A model exploring the challenge of less pollution This model is part of a series of models that could serve as examples for small models on global challenges as they could be modeled by pupils. Of course, depending on their age and the time that is available as well as the help you offer they could come up with more details. What is the model asking?The model asks for the measures for a healthier environment using the KNOW WHY Questions from the KNOW WHY Method as they show up when we use the iMODELER. I...

Stark like interaction Revolutionary interfaces human to device an Apple Car Rumors of shrinking revenues Apple's costs Rumors of great upcoming products Sailing Apple's profit Flying Apple's revenue Apple Music, iTunes Apple's share price iCloud Apple buying their own stocks binding content to Apple others copy Apple products best ethical and environment standards Expectation of shrinking share price applying Idealized System Design assigning Kai Neumann :-) iBooks, Movies etc. Apple's integration in the enterprise (IBM cooperation) Logik of market satisfaction (Peak Stuff) Cycling Unification of iOS, Mac OS X and Apple TV Apple resisting authorities to crack iPhones

I share with Elon Musk that I use Apple and yet I am very disappointed that they are not better. Now, that Apple's share price continues to fall and now that Elon Musk in an interview - usually he criticizes Apple - predicted that they will come up with a cool electric vehicle I think it is time to reflect on Apple's destiny.

Monte Carlo simulations

A small qualitative model not just to show the importance of the iMODELER's main features. It also shows how to change one's organization's culture to a culture of regular reflexion of interconnections against a number of psychological obstacles. For more background information I recommend from Apple's iTunes Store the interactive ibook "KNOW WHY and the iMODELER" with many models and exercises. Note: a few factors have a quantitative formula. This is fake. I put them there to create the quantitative scr...

Produktentwicklung / Produktverbesserung: Produktübergreifende Fehlerpriorisierung by Franc Grimm

In diesem Mini-Beispiel geht es darum, den Unterschied zwischen einer rein produktbezogenen und einer produktübergreifenden Fehlerbewertung und -priorisierung im Sinne einer rein monetären Betrachtung aufzuzeigen. Hierbei werden aufgetretene Produktfehler miteinander verglichen und bewertet. Aufgrund der begrenzten Entwicklerkapazitäten sollen die Fehler mit der höchsten Relevanz ausgewählt und zuerst behoben werden. Um dies zu demonstrieren, werden in unserem Mini-Modell lediglich die folgenden 2 Fehle...
