwide for energy efficiency and meet strict energy...
According to the same article, these demonstrate commitment from companies towards protecting their practices, and thereby their customers. The fact that top officers are committed to this is, then a very important step. Furthermore, it is also important to mention that with these qualifications, bodies such as the EPA help manufacturers overcome barriers and provide incentives for a certain industry.
Some concrete examples of what the plant had to do to implement sustainable practices have been to: collect rainwater from the roof to use toilets and utilize this to flush toilets and waterless urinals. According to Energy Star…
Some concrete examples of what the plant had to do to implement sustainable practices have been to: collect rainwater from the roof to use toilets and utilize this to flush toilets and waterless urinals. According to Energy Star and its ratings, "improving the energy efficiency of our nation's industrial facilities is critical to protecting our environment" (Wayland, P1, 2011).
The organization in this article is important to note for the effects that it has for the implementation of the "superior efficiency" facet. This, again, proves to the community at large that an organization is truly committed to its values, and to promoting the well-being for the customers and the community at-large. The definition for this concept comes from the point when a company strives to do everything possible to attain the kind of efficiency superior to any other progress as well as any other process in the company. This superior efficiency is thus reflected in various other recognitions, such as, in this case, the offer of an energy star for GM in Michigan.
Yet superior efficiency is not just referring to energy savings, it refers to many other concepts as well for there are many companies that are achieving such important advancements. Thus, it is important for all companies to follow such steps and implement the kind of efficiency that is important not just for the company as a whole, but for everyone affiliated with it and everyone benefitting from it.
Forgiveness on human health. In its simplest form, the purpose of the study is to evaluate human psychological stress that might constitute a risk factor for heart disease. Further, the study will also evaluate the impact of forgiveness on heart disease. However, such a simple dissertation clearly demands further definition.

The purpose of this study was to investigate if cooperative learning will have a significantly positive impact on smaller or larger classes. In order to have valid results, I used both my largest and smallest classes as my sampling. I also incorporated a variety of teaching styles with cooperative
More advanced MIMO techniques can increase performance well beyond the current limits of data rate and reach" (p. 238). It would also appear that a growing number of vendors are recognizing the inherent constraints involved in the previous MIMO configuration and are developing superior alternatives. In this regard, according to Hedayat and his associates (2007), "Many MIMO systems for WiMAX are being developed without beamforming, and although it helps
Penrose Effect Penrose stated that "firm knowledge and experience gives rise to excess resources that can be redeployed" towards other opportunities in the marketplace. It is by this means that firms grow (Goerzen & Beamish, 2007). This growth, however, was not sustainable internally, because in firms characterized by predominantly internal management did not growth their knowledge and experience quickly enough to sustain a high level of growth. The Penrose Effect, therefore,
Wal-Mart's facilities are designed for logistics efficiency In a business world where lack of sustainable infrastructure leads to unorganized logistics and primeval warehouses, Wal-Mart has embraced a revolution. Wal-Mart is the leading global retailer that has set benchmarks for its competitors. The store is expanding at a rapid rate. Its stores are well-known for their tough negotiation with suppliers; this forces the competitors to lower their prices. All this is
